Comments Thread For: Haye: I Felt No Intensity From Whyte, His Energy Dissipated Really Fast

[Tony Green]

I happen to agree with David Haye. Something was definitely off with Dillian Whyte. This has been the moment that he had hoped for, searched for and longed for all the days of his boxing career.

So for him to come into this fight showing no signs of fight or life; Out of shape and unprepared was more than a little disappointing. It's alright to lose but it's how you lose that matters.

He should have made this a firefight from the opening bell. It was his only chance of winning the fight. My heart goes out to all of his British fans like David Haye who once supported and believed in him. He simply let them down.

Haye always goes with the guy who Tyson is fighting, that's his schtick, this fight was always gonna be a walkover, Whyte is a very similar fighter to chisora and look how that went, twice. Smart people make money betting on these types of fights, other people are called David haye

Wilder suddenly doesn't look as bad as people thought.

Whyte is a BUM !!!!

The same people who thought he stood a chance are also 12L fans. Saying he can beat Wilder.

I hope they too bet $1 million on 12L winning his next fight

Vegas needs bettors like that

LOL, all the salty Fury hating lads are now making excuses for their boy's loss, the fact is Fury didn't allow Whyte to look good, same happened to Chisora years ago.
Now it's time for Fury to dominate the bodybuilder (if he gets past the little Cruiserweight)

He looked the same vs Povetkin in the rematch. He got the KO only because Povetkin almost died from covid 2 months prior. But Whyte had no energy there too.

Whyte is too damn large. Name me one boxer with gas tank who has his build? He built his body up to take a pounding and lean on Fury but he never got near Fury. He should have been 20 pounds lighter and worked on fighting on angles.

Even then it probably wouldn't have worked but it was a better strategy than being built like a strong man competitor.

This was never a moment he wanted. I wonder why he actually took this fight.

He was chasing Wilder, not Fury.

I don't think he came out unprepared or out of shape. Its just that his plan was rather childish for someone like Fury. Did Whyte seriously think that changing his stance in the opening round would surprise Fury or put him off his rhythm? Fury is too well-rounded a boxer to be bothered by that and has been boxing both ways in his career. He gained weight so Fury won't rough him up and tried dirty elbow tricks but Fury fought him at a distance.

Whyte looked lackluster because he thought these little things would win him a fight against Fury. There was no improvement in the head or feet movement departments and that is what made Whyte look "off". He looked better against other boxers because they too lack in this department. Fury is too agile, has good movement, and will fight at range so there was nothing in Whyte's preparation bag for that scenario.

The WBC saved Whyte from death. Wilder would have killed this guy. Whyte is a bum who talks nonsense to get himself into fights.

I don't think Whyte was even confident of his own chances against Fury. He blatantly avoided Ortiz and Wallin so he must have been aware that Fury would beat him.

Also I think he's become a bit gunshy from his Povetkin KO. He looked like he was scared of getting countered.

Starting the fight in a southpaw stance was the sign there was going to be nothing.
