Whyte has beaten far better fighters than Wilder the stats don’t lie even Rivas after being dominated by Whyte is ranked higher than the fake bogeyman Ortiz in the WBC rankings

LOL. The paid Matchroom trolls have woken up to defend their PED cheat hero Whyte and his fake drug aided “wins”Comment

Hopefully he fights some of these other Top rank guys. Rivas - Takam would be fine.Comment

I think this is a positive for Rivas. He also needs to replace his corner too.
For his team to let what happened in England go down is not good at all. His team should be looking out for his well-being. Had that not been Dillian Shtye but instead someone that's actually good he could've gotten seriously hurt or even worse.Comment

The whole thing was extremely shady that's for sure but apparently the team knew about the gloves just beforehand.
"On fight night, about a half hour before we were set to go into the ring, the Whyte camp suddenly told us they were not wearing the gloves that they selected at the glove selection meeting.
"Not the number one pair that they selected and not the number two pair either, but another brand of gloves that weren’t even on the table at the glove selection.
"Of course, we protested and said, ‘what was the point of having the glove selection meeting if you’re going to wear whatever you want?’ At that meeting Dillian’s representative Mark Tibbs had chosen the two sets of gloves and signed them off.
"No one said at the rules meeting, ‘oh by the way, if on the night you want to switch gloves you can.’
"To make matters worse, not only was Dillian allowed to wear these new gloves, but he was already gloved up and we weren’t even allowed to inspect them.
"Bear in mind, his camp inspected our gloves – they knew what we were wearing. In contrast we had no idea what they were using because they were allowed to pick whatever glove they wanted, tape it up and put it on.
"Even after we reluctantly agreed to let them make the change we still weren’t allowed to see the gloves.
They shouldn't have let Rivas step in the ring if this occurred. Pure negligence.
Hearn and Dillian Shyte are the biggest scumbags in boxing 100 percent but a strong team should not let their fighter be out in a dangerous situation like this.Comment

If I’m not mistaken , it was at the last minute or some chit like that when they found out about the gloves
I’m imagining they had to make a decision and decided to go ahead with the fight
Yvon Michel did say he made a complaint to the WBC before the fight got off , I’m about 90% sure that’s what I recall reading in the Montreal journalComment

Whyte was on PEDs and also cheating on gloves. Why did the WBC even uphold this fight? Rivas' team wasn't told of Whyte's positive tests and weren't allowed to inspect Whyte's gloves. They should have re-mandated that fight on a neutral ground with a neutral commission.Comment

Rivas v someone like Miller would be decentComment
