Whyte 254 vs 265 Browne

Brown could win this fight if he does not have a heart attack. I am surprised he passed the health test...............

 

I am looking forward to this fight and hoping Browne will win, but still fancy Whyte on points. The one thing I can't get out my head is how Helenius rocked Dillian. Helenius is currently a dreadful boxer. He also carried an injury during that fight with Dillian. Chisora is another one who had Whyte hurt and Chisora has looked anything but impressive since. I am starting to think Dillian is overrated and he's due to be taken out. I will still back Whyte to win, but would not be shocked if Browne wins.

 

Both look in reasonable shape. I still expect Browne to stop Whyte, perhaps by the 8th round.

 

Helenius is easily a top 5 power puncher in the division.

 

It's a good six years and some change since that was the case.

 

Parker above Helenius? Wallin? Povetkin?

Everything else aside. Pure punching power goes to Helenius all day. Price, Joshua and Granat has similar type of power. Thus top 5 puncher of the division.

 

Whyte's 265lb is going to slow him up especially if Browne can keep up a good pace which I suspect he will. I also suspect Hearn will have the judges knobbled mind you. He wants Whyte to face Wilder and a loss here torpedoes that.

 

Too me it seems that people in general mix up power with KO's

When I say Helenius packs tremendous power. I dont say that he manages to deliver it on fight night. He can't because of poor movement, stamina, reactions, timing, technique etc. Povetkin has him beaten in all those nesessary areas to knock out his opponents.

But on a stationary measuring target. I would bet on Helenius ainec.

 

When did you think Whyte wasn' overrated? He is B level at best. AJ aside I think he struggles with all the top 4/5 British heavies
