We're obviously hoping for a Whyte win for the simple sake of making the fight with Fury. But Wallin will be thinking of how he cut Fury to bits and knows if HE wins, he's getting the title shot. He's a big man, 6'5" and a southpaw. Whyte knows if he loses...he's through. So he won't be lacking in motivation. Whyte is the betting favourite. Wallin hasn't beaten anyone of note. He has 1 name on his record. Whyte by stark contrast has fought a rake of big names and beaten a few of them too. I think Whyte will stop this guy late or win a decision.
Good fight. Wallin has some skill and he moves well, but he can't punch. Thus I expect Whyte to steamroll him eventually
I’m gonna go with Whyte here. Wallin is nothing special. He simply gave a disinterested Fury some rough moments. Whyte via mid to late rounds stoppage.
Oh man, Wilder I was not boring. Seferi was his comeback after 2 years out. I will give you that one, but...... Wallin, with the blood pissing out of him and it looked like he might lose it on cuts?
Unbelievable........we agree again. Anyone who gets bored by a comebacking Fury putting his hands behind his back vs an unbeaten Wilder and daring him to hit him {and then getting hit} and is still bored MUST have seen some shit in their time... Anyways, Whye is gonna swing for the fences vs Wallin and then again vs Fury.
I think Whyte is gonna go for it. If he fails to take Wallin out he might settle into a pattern of aggressively outworking him.
I've always made allusions that cricket is an underrated skill to bring to boxing. Have a captain cooke at the seamer Cunningham delivered to Fury. Whyte's got to gets his shoulder close to his ear for this one.
No, Whyte complains about a shoulder injury. Personally I don't believe shoulder injuries are a real thing
Pretty obvious that Whyte is faking it . Was a bit too risky to take that fight wjen the fury match is pretty much a done deal
apparently, wallin is requesting medical evidence - don't blame him but i'm sure the doctor is complicit here.
Not Only That, Eddie Hearn is GREEN LIGHTING Fury as Whyte's Next Opponent as Well... Smart Move...Even In a Fight He's SUPPOSED to Win, It's Safer to Push Whyte to a UK Stadium Affair w/Fury Instead...The Otto Wallin's of the World Will ALWAYS Be There... REED
yeah. what the fuck would a guy be doing 1 week from a fight to get "Injured". Especially his shoulder. Fuck Eddie Hearn.
I don't blame him. I feel for Wallin but Whyte has been mandatory since before Fury even returned to the ring, he's more than earned his shot and it's a disgrace he's been kept waiting this long.
Whyte has partly himself to blame though. Getting caught roiding (before Rivas bout) and taking a nap against Povetkin didn't strengthen his case
