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

I can't get over the hype behind Itauma. Who has he fought? Whyte is the biggest name but he is shot. He may prove to be a champion but at this stage he has a long way to go. He is a legitimate contender.

 

As you know I'm not really a fan of the modern Heavyweights I think they're too big and slow aside from Usyk who is a throwback.

But Itauma has the flexibility, speed, technique, where he doesn't look like the usual slower plodding Heavyweights you see now.

Obviously we have to see his chin and heart tested but he certainly looks the part!!!!

 

Still can’t believe most people aren’t seeing what’s going on with itauma. Roger mayweather had a famous saying.

 

There's a pic of him next to Fury that makes him look taller than Usyk. I think he might be legitimately 6'4".

 

It's like when Price crushed Audley Harrison. Doesn't mean anything at all. Wait until he fights a live opponent that's in there to win.

 

Uhh the eye test?

 

Tbf, Punch timing and delivery, that was perfection.



AND it left career lasting damage...

 

Itauma is unbelievably quick. To my eyes it looks like bivol's handspeed and though his body is heavier he is pretty quick on his feet, too.

And if I could choose to have any current heavyweight's offense I would choose Itauma's. Engaging and disengaging, noncommital lightning quick punches, good precision, good eyes for the opponent's counter attack, very fast twitch offensive defense (he instantly reacted to whyte's showing of the left hook right before he didn't finish it and fell to the floor) and very quick to pull the trigger.

I still want to see him defend, though and learn to pace himself over 12 rounds. Usyk is still too early. If he would beat hrgovic in a longer fight or something like that I would say he is the most interesting opponent for Usyk. The sky's the limit. The talent is unbelievable. He is like 113kg and looks like 100kg and light on his feet like a middleweight.

 

Whyte was better than Audley, but yeah it is pretty comparable lol.

 

He should book another fight immediately, don't waste this camp. Did he even get hit? He could fight again like next week. Maybe set up a 1v5 night like Foreman did, try to give him some rounds? lol

 

I'm boarding the hype train :-D

 

Let him fight okolie. No real danger from him and difficult to end it early with all the pushing and grabbing :-D

 

Yes you have. 80s Mike Tyson.
