I'd love to see Whyte face Ortiz. It'd be real competitive, and Ortiz could really punish some of Whyte's sloppy aggression.

Give that man a title shot!

Great performance from Whyte, even though he stuck himself on the ropes ALL fight. Tactics like that will see him comfortably beaten, against a better opponent. Better ring craft needed, but, other than that, fantastic

That plodder Price won, too. Hold on for a tsunami of Scouse sex wee

That was as good a heavyweight clash as i’ve seen in a while, thoroughly enjoyable.
I’m warming to Whyte, he’s looking decent and will certainly have earned his big title shot, whenever that may be?
Think Wilder will KO him though.

I'm going to say Whyte beats Wilder, it's a matter of time before he faces someone who can hurt him and is fresh enough to capitalize on it. He's been outboxed and relied on his power to bail him out far too often. I can't wait to see someone knock that hype job out.

I'd like it to be Ortiz in their rematch though(if he has enough left) because I feel the doctor stepping in to check on a fighter with no cut after a knockdown, in the first fight, was more than a bit iffy. He was out on his feet and a few more solid shots would have ended the fight.

Made me laugh anyways :-)

Surely the crowd will have been left highly disappointed that they didn't get to witness the annual knock out / quit of Price on a Hearn undercard?

Thurman takes an old pacman,
And it was a elbow injury.

People over rating Pacman's victory over Briner who is a shite boxer.

Mmmmm....

You underestimated Thurman's lay-off also!

Glad Pernell got a shout on sat night. Just watched a 5min tribute, his defence & movement was ridiculous. Amazing talent.

Whyte supposedly failed a drugs test taken 17th July.

2nd time, should be banned for life if true.
