Whyte is no more than British level, but i can see him punching Chisora to a stand still. Chisora is better known for the fights he's lost than the fights he's won.
Given that Whyte couldn't get Allen out of there I don't see how he knocks out Chisora. Both men aren't brilliant at boxing and their technique is poor so it could be a very boring fight. Hoping for a slugfest at best. Chisora on points for me.
The build up for Haye Whyte would def be better than a bout between the two which would look like his fight against Chisora when Del was laid flat out.
Really is a pick em fight. I rated whyte prior to the minto fight where i think tbf he picked up the shoulder injury. Good showing against joshua. But to me hes looked poor since. Chisoras a good fighter...just struggles down to his lack of height/reach in the division. Pretty much the reason he fights how he does. But hes pretty good at it...hes more than just a plodder. Problem with chisora is you just dont know how motivated he is from one fight to the next. To this day the only people that have beat him have been class acts. Fury x 2 Klitchko. Haye. And Pulev. Not counting the helenius robbery against him. At the same time hes not actually had many good wins. I m going chisora for the upset if hes anything like the version that fought pulev recently tho. Think it ll be a good fight...where boxing goes out the window. Chisora will land whyte wont be able to help himself.
Hmm...yeah lookimg through Chisora's record and was suprised to see he is 26-6 with 18 wins by knockout. Remember him being 15-5 or something... Had a look through and he has some ok wins and other than pulev has a little bit of form, granted against noone especially good... Was fancying Whyte but who has he beat? Allen? His power is overrated too. He gave Joshua a slight scare but still got iced. Joshua was green and still is tbh, can only see the gulf getting larger as Joshua improves. I think Whyte may be overrated. If he wins it'll be his best win by far... If del is in shape I fancy him to win on points.
If they both try to box and keep some discipline, it will be a snoozefest 12 rounds without anything landing very clean. Neither of them have enough ability or power to overwhelm the other. The only way the fight is entertaining is if one (or both) of them loses it and starts throwing wild punches.
The ref will be pulling them apart all night with Chisora's head pushing under Whyte's chin. Chisora will probably lose a point for using his head, Whyte will get warned a few times for hitting the back of Chisora head. Whyte will land a consistent jab before every clinch and win it on unanimous decison. They may as well just make them wear them big padded sumo suits and just run at each other.
If you're lucky this fight will be about as good as a Danny Williams v. Matt Skelton fight of 10 years ago.
Chisora can win this. I don't see a knockout, and I also don't see anything to convince me Whyte is anything at all. Joshua should have stopped him in the 1st, got sloppy and walked onto a swinging for the fences shot thereafter. The fight was only even remotely competitive because took Joshua a round or so to regain his composure/senses. Ive seen nothing from Whyte since that makes me think he will amount to anything. Chisora isn't a puncher, but he can fight at a pace, he'd have beaten Haye had he not got blasted out when he did, and did well against better fighters than Whyte. I don't like either of them, but feel that in a sloppy but gruelling fight, Chisora will win.
If Chisora really wants this he wont get stopped. I'm not sure Whyte is a huge puncher and he can be wildly inaccurate. Ill go for Whyte UD on volume and the fact that Derek isn't a puncher either
I'd beg to differ, the shot that put Joshua on ***** street only travelled about 14 inches. If Whyte had the brains and engine, he may have finished the job.
