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

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.

 

This is what the cynics seem to be ignoring. Whyte regardless of how shot you think he is, did not give Moses incredible speed, timing accuracy and punch selection with power.. That is really something you are born with and is deadly at HW. When did we last see that package?

 

Probably going to get a shot at Parker next.

 

Anyone else think that this could have been a big total bluff and total cash out from , Whyte?.


His OTT coyness and self depreciation in the build up having a genuine single deep down meaning, to him, rather than the double one that was successfully perceived by most?...



Has Mr Whyte done a number on us?...

 

There was this short dude back in the 80's. Kid something or other? Think he was discovered by some guy named Custard? Custer? Something like that.

 

Whyte is 6'2 and Moses was at least 2 inches taller which surprised me because I always thought he looked like a stocky 6 footer. His has the proportions of an average dude, soft body yet fast twitch punches.
