Moses Itauma vs. Dillian Whyte & Filip Hrgović vs. David Adeleye + Nick Ball vs. Sam Goodman RBR.

That should be the last time Whyte ever steps into a ring.

 

If he was younger sure, but his punch resistance seems to have gone. Would have just ended in further punishment.

 

I don't know much you can put into that performance considering Whyte hasn't been relevant for years and is past it.

But the speed/power/technique is very impressive definitely one of the most impressive looking Heavyweights in recent years.

 

This fight doesn’t really prove much

 

This is why Usyk & Fury need to retire soon.

Can happen overnight

 

The accuracy, the speed, the power, the agility. I've never seen anything like it before

 

Maybe hrgovic next someone with a actual chin?

 

...how bad is your lag?

 

To the 32% of people that picked Whyte in that DAZN poll.

I am laughing at you right now

 

Hrgovic should definitely refuse to fight Itauma if he is offered the fight...

 

The Future Is Now!...

 

It was no secret that I thought that this was a step too far from Itauma going straight from a good journeyman in Balogun to a seasoned vet/fringe contender in Whyte. Some fighters not even as good as Whyte in Bakole, Allen, Thompson, Joyce have beaten hype jobs before and I thought Itauma would take the step too early here.


However, I put my hands up. This was really a truly excellent win for Itauma, and beating well proven fighters such as Whyte proves that you are a very talented fighter and we have a huge prospect on our hands.


I’m really excited about Itauma in the future, this guy has certainly got incredible potential as a fighter. He may have more questions to answer in terms of stamina, chin, etc but he has answered convincingly the biggest question of all - a certain standard of opposition.


The only thing I’ll say is that I don’t think he is ready for the literal final boss in boxing - Usyk still. But, Kabayel, Dubois, Wardley - if you are capable of beating Whyte, you are capable of fighting seasoned vets to contenders.


I take my hat off to Itauma. That was incredible, I was proven wrong here and I am very impressed.

 

Only thing would have happened was Ituama swarming him and knocking him down even worse. That was a good stoppage.
