Whyte vs Parker OFFICIAL for July 28th, O2 Arena

Box Office?

The undercard will have to be stacked out if im to buy this and i can't think of any potential match ups to make this card PPV worthy.

The Wbss finals on PPV will also be on around that time and buying them is a given.

 

Great fight. Should have happened before AJ though.

 

Good fight, but I think Parker will win easily. It's up to Whyte to surprise us all.

 

Great fight. Ive said numerous times that guys these size should be fighting one another, as stylistically they make better fights than them taking on the taller guys.

The downside is that this probably means awful IBF and WBC final eliminators.

If there was one fight in the division where the WBC would actually be commended for making a final eliminator, it would be this.....But we all know thats not going to happen.
Expecting Ortiz v Molina.

 

I'm not buying into this being as one sided as people say.

You'd argue that both would beat the opponents on either's resume.

I'm not convinced about Parker's immense skill advantage. Citing Whyte's close win over Chisora as evidence of this becomes less valid when you see Parker's win over a more out of shape Ruiz.

What Heart does Parker have? He didnt show a lot against Joshua.

 

So when Joshua beats Povetkin, another top 10 contender, he's going to get critized again isnt he?

Wilder and his team can make all the talk they want, but talk is cheap. His level of opposition doesnt suggest he wants the fight.

 

Well - you could have knocked me over with a feather when I heard this news...

Good on both of them and I really like this fight. Obviously I back Parker to win.... UK is THE place and Hearn is the kingpin in the sport today

 

While I don't think this will be one-sided, I must admit I won't pick Whyte to certainly beat Ruiz, H Fury or Takam. He's no more than 50/50 against any of these.

While Parker would certainly beat Chisora, let alone punching bags named Helenius and Lucas Browne.

Also Parker performed better vs AJ (keep in mind it was better AJ than in 2015 when he fought Whyte and KO'd him in 7).

But I think it would be close enough fight on judges' scorecards.

Parker isn't a big hitter and Whyte is tough so the fight lasts 12.

 

Put it this way, Joshua couldn't catch or KO Parker in a close back and forth fight, he flattened Whyte. No KO for Whyte. Parker outboxed Dimintrenko, Takam, Ruiz Jr and H.Fury in their prime. Whyte went life and death with a past it semi shot Chisora, his best opponent thus far. No decision for Whyte. Love watching Dillian Whyte fight and best of luck to him, boxing needs more characters like him, impartial in this one, but Parker must be the favorite at the bookies.

 

Eddie is clearly sacrificing Dillian's ranking to Joe P. I'm guessing Hearn either agreed a co-promotional contract or tons of options for Parker when he gave him the AJ fight. Feel bad for Dillian but I guess losing to Parker is probably better for him that getting KO'd by Ortiz or hugged to death in a Bulgarian UD loss.

 

Eddie knows what he’s doing. Whyte vs Parker in seven weeks time. Whyte vs Joshua in November.

 

Only a 5 week camp in Vegas for parker then 2 weeks in England, not the best preparation but he looks like he hasn’t put on to much weight since aj fight.

 

I don't think Whyte can beat Parker, even with crooked judging.

 

Great fight, I’m really buzzing for this!

Have always liked Parker alot, he has never been afraid of facing any man. I had problems with Whyte earlier in his career, when he seemed to be all mouth. But now, I have started to like him for the exact same reason.

Warriors like these two are a rarity in the sport these years. I got Parker by UD, but only 60/40 at best.

 

my thought are this came out of nowhere and im not guna complain about it. The names linked with both fighters sounded good enough and this is even better. Guna be a good fight to watch too.
