Very likely. Price -Thompson all over again.

Shyte is suffering from the after effects of Dbol roids(diminished punch resistance due to his estrogen levels being higher)(what I refer to as estrogenic pervasions)

I have to agree here. Whyte can't really make the significant adjustments to avoid being KO'd unless he transforms into a slick boxer or a devastating boxer-puncher who presses the action early.
This will be especially expectant if Povetkin turns up in a similar condition. He may be 40-odd, but he still has some pop in those hands. And it was a skilful punch that put Whyte out- no lucky punch excuse here.
Whyte I believe will probably be hesitant when he throws which is the worst headspace for a fighter to be in and ripe for another KO.

Obviously, it makes more sense for Whyte to win as he has more miles and more fights left in him...but I just can't see him pulling it off.

He will need to beat Povetkin in spectacular fashion to announce his return.

Whyte by TKO/KO, 3rd.

Whyte really shouldn’t make significant adjustments, he was winning the fight up until the stoppage . How can one not have seeing him pull it off he has all the advantages minus the experience,I think it probably ends by mid rounds and it favors Whyte if it’s a shorter fight .

i agree with Hunter here, think Povetkin takes him out between 5 and 9

I only see Whyte winning if he gets Povetkin in trouble, throws a lot of punches, and the ref stops it (kinda the British way). If he doesn't get a technical stoppage on that order Povetkin will win, probably by a late stoppage ... say 10th round KO or TKO. If Whyte is able to last the entire fight he may get a controversial decision, but mostly I only see hgim winning by a referee stoppage. Povetkin will be fine and protesting it too.

Still, this is an interesting fight for many reasons. Povetkin has to have off days and has to be slowing down at some point. Is it here? Can Whyte overcome the KO? Will he be the same brash and fearless Whyte?
