Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Blasts Out Dillian Whyte in Sixth With Vicious Uppercut

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - Tyson Fury landed the best punch of his career to defend the sport's most treasured prize. The defending lineal/WBC champion from Manchester, England remained unbeaten and still king of the heavyweight division following a sixth-round knockout of countryman and mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte. A perfectly placed right uppercut put Whyte down and--upon rising from the canvas--unable to steady himself, prompting referee Mark Lyson to stop the contest at 2:59 of round six Saturday evening in front of a sellout crowd of 94,000 at the famed Wembley Stadium in London.

Thought this **** was free on DAZN or ESPN+. (which I pay for). Smh

Saw that $70 tag and my knees buckled. Just coughed up $75 last weekend for Spence.

"B-b-b-b-but PPV dead, doe." Nah, it's everywhere. Still.

I thought ESPN and ESPN+ was going to televise without charging ridiculous PPV $75 charge.

Hell nah I’m paying for this fight, stream gods unite

Still shocking to me that ESPN thinks this is PPV worthy in the afternoon in the US. I imagine their numbers will be terrible

Yeah, no reason for it to be PPV there, especially at that price point and Saturday afternoon

Then again, it seems almost any fight with a recognisable name is PPV in the US now, although PBC are the worst for it. ESPN aren’t usually too bad.

Would have been worth it had there been a decent undercard. I could have put something together with a few of my neighbors. This is just one watchable fight. Unlikely as it might seem, what if it just goes a few rounds?

it could go early, who knows. Heavyweight boxing. Whyte hasn’t shown the best chin. We’ve not really seen him hit again properly hurt since Povetkin had him in the recovery position, plus it’s not like he’s had the best chin even before that too. It’s heavyweight boxing, you can’t rule out any man landing a big shot, that goes for both fighters.

I think it’ll go plenty of rounds though. Whyte has always given a good account even in his 2 losses. Whyte had one good arm v AJ and he was raw and he still had AJ badly hurt. he had Povetkin down a couple of times before being caught, so it’s not like anyone has ever just walked through Whyte or had an easy time. People expect it to be really one sided, but when has that ever happened with Dillian?

Also Isaac Lowe v Nick Ball could be a good scrap. I know they don’t have the profile but could have the makings of a good domestic fight.
