    Good fight, Whyte could easily loose this.

    I expect Parker to be alot more involved this time round. He struggled with the height and size of AJ, where as Whyte is a similar size.

      I love this fight. I more so like the heart of these fighters. Whyte should fight Ortiz next while Parker should fight Povetkin

        When the other guy starts asking Eddie for favours after winning the purse bid, something is fishy.

        The guy who won the purse bid was fishy. Plus the money was horrible for Whyte.

        You can say what you want but Whyte is earning 5x+ for what he'd earn for Pulev.

        If you have a problem with this, then you can pay his bills for him.

          I actually like this matchup, the outcome will clearly show where they stand in the division. Maybe it will be a bout that shows a less defensive minded Parker and a more than one dimensional Whyte. (We can hope)

            I didn't see this one coming. Good match up on paper, apparently Parker now knows to get that easy UK money.

              This fight won't go the distance. All action and could end up being a FOTY candidate.

                Boxing fans are mental. One minute it's "the sanctioning bodies are all ****, **** the belts" and the next minute it's "he's scared to fight in an eliminator for the ABC belt".

                This is a great fight. **** whatever the sanctioning bodies want the fighters to do.

                  I dont know why half the posters watch boxing on here ,its definitely the dumbest era ive encountered .where a good fighter is exposed if its competitive or overated if he loses .

                  The Parker vs Whyte fight style wise is better then Ortiz or Pulev on paper and you still have SO CALLED fans calling it mediocre .

                    I don't know why some fans aren't liking this fight. Sure you might have preferred them to fight other people but that in no way makes this a bad match-up. Dillian will come forward throwing bombs and Parker will look to use his speed to counter punch him. Dillian won't be as defensively minded as AJ was which i think will embolden Parker to throw some more leather as well. I think this has all the makings of a barn burner and depending on the quality could potentially rematch well as well.

                      What favors??? And relevance?

                      The money was 3 times better than what his own promotor offered so thats just BS. And surely he was ok with the split as that was mandated by the IBF and well known beforehand.

                      So you are talking crap.

                      You can say what you want but Whyte is earning 5x+ for what he'd earn for Pulev.
                      Source?
                      If you have a problem with this, then you can pay his bills for him.
                      All I ask that if you say A, then have some integrity and say B.

                      It's not like 'Ok I will participate in this pursebid, but if I lose the bid, I wont fight'. That's just bitshy.
