Why Whyte will Beat Joshua

This fight is a rare treat for boxing fans, the top 2 HW prospects facing off against each other, can't remember this ever happening before.

Whyte's an absolute beast, a threat to anyone in the division. A real 50-50 fight

 

AJ Oluwafemi Olasheni is going to do a job on Dillan Whyte. Razor Ruddock beat Lewis in the amateurs and we all saw what happened in the pros. Whyte is going to get executed. I was hoping he would take AJ into the later rounds but the way he is going on he may get clicked early.

 

I don't mind who wins on Saturday. I'm neutral. But the amateur fight means nothing to me. It was 6/7 years ago, in a tiny ring, with huge gloves and head gear, and both of them (especially Whyte) threw plenty of wild swings whilst they were off balance. Also, it was obviously only a 3 round fight. So unless you're putting forward a case that's it's given Whyte a psychological advantage, I really can't see how it's relevant.

Both guys look completely different at this stage of their careers.

From what I've seen of both of them, I think Joshua will win because of Whyte's lack of speed. But may the best man win.

 

I think Femi will win.

 

Amazed anyone can watch that fight and see the same AJ we see in his recent fights.

 

Did you actually watch Whyte's fight with Minto and come away thinking 'Yes, this guy has a chance'? He looked awful and left himself awfully exposed on multiple occasions. If he does that against Joshua, he'll get ironed out within a few rounds.

 

The reason why whyte will win is because unlike the other opposition he's actually not scared of AJ

 

Hang on. You created a thread saying Whyte will beat Joshua and now you're saying maybe AJ wins. You don't sound that confident

 

I watched the original fight last night, DW looked like he already had a pretty solid base compared to now - AJ has come a LONG way since that fight. It only reinforces my sentiment that DW has a punchers chance, the odds are AJ's stocks will go way up.... though good on him and his team for taking the risk as it's not a free win and his chin may well be tested.

 

In what way, exactly? Be specific.
