I am a big Parker fan but was disappointed with how he pulled himself through that fight, and think Whyte ultimately deserved the win - however I still think Parker should have been able to win it. The headbutt was a huge factor in that fight, it changed the momentum (Parker was clearly the A-side up until that moment), and it was scored as a knock down for Whyte despite while it wasn't a deliberate foul so shouldn't have been scored against Whyte - was actually a thing which should not have been allowed and Parker should have been allowed recovery time, let alone the fact Joe shouldn't ave been deducted a point for a being knocked down. Joe wasn't the same after that (debateable as to how much that was his fault), Whyte was allowed to do all kinds of things which he shouldn't have been allowed to do, and was in all kinds of trouble at the end of the fight but again stayed in it using dubious tactics. I don't blame him for trying where he could get away with it, but on another day that fight could have gone VERY differently - anyone who says Whyte wins every time they fight from what happened that day have their head up their crack.
Because he gave a date for Ortiz to fight him, and then backed out. That is the move of a coward. How do you decline a man's offer to fight, by making a counter offer on a DAZN date, and then decline when Ortiz accepts. Do I blame Whyte for fighting a lesser guy to ensure he gets the multi million dollar Joshua payday? No, but don't act like you will fight, if you won't. Say you aren't risking your Joshua payday, instead of giving fans brief hope that you grew a pair.
There's literally nothing that Whyte can do that will stop them hating him. It's just the way that boxing is on these forums. He could go on to beat Chisora, Ortiz, Joshua and the Fury/Wilder winner and they would make excuses as to why every win is crap, and then accuse him of ducking someone else, like Miller or Usyk. Personally, I think the hate should be considered a sign of respect. They wouldn't hate on him if he hadn't either beaten one of their favoured fighters or wasn't a threat to one.
i think whyte is quite average in overall boxing skills the reason IMO that whyte is number 1 contender is because he is a warrior willing to take one to give one v any fighter / is willing to put it all on the line and go out on his shield rather than play safe and lose. like him or loath him he is a warrior ranked number 1 in the wbc after fighting a final contender v browne you **** on him for fighting parker instead of ortiz he went in risking his title fight v parker as the underdog everywhere that i know of expected to lose. parker after having fought fury and joshua in the uk well known and brings money to the table ortiz good fighter lost to wilder brings 4 travelling fans from america/cuba ? put your number here ortiz brings £20k cuban tv money ? put your number here how much american tv money ? put your number here not much IMO and now people like yourself want the coward with no balls whyte to face ortiz before he can be considered for a world title shot by my reckoning that would mean whyte would have faced 3 top 5 fighters and 3 more top 20 fighters in order to be condsidered for a world title shot what a coward with no balls that is on that criteria bar marvin hageler 35 years ago find me another fighter in the last 35 years that has had to do this to get a title shot ?
Ignore the haters.... They spew the same hate towards AJ. There has been an awakening in the force, British heavyweights are emerging as the leaders of the division. And this puts fear in fight fans around the USA. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in these forum posters. They cannot bring themselves to accept a tight win and to give praise. Whyte.and AJ will.continue to dominate. I find the haters' lack of faith disturbing.
I liked the modest Wilder from three years ago. You know the guy who didn't dress in golden Versace jackets, wears gold chains stolen from Mr. T and drives alligator skin Lambos. The guy who doesn't say he'd beat Mike Tyson, Wlad Klitschko and Muhammad Ali. That guy seemed level headed, very likable. I wonder what happened to that version of Deontay.
Easy. Whyte won 114-111, 115-110 and 113-112 on the cards. The first KD wasn't a KD, it was a headbutt from Whyte and Parker went down from that. No punch! Without that bull**** "KD" Parker would have won the round 10-9. Furthermore he was clearly affected by the headbutt and looked out of his mind and dizzy for a few rounds. Without the first KD on the judges scorecards the scorecards would have been like 113-113 Draw, 114-112 Whyte and 114-112 Parker so a SPLIT DRAW officially. Considering Parker was affected by the headbutt and dizzy afterwards you can clearly think that he would have did better in the rounds afterwards then he did. Overall the conclusion is easy as ****: Without the headbutt in general Parker should have won the fight if he got some time to recover as Whyte was the guy who was moving his head towards Parker. Without the headbutt ruled as a KD the official result would have been a DRAW. So in any way if things were about to handled correctly Parker shouldn't have had lose the fight.
no, it isn't a sign of respect, it's the truth. What has he done that is that impressive? Based on the eye-test, he is average at best. So, let's look at the opponents since AJ. Bacurin in a comeback fight (fair enough), then a laboured win over Dave Allen, same with Ian Lewison, then he fights a gatekeeper in Chisora and the general consensus seems to be that he was beaten by Chisora that night but got the decision. Then he fights Tann in a keep busy, before taking on Helenius. Well, Helenius only turned up for the first 2 or 3 rounds and still managed to rock Whyte big time before deciding that he couldn't be bothered anymore and stayed on the back pedal the whole fight. Then comes Browne, a man who clearly didn't train and could barely move in the ring, a literal walking punchbag. Then, he takes on Parker, who has never looked good at world level, although i admittedly rated him above Whyte, so i give him credit for it, but Whyte still needed a headbutt to win.....so looking at all that, is it any surprise really that people aren't feeling the love fest from the Matchroom groupies for Whyte? no, it's not
I had Whyte beating Chisora by two clear rounds. I had Whyte edging the the Parker even with ignroring the wrongly given KD. I would back Parker to win in a rematch though.
Tyson Fury has already revealed the truth, you just need to read between the lines. Satan took him and replaced him with tha Bronze Bomber who has his foot permanently in his mouth. Tyson will release him with his special exorcising uppercut and bring Deontay back to us. Then he will finally get his wings and rise up through the roof of the Staples centre before heading to London and his battle with Eddie the AntiChrist.
Whyte is an example of overachiever, he has clearly overachieved already in his career. His balance is terrible, as is his footwork, his stamina is questionable, his boxing skills is pretty limited, his only technically good punch is left hook, he telegraphs literally all his right hooks or straight rights. Yet he's top-7 HW already. If you look back in, say, 80s, guys like Carl Williams or Reynaldo Snipes were light years ahead of Whyte in every aspect of boxing skills, yet reached roughly the same level in world rankings. Hell, Jesse Ferguson was technically sound compared to Whyte. So in that way nothing but respect for Dillian who did far better than everyone thought of him. He has heart, ambitions and desire and that's the main factor of his success.
He clearly lost to Parker and Chisora Big Daddy was also very out of shape I don't like him because he's a hypocrite and does the exact same things he criticises other fighters for doing. It might be politics but his mouth is a bit rich for my liking. If he's going to talk about money when he is refusing to fight then don't talk **** about other fighters no fighting him because of the $$$. Wilder was absolutely never ever going to make 7mill vs Whyte ffs that is just a fantasy. Like when Hearn claimed Parker was getting over 30% vs AJ before they fought and changed his tune after. Apparently AJ made 20mill vs Parker, by my calculations if Parker got at least 30% of the pot than that would be at least 8.5mill. Hearn was very much suggesting at least 1/3 of the pot so we will round it up to 10mill. Post that fight Wilder was wanting at least the same split that Parker got and Eddie then claimed Parker got no where near 1/3, in fact he didn't even get 6 million and they offered Wilder 7mill to fight Whyte lol. Hearn sure is a crooked ****
