Rewind to October, and Ben Whitaker was “uncovered” in his struggle with Liam Cameron, the flashy, cocksure Whitaker being carried out of the ring and out of the struggle, 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 – stated Whitaker took the simple manner out, this in a struggle that was starting to get too powerful for him. In the long run, the ultimate resolution was a technical draw.
Some have in contrast Whitaker to Naseem Hamed due to his showboating strikes and perspective 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 troublesome struggle and are available by means of to win.
Cameron stated Whitaker would have been stopped had the struggle continued. Now, Whitaker says that the rematch should occur so he can “proper the fallacious.” Cameron has doubts that Whitaker will really struggle him a second time, however Whitaker says he completely will field him once more.
“I would like it. I feel it’s the suitable subsequent factor,” Whitaker stated 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 struggle, I’ll have lots to say then.”
If it occurs, the rematch might be a far larger struggle 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 undergo a painful harm as a result of spill from the ring.
Hopefully, this struggle will occur someday within the first half of subsequent yr. Name it unfinished enterprise, or name it repeat or revenge, however the struggle has to occur. Till he does proper this fallacious, if he can, in truth, accomplish that, the reminiscence of the October struggle with Cameron will proceed to hang-out Whitaker, fueling his critics.
Who wins, and the way, if/when Whitaker and Cameron meet once more?
