Comments Thread For: Oscar Rivas Vows To Make a Statement Against Dillian Whyte

[Roberto Vasquez]

Whyte will win in 10 rounds. Rivas was losing against Jennings until he got lucky. Too much too soon for Rivas

I hear it’s not selling well in the uk? At least that’s the word from hatman

It's not a surprise - no one knows who Rivas is here. He hasn't beaten anyone.

I wouldn’t count Rivas out just yet
Has extensive amateur background and can take a punch pretty well
I think the Jennings fight might have sparked something in him

2 out of 3 judges disagree with you. Rivas was well up on 2 cards

Rivas was winning and pulling away in the later half of the fight. This is a tough fight for Whyte.

If whyte can get a decent headbutt in to wobble rivas while the ref looks the other way or counts it as knockdown, hes in for the win!

No he wasn’t it was close but Rivas was winning the 2nd half of the fight...

Just because you say something doesn’t mean it’s true. Rivas was ahead on two judges cards and was pulling ahead in the later rounds. Not to mention he was conserving energy having just gone 10 rounds 5 weeks earlier.

Because UK fanboys only follow UK fighters, then act surprised when their fighter gets KO’d by a “nobody”


Whyte was out on his feet against the softest puncher in the division. I’d be worried about that if I was a fan.

How highly do you rate Rivas? I've seen some of his fights now and he doesn't appear to be the big puncher I thought he would be

Lol that's a bit harsh - Whyte has a way better record than Rivas. Jennings was three points ahead on one card. Jennings out boxed him for most of the fight and Jennings just got beat up by the slow-man of boxing Joe Joyce.

Seriously Rivas is a good (but still unproven as a pro) boxer. But why would anyone know who he is in the UK? He hasn't fought anyone yet. They barely even cover boxing in the serious newspapers in the UK. It's mainly because it's not seen as a sport (because boxers choose who they fight and it's all about money). They didn't even have Gorman/Dubois in the newspapers here. Joshua will get in the news. Khan gets in (still!). But they both got big in their Olympic days and stayed big. Audley Harrison was big news here for a while too for the same reason. Olympic boxing is seen as a proper sport (note how no one has an undefeated record in olympic boxing)

Whyte has a great chin. You can see that in the Joshua fight. Took a lot to put him down. He will stop Rivas in 10.
