I think Whyte v Potvekin will not be at all competition. As one sided as Fury v Wilder for me but Whyte winning early

I'm not predicting nothing anymore!

That is a HELL of a punch.

To be honest you had it right until one of the most brutal KO punches we’ll see

Clayton Bigsby · « **Reply #63846 on:** August 22, 2020, 11:25:14 pm »

Never let punchers off the hook. If you get them hurt, get them the fcuk out of there. I didn't know he had that left in him to be honest

Thought whyte was going to stop povetkin in that round. Shows what I know.

Samie · « **Reply #63848 on:** August 22, 2020, 11:28:52 pm »

I did say Povetkin would need to win within 4 rounds. One round later is bad for nearest to pin.

Andy82lfc · « **Reply #63849 on:** August 22, 2020, 11:30:35 pm »

Thought Whyte looked lazy, he could have tried to finish him at the end of the round but just stood there. No one can predict that punch though.

Alf · « **Reply #63850 on:** August 22, 2020, 11:30:43 pm »

Amazing knockout from Povetkin. Whyte will regret not following up on that first knockdown although that uppercut probably justifies his reluctance.

Where does Whyte go from here? No way is he getting a title shot any time soon and Usyk might overtake him in the rankings

Andy82lfc · « **Reply #63853 on:** August 22, 2020, 11:36:05 pm »

Eddie Hearn sounds gutted. What a shame.

Eddie: 'no one at home will sleep tonight?'

Samie · « **Reply #63854 on:** August 22, 2020, 11:36:29 pm »

He's still a top 10 Heavy. Ruiz was calling him out a few months back, that could be an option.

Eddie has just said if he wins the rematch he reckons WBC will give him no.1 contender again.

Think another watch of the KO will be enough to put me to sleep so I think I'll be fine

Canelo punch that...goodnight Whyte..Damn!

Whyte is like a Kharn..When he gets knocked out it's always in style.

King_doggerel · « **Reply #63860 on:** August 22, 2020, 11:44:47 pm »

anyone think deep down Eddie is happy? Dillian is tied up in a rematch for WBC mandatory spot so that should make undisputed flight easier.

Clayton Bigsby · « **Reply #63861 on:** August 22, 2020, 11:48:02 pm »

Can anyone think of a rematch that went a different way after a KO in first match?

Edit: Immediate rematches

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #63862 on:** August 22, 2020, 11:48:38 pm »

Lewis Rahman
Joshua Ruiz

Sure there are many

Yeah think he is happy. He doesn't manage Dillian just promotes him. The cash cow is AJ and the cash fight is AJ V Fury!

Castillo v corrales if you havent seen them watch em belting fights.

Both KO's but vice versa in the rematch.

I expect Whyte to win the rematch by stoppage too.

Thinking back on those 2 fights, the first ones, both absolute shambles of outcomes. Neither Rahman or Ruiz had any right to be knocking out Lewis or AJ really.

Cotto v Margarito is another one. Still think he used those wraps for that fight, glad Nazim Richardson (RIP) caught him

Great example. That first fight finish was Rocky 4 esque in its ridiculousness. What a fight that was. Castillo really flogged him in the rematch

The first Corales - Castillo is an all time great fight particularly the 10th round. Thought it was a TKO stoppage rather than a KO though

Totally agree but the cliche in HW boxing is true imo.

I mean Price almost KO'd Povetkin a few years back that would have been a big shock too as he completely had him in trouble but as we all know what Price is like.

Yeah it was a TKO but same thing in my eyes just stopping a 99% certain KO.

Also Lewis-McCall

Only time I’ve seen a boxer cry mid fight in the rematch when McCall fell apart

McCall had rock of a head.

Martinez Vs Williams rematch. Another ATG brutal KO.

Said to the fellas 'povetkin 5th round ko or its whytes'...
Didn't expect the couple of knockdowns but still predicted the correct outcome. Wish I had money on it. Surely that's got to be it for Whyte. Sparked clean out. There's no way he's a contender now.

Clayton Bigsby · « **Reply #63878 on:** August 23, 2020, 08:02:38 am »

The way he laughed at Wilder I'm glad he got sparked

Someone mentioned there were good odds on them both hitting the canvas and I’m a bit pissed I didn’t back it
