Comments Thread For: Whyte on Povetkin Rematch: I've Never Been This Excited For a Fight in My Life

[Earl-Hickey]

its no mystery why whyte is hated he talks a lot of **** and is always ragging on somebody also he acts like he's a world champion when he clearly is not on that level. so naturally people will celebrate when he fails. didn't he also get caught cheating?

He's an uncharismatic loud mouth

He talks a lot but he has no humor or charisma if any kind so its just grating to listen to.

You can only be a talker if you have charisma otherwise you come off as a massive bell end like shyte

Again, most of you on here are idiots. Whyte is facing top 10 guys consistently and rematching right away, yet you idiots are condemning him for it? Meanwhile Fury has fought a string of nobodies since coming back, and you idiots praise him for it? Just like you praised Wilder for fighting 5 years of bums?

What most fans are happy about is that a loudmouth was annihilated out cold. Has nothing to do with past accomplishments... which would include his 2 previous where Whyte looked very weak. But hey, keep playing deflectorama, friend.

White is a ****en bum. Povetkin should put his lights out again.

White starchs Povetking in his next fight.I do not see Povetkin able to outbox this guy.He had a lucky punch. Period!

You sir are either a moron or a weekend boxing fan, but not an actual boxing student.

There was NOTHING lucky about that punch... it is called experience. IT was beautifully set up and was the entire strategy going into the fight.

IT is no secret that Whyte gets hits... A LOT... and has been KD's and TKO'ed with upper cuts... this was Povetkin's strategy.

Lucky punch? Did you even watch the fight? He had been setting him up for that punch all night long by digging to the body then in this instance feinted to the body and came up through his guard to land an uppercut. Whyte has been susceptible to the uppercut his entire career. No this wasn’t “lucky” it was calculated and perfectly timed.

It'll be interesting to see if Whyte adopts the Joshua–Ruiz II strategy for the rematch. He'd be foolish not to – from a distance using his jab, he could win it without too much trouble. There's absolutely no point getting into a close-range tear-up with Povetkin. Too tough, too experienced. Even Wladimir didn't want it.
