    How would you see this one going if it somehow happened in the future?
    Interesting match up IMO.

    Interesting one. Hunter has good chin, great footwork and speed and also some decent power (underrated power at least). And additionally he's much bigger & taller than Rivas who clearly had some big trouble with the reach disadvantage in there. Hunter has rangy arms and solid reach. He looked really impressive in his last four fights. I think he has a decent chance to upset Whyte who is still limited as ****.

    I like Hunter a lot and think he can go far with his attitude if he keeps improving. As of right now he leaves himself way too open at times so my prediction would be Whyte decapitating him with a left hook.

    Hunter is a real ******* for any HW on a given night. Whyte imo would find home with his left hand, be it jab or hook, he'd start building up points, but loses rounds due to Hunters better footwork. I think at some point he KOs Hunter tho

    Hunter absolutely destroyed Fabio Maldonado in 2 rounds with contemptuous ease, the same Maldonado who Rivas didn't come close to stopping six months earlier and lasted the full 10 round distance against him and the same Rivas who nearly sparked Whyte out cold on Saturday night with an innocuous love tap.

    Before anyone says, but... but... but... you picked Rivas to KO Whyte, well... goddammit he almost did. That's irrelevant here. No one has asked me who'd win between Rivas and Hunter. To which I would say without hesitation. Michael Hunter Jr. by vicious and early KO, after an absolute 2 round mauling. Whyte wouldn't know what hit him. He's never been in someone who eels envy for just how slippery he is.

    The triangle theories don't always workin boxing, but I would favor Hunter too. The former Cruiser invasion that's currently in effect at HW will turn things on its head pretty soon I believe.

    What age did you drop out of school son? How many school teachers disowned you for your warped view on logic.

    If you are special needs, than I acknowledge your disability. Full respect. But Hunter bigger than Rivas? What the EFF are you talking about you plum.

    If I am honest, Rivas did not almost KO Whyte... Whyte fell down mostly because of crossing his legs... he was not hurt in the slightest, and showed no visible sign of being hurt.. he was side stepping and an uppercut found his chin. Other than that.. Whyte was never in serious trouble... and kept Rivas honest all night.

    Let's make a bet right now, I say Dillian whoops Hunter... let's go.
