I would expect Fury to beat Whyte but with the anticipation of a unification on the horizon, could prove a distraction. Tyson plays it safe & wins on points but not without one or two scares along the way, if he hangs his chin out.
Fury will win this but it's not going to be a whitewash like some people seem to think. Whyte may be raw and wild..... but he's a big strong rugged and tough heavyweight that always comes to fight and will give anybody in the division a tough nights work, especially when he's motivated. Fury will know he's in a fight that's for sure.
Whyte doesn't have the explosiveness to worry Fury in terms of a knockout. Wilder was more of a threat than him in that sense. However Fury won't want to take this fight lightly and I think he will come in good shape, particularly it being his first UK fight in some time. I still think Fury wins by stoppage between rounds 7-9.
An accurate hook or overhand by Whyte could be enough to change the opinions of many here about Furys invincibility. All can happen in the HWs of today. Povetkins uppercut on Whytes chin of some years ago Is a prove
Fury eats nuclear bombs for breakfast. It's been proven that hurting Fury only galvanizes him & makes him more dangerous. It's amazing he doesn't turn green. Fury clips Whyte with a quick 1,2 he's going to do a little dance and Fury will maul him to death
I highly doubt it will continue to hold as it has so far. In Wilder II he has passed its peak imo. The same has happened to Joshua. USyK instead is on the rise
Whyte just isn’t good enough. His jab won’t bother fury and he’ll struggle to get inside and do any work. He will get jabbed all night long by fury and eventually get stopped around 7/8 rounds max. it’s a shame we aren’t getting whyte vs wilder as that is a fun/closer fight
I know in Wilder 1 he went down and got up 2 times after two different series of blows. Very good even unbelievable. In Wilder III instead Wilder dropped him twice with only one punch. Fury is in the waning phase imo at least as to the resistance of his chin. It's physiological.
Fury isn't invincible. Wilder had him down enough and whilst you can argue wilder is the bigger single puncher whyte is far more aggressive and will hit tyson with a lot more volume. I think it's going to be a slug fest as whyte will drag him into one. If it goes that way Fury has the stamina advantage but neither are iron chinned and as much as whyte has been dropped a few times Fury isn't a puncher. Very close fight I reckon
Hopefully Fury puts an end to the Whyte hype once and for all. Although, if Whyte somehow manages to club Fury like a seal pup I'll also LMFAO. Win-win whatever TF happens
Unless Fury is completely shot or Whyte lands an all-time classic perfect KO punch (always possible in a Heavyweight match), this should be a dominant win by Fury, in whatever style he wishes to fight. Whyte's not a world class fighter.
Difference is, there was a considerable technical differential in Sasha's favor that night. [url]I bet on that outcome[/url], fancying that the boxing IQ (reading comprehension, ability to set traps) and accurate counter punching of Povetkin would find Whyte out — it wasn't a shocking result, and certainly nowhere close to as shocking a result as Whyte connecting to similar effect on the much superior Fury would be.
