I withdraw my previous praise of the ref Yeah, that was pretty obvious. Rivas did throw low, but the punch very obviously hit Whyte's elbow, and Whyte didn't react in any way. The ref was just looking for an excuse to take away Rivas' last chance. To be fair, the right man won, but that kind of thing makes my head explode.

Cableaddict Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Re: Dillion Whyte vs Oscar Rivas results To me Whyte's stock went down with this performance. He looked sloppy at times, and out of shape. Well, he's never been seen as a master boxer, just a really tough & aggressive guy. Kind of the new Chisora. And Rivas is really very good, in a limited way. I thought Whyte fought just about the best fight he could have. Like Layton said, his could use more stamina, but he looked fairly ripped, (much better than when he fought AJ) so maybe he's just one of those guys that will never have a good gas tank. He IS pretty muscle-heavy. So... My opinion of Whyte hasn't changed a bit.. He's just exciting cannon-fodder for the top guys in the division. A hard night for anybody, but certainly not a future champion. Edited July 21, 2019 by Cableaddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Re: Dillion Whyte vs Oscar Rivas results And so much disappointment for me with Rivas. I really had hopes for him becoming the next Joe Frazier. He has the guts, he has the inside ability, but clearly he just doesn't have the power. Oh well .....

BoztheMadman Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Re: Dillion Whyte vs Oscar Rivas results Whyte is overrated, end of story. This just confirms that fact. He will be exposed pretty soon...AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Re: Dillion Whyte vs Oscar Rivas results Whyte is overrated, end of story. This just confirms that fact. He will be exposed pretty soon...AGAIN. After watching the fight Boz I kind of agree. But, I do think Whyte can beat the best heavyweights as it only takes one punch in Heavyweight boxing, but it's more of wishful thinking than anything else. You say he's overrated Boz but theres not much below him on the boxrec rankings that Whyte should be scared of. I think his rankings about right and not so sure if overrated the best word. Who is overrating him Boz? 6 Dillian Whyte 7 Jarrell Miller 8 Luis Ortiz 9 Kubrat Pulev 10 Joseph Parker 11 Adam Kownacki 12 Dereck Chisora 13 Dominic Breazeale 14 Oscar Rivas 15 Christian Hammer 16 Gerald Washington 17 Filip Hrgovic 18 Joe Joyce 19 David Price 20 Charles Martin 21 Hughie Fury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked at the HW rankings in a while. I think Hrgovic is the only one there that I'd feel confdent picking vs Whyte. Hrgovic has solid skills, excellent defense, a great jab, and a very long reach. Plus apparently very good power. I don't think Whyte would have an easy time getting inside on him. Kownacki & Breazeale have a 50-50 chance, IMO. Kownacki-Whyte would be an interesting fight, as they are very similar fighters: Short reach, high output, & questionable defense. Rock 'em sock 'em.

True, Hrgovic got the size and is a dangerous puncher too. So far he's shown he can tangle with the best today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Re: Dillion Whyte vs Oscar Rivas results It all depends if you use the AJ-Whyte fight as the yardstick to ever measure Whyte by. On Saturday I thought Whyte fought well from behind his jab and every time Tibbs got him to box rather than fight he won the round. Frank has been mentoring him too - a limited boxer with heart himself but always fought from behind the jab too. Whyte's improving for sure in his technique, but everytime he tried to mix it for no apparent reason he got tagged by someone even as poor as Rivas. So will surely come a-cropper vs anyone in the Top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
