Rewind to October, and Ben Whitaker was “uncovered” in his combat with Liam Cameron, the flashy, cocksure Whitaker being carried out of the ring and out of the combat, this after each males took a tumble excessive rope when wrestling in a clinch. Whitaker injured his ankle, but the critics – his ring rival Cameron firmly amongst them – mentioned Whitaker took the straightforward manner out, this in a combat that was starting to get too robust for him. Ultimately, the ultimate resolution was a technical draw.
Some have in contrast Whitaker to Naseem Hamed due to his showboating strikes and angle within the ring. Whitaker is aware of he must get again in with Cameron to place issues proper and show that, sure, he can deal with a tricky combat and are available by to win.
Cameron mentioned Whitaker would have been stopped had the combat continued. Now, Whitaker says that the rematch should occur so he can “proper the flawed.” Cameron has doubts that Whitaker will truly combat him a second time, however Whitaker says he completely will field him once more.
“I would like it. I feel it’s the appropriate subsequent factor,” Whitaker mentioned to Sky Sports activities. “I don’t make excuses – I went to the Olympics with a torn rotator cuff, and nobody heard me point out it earlier than, nobody actually heard me point out it after, so I’m not going to begin [saying] ‘Oh, my ankle.’ It occurs. I couldn’t proceed, however after I go and beat him within the subsequent combat, I’ll have quite a bit to say then.”
If it occurs, the rematch might be a far greater combat than the primary bout, and Whitaker, 8-0-1(5), has all of it to show this time. Cameron, 23-6-1(10), who has shared a hoop with some confirmed gentle heavyweights, feels Whitaker needed a manner out and located one. Whitaker says he did endure a painful damage because of the spill from the ring.
Hopefully, this combat will occur someday within the first half of subsequent 12 months. Name it unfinished enterprise, or name it repeat or revenge, however the combat has to occur. Till he does proper this flawed, if he can, in truth, accomplish that, the reminiscence of the October combat with Cameron will proceed to hang-out Whitaker, fueling his critics.
Who wins, and the way, if/when Whitaker and Cameron meet once more?
