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

[kafkod]

I'm getting really sick of the way Boxingscene articles are written. Despite the title being "Hearn Wants Whyte-Povetkin II To Happen in Late November, Explains Why" the first two thirds of the article is just copy/paste of some earlier articles which have nothing to do with the title. If the writers really think that it is necessary to give some sort of introduction or context to the news, they can do it in a sentence or two and it will be quite enough. There is no need to have to go through ten paragraphs of copy/paste before you get to the actual thing you want to read about. And that seems to be the case for 90% of articles here which are artificially lengthened by copy/pasting earlier stuff.

I know, it's so annoying being told all about the past history of the rivalry between, eg, Fury and Wilder, or Canelo and GGG, including the dates and results of their previous fights, every time there is a new development involving any of them.

You started out claiming Whyte had turned down multiple offers to fight Wilder, and now you're making excuses for Wilder and saying that he had good reasons to avoid Whyte!

I said Wilder offered Whyte conditional offers on four different occasions to challenge him for his WBC title.

Wilder made ZERO offers to fight Dillian Whyte. Cut the bullshit, man!

Responding to an offer by making unreasonable demands for a multi-fight deal was NOT Wilder making making an offer to Dillian, it was Wilder killing an offer from Dillian.

The WBC ordering Whyte to fight eliminators with Ortiz or whoever was NOT Wilder making offers to Dillian.

Three of the four conditional offers that Deontay Wilder made to Dillian Whyte were voluntary defenses. One was to fight Ortiz first, the second was to sign with the PBC; When Dillian Whyte contract with Matchroom had expired, becoming a free agent and Barry Hearn making that slave comment and the last voluntary defense offer was to guarantee him a fight with Joshua first.

Whyte never had a contract with Matchroom. He works with them on a fight by fight basis. That's what old man Hearn was talking about when he made that "no more slave contracts" comment.

Haymon though, still has slave contracts. That was why Wilder told Dillian, "If you want to fight me, you gotta sign up with my massa first"

Wait a minute! Hold your horses fanboy. Let's face some facts here. Wilder offered him a total of four title defenses on four different occasions but yet he refused all of them.

Let's go down the line; First Wilder said put Joshua's name on the same contract and I will give you a title defense but Whyte declined. Secondly, Wilder told Whyte to challenge Luis Ortiz and defeat him and I'll give you a shot at the title and yet once again Dillian Whyte declined the offer.

Thirdly, Wilder told him to come over and sign with the PBC and he would let him challenge him for his title but he rejected that offer also and lastly, Wilder told Whyte to fight his Final eliminator bout against Luiz Ortiz which was sanctioned by the WBC and then he would get his title shot but Dillian Whyte with his infinite wisdom turned that offer down as well.

So in closing, Wilder did all he could to try to prevent Whyte from jumping off a cliff. He tried everything in his power to save him from himself but Dillian was hard headed. He wouldn't heed any advice. He was his own worst enemy.

His loss to the aging cherrypicked Sasha Povetkin was a self-inflicted wound that could have been avoided. So he only has himself to blame.

None of those are actually WBC mandated title shots though, are they? So you’ve not given any facts, just Twitter post BS. That’s about as credible as Tyson Fury saying he would knock Wilder clean out — it wasn’t ever going to happen.

Damn Slow Down! WTF is the rush, let the man heal for what was a great shot and a Big Knockout

Also too with the WBC Saying that Interim is going to have to wait another year or until after Unification then it is really no need to rush things now.

Not only that but Povetkin has Rights, maybe he wants to cash in his shot. Sure he has a Contract for Rematch but that has NOTHING to do with the WBC

I really don't understand what is the deal with that kind of writing. Is it just because they think that longer articles seem more serious and important, or does it have something to do with internet marketing, ads or something like that?

Eddie talks rubbish time slot too tight and his major concern being to push for a mandatory title fight which no one wants to see

Yep. And still, there's people who believe he wants to make Fury-AJ, ASAP! "I'm gonna do all I can to still force Dillian Whyte into the way... but we are gagging for Fury and AJ for the Lineal/Undisputed doe!"

[BoZz]

Feel bad for povetkin for having wasting his time by dealing with this idiot again. He deserves to progress and do better things against better opposition. When he beats him again this fat slow fu** Whyte will talk sh** again and make himself look like he deserves a shot at the top HW fighters. Bum needs to retire, we saw against Wach how slow, sluggish he was..no way he would last against Fury or even Wilder 3 rounds.
