Moses Itauma

He's back on December 1. I presume he'll next fight on the Fury vs Usyk card on February 17. No opponent announced yet unfortunately. I think it may be a step-down compared to some of his previous opponents which have been extremely good. I wouldn't be surprised if he fights Solomon Dacres sometime next year.

 

Sounds about right. Going on Dacres's showing last week, I suspect young Moses might be waiting a bit longer for more rounds. Time for him to step up soon surely? Good to see a young fighter keeping busy though.

 

Id say going on that showing, he'd beat Dacres next fight. But he wont. Most of his opponents so far have been around the same level.
Re him keeping busy id look for him being busy until him getting to a higher standard. Then hell go to 3 fights a year . Guessing that will be around 2025.
Ive a feeling he could be injury prone. Just a feeling that I hope is wrong.

 

I wouldn't say Clarke was a bum. Hutchinson is decent but no world beater.
Hughie is a fringe contender, possibly top 20 in the world at his best.
But I know what you're getting at. There's not much nationwide coverage of amateur boxing these days. At one time it was in TV every week and the ABAs every year. Guys talk about what they've done but it's never really proved. Also theres lots of talk about who Itauma is sparring. Means very little.

 

Don't know but it seems like Adam Azim has a weak chin like his brother. It's in their genes

Sport just isn't covered the way it used to be. Niche sport is now big business as it fills up pay channels. There's no real place like Grandstand or World of Sport to fill up cheap time on the BBC, unless it ticks a box (and sport doesn't work for the media grads running most channels).

It's a shame as boxing is entertaining and cheap to put on TV.

 

LOL putting an Azim in the same sentence as the great Oleksandr Usyk, That's hilarious.

I highly doubt Adam has a good chin.

 

only my most recent ones are because I'm replying to the most cringe, desperate, annoying superfan - YOU.
