    In terms of his popularity and relationship with the British public, i can see the Frank Bruno comparisons. His knockout power reminds me of Tyson.

      No doubt, I'm sorta jealous of the love of boxing Mexicans & the Euros got in their countries while I gotta deal with all these US momo's that can name more dudes Kim Kasdashian has f#cked then can name active boxers.

      And how can you not love the Ricky Hatton song. I was walking along singing the Ricky Hatton song 2 weeks after he got his ass kicked vs Mayweather. Thats how catchy that song is.

            I say boxer-puncher. I like how he uses the jab to probe the defense and find his range also he is a good counter-puncher ( very rare trait in a HW). I like his ring generalship ... hes going to need to rely on that most of all given his muscle mass (that can/will give him stamina issues). His great physical features cloud his ring I.Q : he's smart and patient however that only makes me question his fighting spirit -- I like to know how he reacts when he gets punch in the mouth....has he evolved from the armature background? I hope Whyte whom incidentally beat him as a youth can also answer my question on Saturday. Cant wait.

              Hope they aren't thinking they'll see this fight go past 3.



              Can't believe this is PPV either.

                Ouch! its like a staked PBC card. On a side note I hope Bellew makes an ass of himself in the post fight interview ; the man is gold on the mic.

                  Joshua vs Whyte is a good fight if it were a standard match-up. Headlining a PPV is ridiculous. Making Whyte out to be a legitimate threat to Joshua is also reaching.

                  I like Whyte, been following him since the start and I think he'll settle in as top domestic/contender level - he's a Price sort of level fighter. If I remember correctly there were times in the Minto fight that ze Yank couldn't miss Whyte.

                  If this were a bastardized version of roulette, I'd bet on Joshua to always land on Whyte. With that happening, it can't go past 3.

                  I got Barroso and Masternak pulling the upsets. I think Luke Campbell is in for a tough night too.

                    Agreed on Masternak he is the : younger , experienced of the two ; tough opponent all his losses have been close. I think Mitchell get a UD.

                      Mitchell definitely has the ability to but certain things about him stick with me like his non-existent defence. I can't give him a chance against fighters that can **** and a southpaw to boot.

                      You got bets on? Odds are good for either foreigner.
