Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Gets Off The Floor To Decision Oscar Rivas

[Shadoww702]

Based on what? Ortiz's win over Jennings or his win over David Allen?

Based on his fight with Wilder and how he held his own. Whyte got KO'd and looked like sht against AJ.

And I don't think Whyte stands a CHANCE against Wilder. Especially when Parker almost KHTFO! Ortiz we all know does at least.

[SN!PER]

Those of you telling us he's got a better resume and skills than Ortiz.

Don't flip-flop. Keep that same opinion after Wilder ices him.

Disgusting!!

Not only is Wilder ducking Whyte, but the WBC are helping to facilitate this ducking for over 2 years now.


This tells you one thing, most thing Whyte beats Wilder, but Wilder will generate much more money.

You dont know the story behind it: Eddie Hearn initially wanted Deontay to run a gauntlet in the UK in order for Wilder to 'earn' a shot at a undefeated Joshua : Edward proposed Whyte and even had Chisora in mind ( lol ), any other champion would of felt disrespected that he had to sign with Matchroom, then fight a mini tournament.

Second point, Wilder is the champion you dont chase contenders, contenders need to put in their work and earn a shot. The 'Bronze-Bomber' has been fighting Luis Ortiz, and Tyson Fury in the last year since Whyte has been crying -- No one believes that Deontay is ducking this bum.

He needed to build Wilder up in UK first back then - look at Parker now getting the big fights there now that people know who he is (in the UK) from the AJ and Whyte fights. Whyte was doing nothing until he made his name from fighting Joshua. Wilder is an amazing self-promoter but his fights weren't doing very big numbers especially back then. If Wilder was British - he would be absolutely massive. Got to wonder what Wilder's promoter was doing

That's the same reason they lowballed Whyte for the Joshua fight. Joshua making his US debut against a British heavyweight would be bad - you need a UK Vs USA (or a big name in the US) fighter for it to sell in the US

Now Whyte is almost guaranteed a shot against Wilder but when he gets it he will have been no.1 contender for something like 900 days. Just ridiculous.

On your second point - Fury did nothing to deserve that fight. He was retired, came back and struggled to beat 2 bums. He was just a big name who Wilder thought would be an easy fight. I don't even know who Ortiz beat for his second chance. No-names. As for Breazeale - he did nothing too, beat some nobodies.

So Ortiz's best achievement in years and years of boxing is being competitive against Wilder and then getting KO'd?

Whyte has a much better record in 26 fights and Ortiz is 40 and about to retire

Whyte knocked down and beat AJ in their first fight, and he injured his shoulder just after he hurt AJ in their pro-fight. So he couldn't go after him. Whyte had shoulder surgery after that. AJ would have prob won anyway but AJ is a top-level fighter. He's still ranked no. 4 even now.

If Whyte didn't stand a chance Wilder would have fought him sometime in the 600 days that Whyte had been no.1 contender.

Right because its really hard to sell a HW unification vs. the top two power-punchers in the sport, conversation is over.

Rivas is a tough dude but no skill whatsoever. This is why Fury is so far ahead of everyone.

Skills pay the bills.

Rivas is one of the better balanced skilled today,Fury gets away with things due to being 6'9. What you said isn't true at all, just check his am career having wins over Ruiz and Pulev.

[REDEEMER]

Of course he knows they are chinless. Who doesn't? And Rivas lands a decent uppercut! Where is Whyte? Oh, on the ground! What the fu.k? Wow!

The replay showed it was a clear push after the upper cut, Ref was out of position. Also Rivas doesn't exactly carry light fists so would prove only Whtytes chin is pretty good if it was a legit knockdown.

[REDEEMER]

Whyte has improved. He boxed nicely tonight and made one mistake and got away with it. Im ready to see him against the top tier guys.

Parker was top tier only losing to AJ as did Whyte. Whyte probably loses to Joshua ,Fury and Wilder but id favor him over Ortiz maybe Povetkin if he shows up prepared,i don't think he was sharp against Rivas as weve seen him but he fought smarter. The knockdown was also a push while Whyte was against the ropes watch Rivas left glove its a shove after the uppercut.

- -Whyte clearly went done and hurt badly after the uppercut.

He was also on the back foot for most of the fight, a clear power advantage for Rivas. Moreover near the end of the 12th Rivas LHk KDs him into the ropes.

Crook Brit ref failed to call it, and worse, breaks up the follow up to buy Whyte time to the bell.

Deyonce beat up to the point of stoppage against TBA Duhapas, so the ref let him hang in to call a tko the first significant flurry Wilder landed

Manny close to being Robbed in Vegas again.

Past time for boxing to revamp their schoolboy scoring and officials who too often can't add up elementary school scores.
