Is Otto Wallin The Darkhorse Of the Division?

Good point,maybe I should have posted that the ref will need to stamp his authority on both Whyte and Wallin early to stop both of there shenanigans. I’ve no doubt if Whyte starts rough housing that Wallin will give him it straight back . Could well be a DQ if the ref does not take control early .

 

Naw, Sweden is not so ******ed like U.K and even if Wallin never had boxed as a pro, he always had some job and where to live.
Not alone if to talk about US, where .

 

I think he's probably in the top 10 and will beat Whyte. Once the better prospects move up I don't feel he'd be particularly dominant, and won't be champ under reasonable circumstances.

 

He could very well be the dark horse of the division.

Let's be honest he gave Fury one hell of a fight considering he was meant to be an easy(?) opponent. The bloke's obviously still on a learning curve even though he's had 20+ bouts. . He took everything Fury threw at him in the 2nd half of the fight and didn't noticeably get overwhelmed, he just showed his inexperience fighting an elite fighter. He took a few good heavy shots and his chin held up fine.

On paper Whyte should win this and I'm fairly favouring Whyte to win hook or by crook but will not be surprised in the slightest if Otto wins.

If Otto wins or loses a close decision against an on-form Whyte then he's in the top ten for me.

It's gonna be an interesting fight and we'll definitely know Otto's potential either way.

 

Wallin is sparring with Kownaski right now, interesting.

 

I think Wallin was underestimated because he got bracketed with Schwartz. Different animal.

 

What a bunch of **** from a total fool. Wallin had the crap beaten out of him for 10 rounds of that fight.

 

Lesser than Wilder.
He appeared a bit wrong cherry pick by Bob and Frank for Fury as warm up fight.

BTW, Irish boxing now does have prospect Paddy, thus far Bob's team had get him good suitable fights in row.
I will wait till he will get a boxer in the ring.

 

Darkhorse? Nah , he's just one of the herd of marginally decent heavyweights

 

U think Bob and Frank had picked supposedly dangerous opponent for Fury as a keep busy fight?
It is against business flowchart.
Sometimes matchmakers are wrong and he appeared better vs Fury than Wilder.

In pro boxing champs are created by managers and promoters, event's promoters and ppl who are buying tickets and ppvs.

 

Oh I agree with that, but I think Fury thought Wallin wasn't any good either. I'd have to see more from Wallin then that one fight.

 

I dunno if to be fair. At least he moves damn far better than 39 y.o Pulev version from A.J title defense fight and is lesser predictable specimen too.
