Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte: I Won Clearly, So Why Would I Consider A Rematch With Jermaine Franklin?

[4truth]

One of those fights where it wasn't really a robbery but at the same time was in no way a clear win.

There isn't going to be a rematch though while Whyte still has big fight aspirations.

Hopefully Franklin can springboard off of this effort to get another high profile opportunity, one he can train for full time.

Usual Matchroom bullchit, but at least people see straight through it these days. Jermaine Franklin flew across the pond, with a small number of people, and owned Dillian Shyte in his own backyard. We all saw it!

Im not sure what the stats are for who thought who won, maybe more did think Jermaine won? So no point in rematch, the first fight will show a loss on Franklins CV still regardless. Maybe a rematch would be neccesary if it is to prove who is greater historically or better between the 2. Like Pac v floyd rematch or Nelo v Floyd.
But if Franklin wins, Whyte is still greater historically. Franklin just needs to go his own path. But Whyte did have home advantage so maybe a rematch is fair if Franklin wants it that bad and the public do also. If Whyte thinks he beatS franklin 10 out of 10 times maybe have a rematch to prove it. If beating Franklin again enhances career maybe have rematch?
Got to weight it all up.

Yep, unfortunately, though I'm sure the rest of the world will catch up eventually.

The draw was the most accurate scorecard of the three, demonstrating that scoring even rounds works.

I always was for 10-9 or 10-8 or 10-7… A guy scores a KD he wins the round no matter what happens unless other guy scores one too. I never have even rounds unless a guy winning the round gets deducted a point. If i’m sober & scoring I try to judge each round in 1 minute segments unless there is a KD. Who won 2 out of the 3 minutes?

Whyte escapes with another paper thin win against a semi retired boxer working in a factory. He is one lucky fighter to get the nod his way each time with Chisora, Parker and now Franklin and Povetkin getting severe covid at older age, Helenius being sick when facing Whyte. His real level will be on display again if Hearn allows the AJ rematch. For a guy with hardly any footwork, no ability to see uppercuts and the speed of a sloth he has done well. He probably should take the payday as he will eventually lose to these factory worker / taxi driver level guys.
