Comments Thread For: Hearn Wants Whyte-Povetkin II To Happen in Late November, Explains Why

[thack]

[QUOTE=Robbie Barrett;20725567]That's his job. He's White's promoter you know.

What putting on fights that nobody wants to see .....You haven't really read or understood it, and who is this 'White' you are referring to ?

Whyte probably just ain't good enough to beat Sasha

[jonnyc420]

That's kind of reckless, that was a brutal shot but Hearn wants to put Whyte in immediate danger again so be it. If he gets KO'd cold again he is done.

Getting the biggest fights for his fighter. Fans seem to forget he has the same duty to Whyte as he does to Joshua or any of his fighters.

[Stiff-Hard-Jab]

I got lost in Dillian's assessment of the knock out punch. I think he never saw the uppercut coming, and his stiffened body falling to the canvas like a wooden log backs that up.

It's going to be a huge adjustment when he's now fighting a guy who's already shut his lights off once. Povetkin proved he can take Whyte's best and get up afterwards.

[James Hunt]

How Hearn slipped in a rematch clause is beyond me. Whyte isn't a champion, isn't a superstar, and the fight was an eliminator. From where I was standing, Whyte got brutally eliminated without controversy. Povetkin shouldn't be locked into having to face his ko victim again for his next fight.

It wasn't an eliminator. It was voluntary defence of interim title.

Whyte, this cat has a peanut sized IQ. This dude held a lottery ticket in his hands for over a thousand days and didn't know what to do with it.

He refused to cash it in. I know that both Eddie Hearn, Mauricio Sulaiman, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua had all thrown him a lifeline in order to prevent him from self-destructing but it was to no avail.

Now his career is in shambles. He may never get that mandatory spot again and that window is closing very fast. This guy has rejected title offers from both Wilder and Joshua.

What's worse is that he rejected those offers to fight an almost 41 year old, weak, frail and shot Alexander Povetkin; Who was years beyond his prime and was KO by him, after previously dropping him to the canvas twice and didn't attempt to put him away.

I declare, this guy is a certifiable nutjob

He can’t roid his glass jaw.

He never offered him a title shot. It was the opposite and you know it. Your audacity to spread lies is admirable.

Would he be cleared medically to be able to fight in November doe? Currently his licence would be suspended. He suffered a heavy KO. Head bouncing off the canvas. He would need to spar, train etc For November that would be impossible.

No, he would not be eligible. I don't know about the BBBoC; However, here in the U.S. A fighter is typically suspended a minimum of 90 days each and every time they suffer a knockout and that is on a state by state basis. Which means it's a national ban.
