    I’m too old for these Broadway productions they call ring walks—give me Tyson with a hole in a towel for a robe, stomping down to the ring like pure anarchy any day.

    Nobody sensible unfortunately.

    I could potentially see Whyte old-manning Itauma by countering him under pressure. He could be chinny, he could have a shoddy gas tank.

    These feel like long odds though. From what we've seen Itauma is slick, quick, powerful, and he's young and determined. Whyte on the other hand is chinny and does have a suspect gas tank.

    His beard is helping. Trust me, I know these things -- I've got a solid beard too, had it by age 16 or so. Was able to walk into gas stations and buy beer by age 17-18 without being carded.

    Whyte already in his head. Taking his time with the ring walk. Moses Itauma is mad.

    I can't see it personally, but I think Whyte does his gatekeeper job if he can at least chin-check the young pup. And I think regardless of anything Whyte has enough pride that he will want to do at least that; I'm not sure Whyte will last long enough to drag Moses into deep waters, but i'd love to see it and get a better idea of what Itauma can handle

    It's a growing distaste on my part. I've never liked them, but they get on my tits more and more.

    It's particularly irritating in the context of a fight between one guy who is unproven at top level and one guy who is potentially washed.
