PPV for that is a joke. Surely not many will willingly pay for that!

Whyte is a pretty big name domestically now but I don't think people would willingly pay to watch him (I think the only UK fighters who do big numbers on PPV is AJ, Fury and Khan vs. Brook.)

I think Parker will beat him. Whyte has improved a bit but isn't that level for me.

I think it's fair enough, the PPV. Heavyweight title contender, and one ex champ. Better than the Bellew v Haye crapfest.

Have to say I've been impressed by Whyte's single-mindedness since the Joshua fight , hes made things happen and now he's right there at the door again. Let's see if he can take his opportunity.

Each to their own I suppose. I can't see to many people willing to pay for this though. Parker is best known for holding his own and being in a snooze fest with AJ and Whyte landed 1 decent punch on him and has fought pretty poor opposition since. It's a decent fight for sky sports but if this is on Box Office I just can't see it drawing much attention

The Ginger Twat has made Golovkin’s team look like a bunch of amateurs here.

Parker - Whyte should be an exciting fight but it’s bad tough styles match up for my boy Dillian, he’s gonna lose.

I honestly think he can do it. He can box and move now ya know. :cool:

I think Dillian always had decent boxing skills. But Parker’s skills are superior and he has a great chin, don’t see any way Dillian can win this really.
 
Whyte-Parker is a good, solid match-up. Credit to both for taking it. Parker had every right to take a tune-up after the Joshua fight. If Whyte wins he deserves a re-match with Joshua if Parker wins (which I expect) he deserves a shot at Wilder. I was happy that Parker-Jennings and Whyte-Ortiz looked on but this may be better and more meaningful.
 
It will be a Parker decision. Whyte has more power but Parker has better boxing skills and will outbox him.

Yeah reckon that’s a good assessment.
Be a big statement if Whyte can knock him out though, seeing as AJ didnt
 

The size difference...
Fury has still got a bit of weight to lose before he gets back to the big time it seems.

Interesting fight , that's about it.
PPV, its a piss take.
 
What I want to happen is for Fury to go into the Joshua fight looking like that and to jab and move for 12 rounds while Joshua gets knackered. Would make for a great spectacle.

Sounds like you want Fury to win.

It's nice to know I'm still in better shape than the apparent best HW in the weight. Is it not a bit of a disgrace that he's entering a Fight in this condition?

Apparently he was 27 stone (more than 170kg) just a few months back. Kind of incredible.
 
Yeah it’s obvious Fury needs a few tunes up by size of him. Hopefully this goes wel cos the division does need him fighting in it really
 
Kazi said:
Why not? Do you have to have a great body to be a boxer? He’s ony 2lbs heavier than his previous highest.

Suppose not. Just a bit of a farce of a fight really. Would've liked/hoped to see him back to, or close to full fitness before he has his tune up fights.
 
Just watching Flanagan now. Good job he has never stepped up and taken on a big fight, he looks sluggish and very ordinary. Will be a close decision.
 
BT's commentators made the fight sound far closer than it was. Hooker won that easy.
 
15st against 19st. Hmmm, I wonder how this will go...
 
He's such a character though, right?
 
This is like a glorified sparing session. Too much respect being shown
 
A drug cheat who was knocked on his ass by a CW and had to cheat to win, by holding his head and hitting. Also clearly lost to a guy with man boobs.

Fury fans are the worst.
 
Can we watch the crowd instead? Seems more interesting.
