Liam Cameron urged Ben Whittaker over the decision that their heavy weight match attacked during 10 laps when the couple went to their heads during the public training.
As the couple faced on Thursday in Birmingham, before their match on Sunday, Cameron said Sky Sports“If Whittaker was so confident, he called my bluff and said,” I’ll fight you with 12 wheels “. But no, right? ”
The competing camps were blocked in a row throughout the duration of the fight, revealing Cameron that he initially signed a 12-year struggle, although their first competition was 10.
The first Whittaker and Cameron competition ended early in October and controversial when they got out of the ring in the fifth round.
Whittaker, the Olympic silver medalist in Tokyo, was injured and could not continue. The result therefore went to Scorecards and a technical draw was determined.
With their retaliation finally confirmed on Thursday as a 10-year competition, Sky Sports’ Matt Macklin believes that Cameron may have hit an early psychological blow.
“Cameron wanted 12 because he was 12 laps,” Macklin said. “It is a generally slower starter and his tactics will try to wear Ben Whittaker down, get him to work hard than the door soon wants – and that will catch up in the second half.
“It is basically how the first fight happened, and that is what must try to do again.
“The longer the fight fights, the better for him will want these other rounds, because in a fight where it is difficult – let’s say it is the eighth round – you can see the light at the end of the tunnel with only two wheels left, and you can hang a little there.
“Psychologically, if I were Cameron, the fact that they didn’t want to do 12 laps would seem like 1-0.”
