Can people not lose weight or get into shape without gear these days? lmao I must have genetic powers then...
Backing whyte for a stoppage. Whyte appears to be highly motivated, angry, measured, calculated and packing a lot of wisdom from many big battles at the top level. He'll be bringing all that into the ring along with his memories of being KOd by three sweet uppercuts in his career to hopefully avoid getting caught by shots like that again and instead closing the show early knowing that he doesnt get paid overtime and that he let fights like the Franklin one drag on too long. I like backing the underdog always and going against the narrative. I see a path to victory for both fighters and its an interesting match up. But no matter what happens big respect for whyte for continually taking on whatever challenge presents it self as Okolie and Chisora said No.
He has failed 4 tests that we know about in his career. Including one where he failed a test pre-fight then got a journalist to accuse his opponent of failing a test to create a smoke screen. It would be surprise if his weight loss and enhanced condition was achieved completely naturally at this point. Lets be real here.
Spot on. Even prime Whyte had his issues. Surely Itauma is too smart to let Whyte catch him with left hook punchers chance.
Whyte could give it a good go early, provided Itauma doesn't land an uppercut. Itauma may gas down the stretch, Whyte we know WILL gas down the stretch. I could see a stoppage win at anytime for Itauma. Whyte needs to hurt Itauma to slow him down early to have any real shot at the upset.
And what... Joseph Parker was dumb for getting caught with a hook from Whyte??? Parker started boxing at 10 years old. So how did he get caught with it then?' What about Oscar Rivas? Anthony Joshua?? Olympic Gold medallist? How did they all get caught with whytes hook? Blind luck? Did lightning strike three times?
... that professional athletes with access to a gym and three personal trainers, and a chef can't get into shape or lose weight without PEDs? Oh okay. I should write a book then and make millions. I have no personal trainer, I dont have a chef, I've got access to a gym. And I can get into shape and lose weight. So can my next door neighbour. My colleague at work who just turned 50.
As unproven as Itauma is, he should get a highlight reel KO here around mid-rounds, as long as there's strict drug testing.
Turki has big plans for Itauma. He will be hyped liked hell until he faces Usyk. Probably they will feed Itauma well known veterans like Whyte, Chisora, Zhang, Miller, and his hype will be over the roof. Of course, most of these fights will probably be fixed.
The only question I have is... If it's all about hyping someone up for attention and/or profit, then why isn't it someone with a personality?!
