Ben Whittaker Vs. Braian Suarez Predictions – ‘He Makes A Statement'

Ben Whittaker takes on light heavyweight Braian Nahuel Suarez on Saturday, as fans picked their winner. 

Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn has already teased a U.S. debut for Whittaker in June at the Barclays Center. However, that plan is strictly contingent on Whittaker emerging with a win. Whittaker enters this bout with massive momentum, having stopped Benjamin Gavazi with a clinical first-round technical knockout. While Whittaker is the favorite, Braian Suarez is a statistical nightmare for any defensive lapse. With 20 knockouts in 21 victories, the Argentinian possesses genuine equalizer power.

Pre-Fight

“Ben Whittaker fights Suarez, who’s a big power puncher. This is a big moment for Ben, a big run, because if he’s successful on Saturday, he’ll go on the Boots against Xander card for his American debut at the Barclays Center. "It would be huge for him, so he must win on Saturday," Eddie Hearn said

"The first fight with Cameron was what I needed. It saved my career because I was a little lost; I was a train crash waiting to happen. It reminded me that boxing was real, and I needed that reminder at that time. The move to Andy was exactly what I needed at the right time. I was getting a bit carried away. All I needed was a ring and a bag. When I started, the amateur club was in a school and there was not even a ring," Whittaker stated
