Whyte is obvious favorite as he is bigger, more powerful, has more reach, is more seasoned, and fighting at home. It should be an easy fight for Whyte....unless Rivas can pull up an Andy Ruiz upset.

No need to read further then here . I could only add Whyte has much more experience at top level and Rivas has not fought a puncher yet.
It's a pretty close match. Whyte gets the nod with his edge in experience but neither has good stamina, neither is a great technician, both have enough power to knock the other out.
Rivas is ok but all he’s ever done is beat Jennings, who was actually on top before getting stopped late. Jennings is decent but that’s it. Rivas hasn’t fought anyone with a pulse except that fight.
At least Whyte had fought and beat some solid established fighters.
Still could be a good fight but i think Rivas is not quite big enough or quite good enough to overcome being smaller than Whyte. Then again, most of us said exactly the same about Andy Ruiz.
Whyte via being more active. Rivas is explosive when he punches, but he has a tendency to wait too long in between those bursts of offense(Either waiting to get his wind back or something).
Good fight. Both of these fighters would be decent defences for one of the champions on paper. Refreshing to see them facing off. If Dillian Whyte wins this, he has one of the better resumes of recent times, and definitely deserves a title shot. I don't know much about Rivas tbh, seen him in a decent fight against Herve Hubeaux once. This is a genuine mouth watering contest. Either Dillian wins and proves he is World class, or he goes the way of AJ against Ruiz. Dillian could struggle with the shortness of Rivas. Good fight! I can't pick, and the winner deserves major respect as the best of the rest.
