Fury should win easy, Whyte's too flat footed.

The friendly and courteous exchanges between Fury and Whyte was a refreshing change. They both showed how professionals should act - well done to both lads.

I’m buying the PPV but I’m still peeved by the terrible undercard which is the worst I’ve seen on such a big event.

I’m glad there’s no BBBofC judges as the Taylor vs Catterall fight showed they can’t be trusted.

I wouldn’t have had BBBofC referee, Mark Lyson, either as I don’t think he’s up to refereeing a world title fight - this is the ref who counted out Charlie Edwards after Martinez smashed him while on the floor taking a knee - Lyson claimed not to have seen the offending punch so his eyesight has got to be very poor.

It took an on the spot decision by Mauricio Sulaiman, who was luckily there, to overrule the referee and declare it a no contest and that there would have to be a rematch.

The rematch didn’t happen as Edwards moved up because of problems making the weight but the whole debacle didn’t reflect well on Lyson and I’ve questioned his competence ever since.
