RBR Itauma v Whyte August 16th

[borntoloseNOT]

Pretty excited to see how main plays out, on paper Itauma looks to be unstoppable here, but the experience factor Whyte brings, well if he gets flattened like the rest so far it’ll really stir up some conversations I think.

Bold move if it happens.

I don't get the hype around this dude.

The hype is easy to understand if you've actually seen him fight. He just hasn't faced a live opponent yet. Whyte will be a step up for him.

After the Kholmatov and Ball fights, I see Ray Ford’s name and I’m watching

Yeah it’s a real head scratcher. Unbeaten in 12 pro fights at only 20 years old. Unbeaten as a jnr amateur who was sparring top pro CW/HWs as a school kid! The best coaches in this country have been fucking raving about him for the last couple of years, but yeah, don’t understand the hype??

What would you need to "get" for someone of his age to impress you?

Just try and catch the fight, if he performs like previous occasions you’ll see be happy you did.

I've seen a few of his fights but every prospect looks impressive against cans. I just haven't seen anything from him that makes me think he's special. But after Usyk retires, HW is wide open and it's unlikely he won't become undisputed. There's just no other prospects.

Tyson-esque.

The comparisons are a bit unfair, when anyone gets compared to Tyson the reality is going to be underwhelming. If Dillian takes him the distance everyone will calm down. Obviously has the skills but the intangibles?

He said "someone of his age".

fuck it, if he gets past Whyte, lets do it, lets fast track this kid and see what he is made of

i think he will get found out, but there are a lot of boxing insiders saying he is the real deal, so lets roll the dice

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Good, Goodman says he’s broke as fuck, hope he gets a good payday

if Whyte is saying he is broke, then its on him

fucking hate people who have had lots of money and been a dickhead with it

[treelo]

that is nearly as good as the John Fury moment with Whyte

or the laxative comment, not sure why but he is a highlight reel for things like this

I really hope that he's some kind of comedian otherwise that was a colossal fuck up which turned out to be unintentionally hilarious.
