Ben Whittaker vs Conor Wallace | FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS
DAZN Boxing posted the highlights of Ben Whittaker against Conor Wallace on Saturday, and by Sunday the reel had gone past a million views. For a channel whose new videos usually spend their first day in the tens of thousands, that is a different kind of weekend.
What really stands out is underneath the video. Comments arrived around eighty times faster than on the channel's usual first day, and most of them are about the man in the middle of the ring. Viewer after viewer replays the same stretches: moments when, they say, Whittaker went down and no count followed, and clinches they believe should have cost him a point for holding. Others play on his ring name, "The Surgeon," and plenty have already moved on to Dmitry Bivol, asking how Whittaker would cope with the Russian light heavyweight.
The channel kept the conversation going. The full card highlights did well too, but the two follow-ups say more about the mood. In one, Whittaker insists he was never really hurt and calls the fight too easy. In the other, Tony Bellew, the former cruiserweight world champion, gives his own verdict in the title: "HE GOT AWAY WITH IT." Bellew's reaction also turns to that possible Bivol fight, the same name the comment section keeps coming back to.
The rest of the channel's weekend was already pointing ahead to Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley's rematch on October 17, but for now it is Whittaker's rounds that viewers keep rewinding.
