Referring to Whittaker’s appearance in Saudi Arabia, Sky Sports Nelson expert believes that the Olympic Silver Medal “neglected what he does so well,” but supports the new coach Lee to perform the best of the 27-year-old.

Nelson told Sky Sports: “I’m quite sure Andy Lee told him,” You have an incredible talent, be sure to make it as much as you can. “

Elvis ‘Soldier’ Ahorgan stole a show at the Whittaker V Cameron 2 press conference with other passionate speech
“The performance I saw in Saudi from Ben, Hi was like …” It’s a finished job, I’ll stole the show ‘and he neglected what he does so well.
“He neglected this, and doing it almost paid the price. Because of this he was humiliated and therefore mentally must stay on the point, so he does not happen again, because if he comes to Sunday night and he starts to get incredible victories, which prevents him from developing amnesia and is working again at a higher level?
“So, if that happened, it is better for it to happen now than later a line when it comes to a lot more.”

Macklin: Whittaker can handle a rematch pressure
Sky Sports expert, Matthew Macklin, believes that Whittaker will endure high expectations on his shoulders ahead of the remains with high roles.
“I think there was an element that was underestimated (Cameron). I think he might have been overly trained or made a little mistake,” Macklin said.
“He was pretty tired quite quickly, he really revealed himself – which was alarming.
“I don’t think that would happen in this fight. I think they’ll have the right amount of fear, the right amount of nerves. The pressure will bring it.
“In many ways, his career is in line in terms of what he has projected to continue and achieve, to be a star.
“That’s right here.”
