    Mush I went easy on you last time with Slurpcock, I'm gonna be a right **** this time <laugh>

    You forget that we've got an up and coming n progressive manager while you've got the hasbeen one.

    You'll realise this when you nick him off us this time next year after you've paid Mourninho off <cheers>

    Watched that punch about 50 times now, that would have killed most of us. Whyte was cold as **** the instant that connected. I’m sorry but he’s not coming back from that, Dubois should move into position in 2-3 fights to take his seat at the table.

    Called it.....

    The Taylor result was a farce as well, no way she won that fight.

    Whyte boxed as well as I’ve ever seen from him last night tbh. He looked the right weight and toned as well. He completely controlled that fight until that devastating undercut. That’s heavyweight boxing though, and exactly what Povetkin can do.

    Whyte was winning that fight all day, until he got caught. Experience showed in the end, Dylan maybe a bit too confident.

    He can come back from it imo. He got suckered, it happens. He’s got the rematch clause and all things being equal he should win it. If he does he should still be the mandatory for the winner of Wilder / Fury 3.

    Povetkin will catch him again in a rematch... He might be 40 but he's a level up on whyte

    I don’t see him ‘coming back’ (was he ever there?), technically he’s not good enough and he’s up against 3 people who could dominate every path he tries to take:

    Fury who beats him every which way technically.

    Joshua who’s his nemesis and beats him every time.

    Dubois who hits harder than he does and has a granite chin apparently.

    Whyte’s level is going to be the Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz, Usyk, Joyce and Wilder stage, which is all good for a boxer like him but he can forget his dream of being a proper world champ.

    I don’t think that fight has made much difference other than stopping him in his tracks, his fat massive head was always going to be his undoing sooner or later.

    Beating Povetkin should be a formality for him, he was dominating him last night. A bit more discipline and he’d have put him away in that round.

    You might be right and that might be his level, but my point was that he’s still highly likely to get his shot at a title, and last nights upset didn’t finish him.

    Probably, but the momentum has gone. Nobody is believing the body snatcher maximum pain bullshit anymore, he’d ‘improved’ he’d ‘had his best ever camp’ and he was being screwed over... then stopped in his tracks the minute he had to deal with some real quality. He should beat Povetkin on paper for sure, and had him all ends up last night ready to sleep but still found a way to **** it up.

    Perhaps his journey isn’t finished but I think he’s been exposed, he’s full of **** and nobody is buying “It’s the heavyweight division, anything can happen”.

    David Price used to boss fights then end up snoring.

    Tbh i was surprised by him last night, the change of trainer and tactics appeared to be spot on, and he looked as good as I’ve seen him, and he was avoiding taking the amount of leather he normally does, and then that lol.

    I don't agree with that personally... Povetkin comes from a high level all through the amateurs and at 41 has lost only twice.... I think povetkin will catch him again in the rematch

    You don’t agree that Whyte was dominating Povetkin?
