Ben Whittaker vs. Conor Wallace: Prediction
My prediction is a TKO/KO victory for Whittaker over Wallace because he’s the more athletic and explosive boxer. Although both have incredible power, Whittaker’s athleticism and explosiveness will help him land first in exchanges.
Wallace is a forward-pressure fighter who likes to push his opponent’s back against the ropes, and Whittaker has struggled with that style before. But now, he’s solved this by pivoting and moving side to side while probing with stiff jabs.
If Wallace can’t sustain the pressure for 12 rounds, it would be another dominant win for Whittaker, as his power punches and combinations will find the mark once Wallace backs up and fades in the later rounds.
