    I don't think Whyte has ever given up 30 pounds in a fight, but he may this time. Unless he comes in at 270, like he did against Wach. But he looked awful that night.

    I think Whyte needs to work on dealing with the weight of Fury. Whyte has fought boxers. There's nothing a kid with one win can help him with.

    Seems like Whyte needs to get used to moving a close to 300-pounder around the ring and breaking free from the clutches of a much heavier guy. Fury holds. Mauls. Roughs you up. That's how Fury wears you down. Then he surprises you with the combinations. It's not going to be a boxing match like it was with Wlad.

    Looks like Whyte is preparing to set a fast pace. Good thinking against an increasingly heavy and ponderous Fury.

    Damn. I was afraid of that. They put a no-punching clause in the contract, ey?

    He will never be able to sustain it.

    It would be an awful idea.

    No matter what Whyte does, all his efforts will amount to absolutely nothing in the face of a true boxing grandmaster like Fury.

    Watch the Robert Helenius fight and come back to me and tell me Whyte can beat Fury with a straight face. He cannot do it. He comes charging in swinging with no ring iq, zero head movement and his styrofoam chin stuck in the air. Tailor made for Fury.

    So, now styrofoam is bad? Since when? You buy your gamgam a crystal goblet for her birthday, you want it packed in what? What? That's right. Styrofoam. The best foam for protecting things.

    Two southpaws......

    Perhaps driven by their experience of sparring?

    I would’ve got Hughie fury in just for the mind games. Has Hughie and Tyson made up since Hughie helped Haye in sparring before the bellew fight?

    I think we'll see a different Fury in this fight.

    Closer to Wilder is safer as he needs room to unleash his power and doesn't really have an inside game.

    Whyte on the other hand is less rangy so Fury might decide to keep him at distance
