Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte: I'm Still Learning, Looking To Return In November

[giant_king]

Dillian a tough Brit with heart but he lacks the size and athleticism to even come close to beating deontay

He need to get his ass in shape

You can't do "on the job training" against Wilder. U will fight him over here in America, an wake up back home in the U.K! Lol

HAHA! This made me laugh so hard. And you're quite right too. I do rate Dillian Whyte and he's a very tough man, perhaps the toughest in the division but his skillset just doesn't match up well with Wilder's. For starters Deontay won't be on the front foot like Rivas was. Fighting on the back foot allowed Whyte all he needed to get accustomed to Rivas and plan accordingly. He will have to go after Wilder as back foot boxing is more Wilder's style and also Whyte being the challenger in this case will have to force the issue more in order to get the win. Trading with Wilder is extremely dangerous as we know. He is also unburdened by excess bulk and is quite fit. His last from the first to the last round. The most obvious "weakness" Wilder has aside from his lack of traditional boxing skills (which I wouldn't really call a weakness at this point) is maybe a weakness to bodywork. I've never really seen him been hurt to the body though and even a brutal body puncher like Whyte will have to:
1. Chase Wilder which will drain Whyte's already dodgy gas tank
2. Bring himself within range to get to Wilder who already has a long reach and has power in long or short punches (see Artur Szpilka ko).

Not a fanboy of Wilder's but there's no denying the dangers he poses. To me Wilder is just all wrong for Whyte. Whyte is highly intelligent and durable but Wilder wins presently based on what I've seen thus far. Would be a superb fight though.

Say what you want to say about Dillian, he has done well for himself.

Not bad for a guy who does not have much of an amateur pedigree to speak of.

He just took an undefeated fighter's 0 in a fight most thought and HOPED he would lose.

Get over yourselves and give the man his credit!

Rivas is an unknown, low ranked, midget.
Poor mans Takam, with out the boxing skills.

I give him credit for ducking all AJ and his 3 belts. Took a lot of balls to pass up that much money to keep the illusion alive.

Thing about Whyte is, hes a decent boxer and hits much, much harder than Fury.

How convenient AFTER the fact.

Lets just say Dilian "exposed" him!!

There was nothing to expose. Rivas was unknown rubbish before, and unknown rubbish after the fight.

Thats why they cherry picked him.

I like a lot of things about Whyte. His determination and grit. He tries hard and has decent boxing skills. I still think the elite in the division are too much for him.

Man, **** Dillian Whyte

[REDEEMER]

Man, **** Dillian Whyte

You would ?
