[Boxing- UK] 26.11/ 23:00 D.Whyte- J.Franklin

[xavi90]

On paper, Dillian Whyte should have too much experience for Jermaine Franklin, but there are other intangibles to consider.

Whyte, 35, has been campaigning at top level for over six years and has become a popular attraction due to his willingness to mix up. The downside is that the gutsy Londoner has absorbed a lot of punishment from the likes of Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Derek Chisora, Joseph Parker, and Alexander Povetkin.

At 6-foot-2 and roughly 240 pounds, Franklin will not be dwarfed by Whyte, who only holds slight edges in height and reach. The Michigan-based contender has quick hands and feet for a man of his size, and his punch variety is impressive. While Franklin can fight inside, he’d do well to keep Whyte on the end of his shots and maintain distance.

If Whyte is at his best, then you have to favour him to prevail. Franklin has had one fight in three years and that’s sure to catch up with him in a long, destructive war. However, Franklin does possess the attributes to give Whyte trouble, so the home fighter cannot afford to look past him.

Each of Whyte's last three fights were stopped short in the sixth round or sooner. Expect Whyte to prevail and make it four straight within the distance.
