    I really hope you're right but I've seen Rivas outside of the Jennings fight and I wasn't particularly impressed by him at all. He's a bit one dimensional to me and I don't buy into his power either. Maybe if he does shell up and Whyte acts as you suggest then he could catch Whyte gassing a bit. We'll see.

    I think it could be a cracker. I'm down on PPV but feeling tempted :(

    Fingers crossed for a shootout and it’s not a boring fight

    Bombs away!

    I’m starting to edge towards Rivas. Points.

    Rivas’ physique is nuts. He reminds me of Yoel Romero in that his upper body is so heavily muscled.

    Whyte did the "Charr stare"

    That bait and switch thing is the most accurate thing I’ve read on this forum

    Then Dave Allen knocks out a fitter Browne in half the rounds - the shame! A Rivas win, & Hearns running out of hype - cue Buatsi - fast tracked as the next Sugar Ray Leonard ;)

    I’d be interested to know his amateur record. I can’t find figures anywhere.

    Anyway, can’t wait for this fight.

    Best Ruiz and Pulev, other than that I can honestly say I know nothing about him.

    I’d love it if he won though, Whyte is far over hyped. I genuinely think this is a cherry pick though.
