    I have great respect for whyte for fighting all comers and for his honest assessment of rivas. He's not delusional like some fighters. He knows the risk and is taking it head on. I think this fight a toss up but i lean towards rivas. I been waiting for rivas to make a splash. He's a good fighter

      Respect to whyte for always stepping up but this Rivas kid appears an old school fighter , the roll whyte is on , exposure and PPV billing he has been given I believe has given him a confidence and false belief of his ability and level that he feels he's at , not saying he won't win but this ( all things considered) is a 50/50 fight for me...

        Thanks man. Good fight it should be.

          Whyte should of fought AJ because this looks like a risky fight to me, I guess he thinks he can be a PPV star on his own but I don't think he'll make much money from this Rivas matchup, the casual british boxing fan won't pay for this like the Chisora rematch and the hardcores won't unless the undercard is super stacked.

          I think Whyte has made the wrong move here, we will find out though

            Obviously this doesn't have the star power of Lewis v Tyson but it's a far more competitive fight.

              Rivas isn't a great boxer but neither is Whyte, Rivas has serious power but so does Whyte, both have trouble with stamina. I like this fight a lot.

                    Chisora who has a lot more energy, pressure, combinations and power couldn't get him out of there with body shots but the lazy lighter hitter who works at a snail pace will?

                    Well you're going to be disappointed. Whyte will win pretty wide on points. If Rivas doesn't have a chin, he'll be knocked out at some point.

                      Wilder is scared. Turned down 7 Mill to fight him. So he obviously sees him as more than just a threat.
