    I haven’t seen much of Rivas and only saw highlights of Jennings fight. Just googled him. Just lmfao this guy is jacked on drugs. 3D delts, ridiculous arms. Looks like a WWE wrestler.

    He's decent but it probably ends there. I had Jennings up by 2 or 3 rounds from memory. Rivas was struggling with Jennings' box and move style; he is a little one paced and direct. Those things should make it a really fun fight against Whyte

    Allens just tweeted that hes been offered a "decent" fight on this card.

    He's replied to a tweet about Charles Martin.

    It'll be David Price. It's already been spoke about publicly by Hearn.

    I'd be surprised if Rivas passes the medical over here tbh

    All Eddie has to do these days is say "those in boxing or who know the game, know how tough this fight is" and then u get hordes of casuals pretending all over youtube and social media that they have seen the fighter to make themselves appear more knowledgeable.

    You can spot them a mile away. The Sky Sports Boxing youtube video on this fight announcement is nauseating. Casuals acting as if Rivas is godzilla and not a man who’s only win is Jennings in which he was losing.

    Guys with Paul Pogba as their avatar calling those with Willie Pep avatar’s "casuals" because they are disappointed its not Povetkin.

    Have you just inadvertently described some sort of ... chinny robot?

    Perchance?

    If he's not jacked he's a full time body builder, that physique is, as you say, ridiculous!!!

    Rivas hits hard but is very slow and has a low punch output. Jennings only needed to survive the round to get the nod when they fought but then let himself get caught up. I thought Rivas would have been a perfect fight for Fury to look great in, but Whyte gets the call. If Dillian boxes and moves he will tire Rivas and take him out around 6/7. If he stands in front of him it could be interesting.

    I actually don't think it's an awful fight. But it certainly isn't a PPV in my opinion

    If the undercard is strong i'll buy it. Parker v Chisora, Allen v Price, Charlie Edwards Unification, chuck in a British title fight or two and it'll be a good card

    Good news. You can watch both cards.

    I think if Parker finds some meanness he's a top 5 heavyweight. I love a freak show fight too.

    Forgot Campbell has a big fight lined up. Suspect that he could get on the card as chief support actually.
