Going to be a bad night for Eddie

Whyte actually came in at 18-2. So not much more than he did for Del Boy. He also uses his size a lot better than the other big heavies, will be leaning on him the whole time which saps the strength of the more explosive fighters.

Time will tell and Rivas definitely has a chance but I think Whyte prevails personally.

Del Boy I'm a bit undecided on. Could go either way.

Allen wins also for me, Hard to pick Price over everyone after Kash Ali fight

 

Where is this over confidence coming from with Rivas?

Rivas is the smaller man, shorter arms, was dragged nearly all the way by Jennings, in a fight that was very very close after 11 rounds.

The same Jennings that novice Joe Joyce just beat with more convincing scorecards after 11 rounds. And Joyce isn't exactly a bundle of skills.

So Rivas' best win was not that convincing and it wasnt a great performance. Other than that what has he done to warrant this faith?


Don't misunderstand, Rivas might win, who knows but I wouldn't be fully confident either way, I'm siding with Whyte because he is the proven fighter, fought better opponents and has better wins.

I think this has more to do with hoping Hearn fails and just hating on Hearn and his stable of fighters.

 

Sounds like you're truly wishing it.

 

Nah, it's not going to be a bad night for Hearn. He'd lose no sleep if anyone of these three took an 'L'. He needed a viable PPV show and, to be fair to him, he's just about pulled it off. The catch line of this event should be 'Ice to the Eskimos'

 

Rivas will end whyte

 

This is how I see it going.

 

I think your assessment of Rivas is totally correct, but I struggle with Whyte being considered proven at this point. He has the W's on his record but his performances have been extremely shaky at best IMO.

 

Can't see Szpillka being able to beat Chisora.

The Szpillka that fought Kownacki looked like a ridiculously shot fighter, regardless of age.
He also just about beat Wach, who at this stage must be about as mobile as a ring post.

 

I think Allen will spark price quite early on.

With Chisora you just never know. I thought he was completely shot after the Pulev fight but then he seemed to have the fire in his belly again for the first whyte fight and also knocked takam out a fight or two after that.

Whyte vs Rivas is a toss up. Will be interesting to see what happens.

 

Might be draw night why just a strange feeling.

 

Mr Davo, I believe you're making very good points, when you think about it Whyte had two very very close fights with Chisora, maybe lost the first one and got a late stoppage in a fight that was very competitive.

He knocked out Browne but Dave Allen did the same job quicker.

Take the dodgy Knockdown away in the Parker fight and it's a draw on the cards I believe and many thought Parker won that.

It's true really, if you actually take a closer look at Whytes resume and wins and the circumstances he got them in then is he really "proven"?

Well, We will find out tonight..

 

Great prediction so far mate

 

One out of three predictions right, not bad smithy.
