Heavyweight title challenger Dillian Whyte says his fight against Tyson Fury shouldn’t have been stopped. “I was buzzed but obviously I was trying to regather my senses and he proper pushed me and I fell over and hit my head on the canvas which is illegal,” Whyte told Sky Sports. “He full on, two-handed pushed me. It wasn’t like a one-armed thing.
“Terrible job from the referee there, but it is, what it is. I should have had time to recover, time to go back to my corner, but Tyson Fury gets away with a lot of things.
“He said he would retire. I hope he doesn’t retire because I want another go.”
Whyte is disappointed and that’s understandable. But he needs a reality check. He got away with just as many dirty tricks as Fury and after the knock down he was on queer street and almost fell over the ref. So the referee made the only right call when he stopped the fight.
I agree with the stoppage. A lot of times I do not. For example the Francisco Vargas Valenzuela fight on the Spence Ugas under card the previous week. Yes Vargas went down hard but the ref did not bother to count he just waved it off! It was only the first round, no beaten had taken place and Vargas is a known warrior. At least see if he will get up and then assess. This is what the ref did with Whyte, he gave him the chance to get up and then he assessed. Whyte was stumbling around so he stopped the fight. If that is what had happened with Vargas I would not complain. I find when promoters are trying to sell a new guy these type of stoppages often happen and it bothers me when announcers do not even at least question it. Sorry I know this is about Whyte and Fury but I never had the chance to vent my feelings about the Vargas fight so I threw that in. LOL!
That was a good stoppage on Vargas too. First off if your head bounces off the canvas you are more than likely to sustain a concussion. His eyes said all that is needed to know and his eyes rolled behind his head. Whyte got up hurt and wheeled across the ring that was an easy call.
Thanks for your approval
Maybe I need to watch the fight again.
What I thought I saw was Fury putting him down with an UC , Whyte just about getting to his feet and then stumble across the ring
John, he actually did do a full two gloved push, but imo, Whyte was out prior to hitting the canvas.
I’ve seen at least one fight where it looked like the canvas had little give and after a fighter’s head bounced his eyes went blank, but that didn’t appear to be the case here. (I believe the KO victim I’m thinking of was Cornelus Boza Edward’s. Knocked down, head bounced and THEN the lights seemed to go out )
He was out on his feet from the uppercut-In fact if he didn’t get pushed he would have been a sitting incapacitated duck and might have gotten really hurt—He. Couldn’t keep his balance -I think the push was what it was but had no bearing on the ending at hand
That’s what I saw. Whyte rose, but stumbled as the referee was assessing whether he could continue. Whyte beat the count. Hence. TKO.
This Whyte is a delusional ungrateful rat POS. He is in fact lucky that the ref spared his sorry ass miserable life..
I used similar words to describe Whyte on another website. He is a sick person.
What’s your problem, sounds like you’re the one with a miserable life.
Another go at what? Fury? He must still be buzzed. He landed 29 punches in 6 rounds. He’s off to gatekeepersville.
Nothing out of the ordinary for any victim in a loss to point out all the “what ifs” and “should haves” after a fight was stopped. Personally, let’s move on to bigger and better things now this fight is over. Whyte should be happy with his paycheck and move on in life. Whyte is a good fighter, but he was not a threat to Fury in this recent matchup so it’s time to look forward to future matchups.
Please look at the recording and also please get a brain scan. I also suggest putting that 7mil to work; stocks, crypto, Commodities, Emergency fund, savings, simple checking, dividend reinvestment for next generation.
He just sounds like a sore loser. Like he watched the tape of the fight looking for SOMETHING to explain it away. Hopefully with some time he can come to accept it because there is no way he is ever getting that rematch.
Piece of shit. Fuck the acronyms. Spell it out motherfuckers.
In reading online comments a few people initially thought it was a push that put Whyte down. It must’ve been the angle of the camera because What I saw was a crisp clean upercut and Whyte went down hard.
I didn’t see a push but like I said a few people online thought it was a push. Maybe Whyte read similar comments and is using it to grasp at straws?
Overall a fair to middling fight at times a bit sloppy BUT a very clean one punch k.o. finish.
You need to look at some other angles. There definitely WAS a shove. A completely normal attempt by Fury to create space. And Whyte was so dazed from the shot he took that the shove put him down.
Was it a foul? No.
Should the fight have continued? No.
Should Whyte have been given “time to recover?” No, because the damage was caused by the punch, not the shove.
Phil, there was a solid uppercut that landed. Whyte was falling towards Fury. Fury did push him away, but not downward. I believe Fury pushed him out of instinct. Had he dodged to the side, Whyte would have fallen on his face. He was pushed, yes, but he went down because of the punch.
He would’ve killed you man, what’s wrong with you???
I wouldn’t call that push a foul but it was anti climatic and a sloppy sh*t finish. Would’ve been more pleasing to the eye to follow up with punches after he got badly staggered.
Whyte was buzzed by a push lay of the ‘kush …
Almost as lame as Wilder complaining about his heavy costume in the 2nd fight. Total douche, should never get another title shot
he is ok now. Nuff said.
Lol maybe Dillian still can’t see thru “All the Smoke”!
Excuses, only excuses, he was outboxed the most if the fight, and was knocked out via uppercut (Like vs Joshua and Povetkin). For your performance you deserve as much a 10% of your purse, and I don’t think you are going to get that in your next fight.
He was, in my opinion, outboxed in every round except the first. He came out southpaw, which I think made Fury a little cautious. I don’t remember Fury throwing or landing anything in the first round, so I scored it for Whyte. After that, Whyte never landed much of anything, let along significant. Fury was patient and landed enough clean shots to win the rest of the rounds. Little on offer in terms of drama until the finishing blow.
The only recovery he needed was the recovery from getting his ass kicked.
his shoulder and back hit the canvas first. His head didn’t hit hard against the canvas
Whyte had many round to impose his will, and he simply didn’t have the talent, the ability, or the capacity to do so. This was no match and both he and Fury knew going in that Whyte had no chance. Fury disgusts me because he’s so pathetic, overrated, and overhyped. His beating Whyte was akin to Gerry Cooney beating Charlie Polite. The bald-headed giraffe with the lumberjack beard, who punches and moves like a puppet on a string then has the nerve to declare himself the greatest. Unbelievably absurd times were are living in. Anyone over 50 knows what I’m talking about.
Sorry Whyte. You had your opportunity and couldn’t capitalize. Time to retire. Making $7.4 million for this fight is about all you can hope for with you severe limitations.
lol what time?
How long did you need, several minutes? Dillian, you were staggering all over the ring and would have been brutally knocked out by Fury had the fight been allowed to continue.
He was out on his feet! One more blow and he could’ve been in a coma! Exellent job by the referee!
Here comes the excuses. We all know they was coming
“I was buzzed but obviously I was trying to regather my senses and he proper pushed me and I fell over and hit my head on the canvas which is illegal,”
An absolute load of crap, just like one in his trunks after he took that uppercut on the chin. If not for Wilder’s “my heavy costume wore my legs out on the way to the ring” comment, Whyte’s would have been the worst excuse ever. Not always easy to come to grips with losing, but damn, there was virtually no path to victory for him here. Just give Fury credit and move on…
100% Nonsense
He sounds like Solis after Vitali KO’d him in the first round.
When are these guys going to learn to lose with class.. Its a fight, not a tickling contest FFS. You got knocked out with a peach of an uppercut, could hardly stand on your own so the ref stopped it.Deal with it and stop making excuses.
He pushed him. He could have hooked him. I’d have preferred the push. He should be grateful.
Dillian get a head scan, you are still concused,
count your millions and count yourself lucky,
definetley not robbed
time: 2:59 in round 6 the fight was stopped. So yes, had Whyte been given 1 more second he would have got out of round 6, but then round 7 would have been dropped/stopped for sure.
Whyte was swinging like a toughman contest contestant! Terrible boxing skills. I never was impressed with his boxing. He got schooled & lost fair n square.
Watching the fight live the shove looked worse than the glancing hit. I actually thought he went down because of the shove. After watching replays it was still a glancing shot, but he would have gone down. Most boxers do push off when they land a hit. It keeps the other guy from holding on, but it did look bad live. Either way he was not ready after ten so its just time to start back up the ladder. Hopefully he goes after anything other than the WBC this time.
clear victory for fury no excuses whyte should hang up the gloves find another occupation
– I re-watched the “highlights”.
– Good thing I didn’t spend any $$ on this event.
– I saw the push after the uppercut KO punch landed.
– Denied, Mr, Whyte, denied…….
White just want another $8mio payday -:)
Whyte, the ref possibly saved you from eating from a straw in a wheel chair the rest of your life. Enjoy your money.
Absolute BOLLOCKS Dillon ,you were in the land of the “inbetween” and the ref made the correct call. Just be humble and accept you got clobbered by the uppercut which is your Achilles heel!!!!
