Usyk vs. Itauma

I listed the facts. None of those fighters have fought and ran through Whyte like that. Nobody has ever ran through whyte like that. Believing the Povetkin fight where he was getting schooled until he caught whyte with a lotto punch was in anyway comparable to this fight shows your low boxing IQ. Claiming Whyte is shot is also speculation. He only lost to top level fighters.

 

Won't be for undisputed though, and I doubt Usyk takes the fight unless there's some serious money in it for him

 

If Turki is involved, it means it will be a big payday. Usyk will accept it. And it will be for the undisputed title, otherwise why would Turki be interested in it?

 

Nobody has ever run through Whyte like that, as ONLY Itauma has fought that sad shell of a fighter - who was at very best a gatekeeper-level fighter anyway. Obviously impossible to prove but if any of the top 10 fought the Whyte from last night it would have ended similarly.

 

You're the Dunning-Kruger effect in the flesh. Is there anyone here on this forum who agrees with you that Whyte is a Top 10 level guy at this point? Literally anyone.

Hell, go on YouTube right now and every boxing channel is discussing how shot Whyte is and how embarrassing that performance was from him and how he should absolutely retire right now. But hey, they're all low boxing IQ people, too, I suppose. Saw multiple ACTUAL boxers, including guys in the HoF, saying the same. Everyone is an idiot except for tarrant. Who knew?

 

Because Parker is the WBO mandatory and Usyk would have to drop the belt.

Thus it won't be for the undisputed.

 

Happy to see Hrgovic fight Ituama,but still will be a short fight,maybe 2 or 3 rounds.

 

Of course nobody will agree after he got destroyed, the question is how many thought he was shot before the fight. The Dazn pre fight poll had 32% picking whyte. You are engaging in revisionism, google it. You seem the type to say any fighter that gets destroyed must be shot. Poor logic.

Pre fight Whyte was +550 betting odds. Not good but not awful. Most of Canelo's opponents are +400 for example.

 

Very difficult to call this one.

He is not going to get a step change fight above Whyte, as lets face it the likes of AJ and Fury are likely to **** themselves before they face Itauma.

Therefore he really just needs to be chucked in at the deep end, to see how he does. No one really knows how he does against Usyk, he could beat Usyk. But we do not have any reference point for that.

 

At this stage Usyk but in the future who knows. Itauma is developing well.

 

Itauma makes young Daniel quit inside 3 rounds, and he stops Wardley in under 6 rounds. And if he does that to both of them, there will be people who will still say he is not ready and that he not really been tested or done enough rounds. That is why its a waste of time, just get him in with Usyk now. Its the only compelling challenger left for Usyk.

 

Damn near 40% of people think Andre Ward can beat AJ. People, including you, DKSAB.

Ain't this you? Ain't this you calling Wilder shot just because he got destroyed? Trying to run down a guy's opponents? Pot, meet kettle.

Honestly, I'm just confused by why you're trying to die on the "Whyte wasn't shot!" hill? Itauma is a prospect who is being fed guys to demolish. The last guy he boxed was an ex-NFL player who was 40+ and never got off the practice squad in his primary sport. These guys are there to make Moses look good. That's how boxing works. When you want to finally step your guy up to a legit challenge you always have a belt on the line. It doesn't have to be a legit world title, but it'll be an International belt or some such nonsense. Usually it'll be at least someone ranked near the Top 10.

Whyte had nothing. He offered nothing except his name. He got paid handsomely to show up and get blasted out. Looked disinterested and depressed the entire fight week. Never showed any lead in his pencil at any point. No howling. No pushing and shoving. Looked like he was on holiday with his missus when he'd rather have been back at home drinking a cold one on the couch. And then he went out and fought like it. His own trainer looked completely lackadaisical about the entire thing. McGirt said he didn't even watch tape on Moses!

Now that I think about it after reading your posts on this subject, I remember that I've got an offer for you. You see, I've got this ocean front property in Arizona I'm looking to sell. I think you would be the perfect guy for it. I'll get you an excellent price on it!

 

So are we thinking Turki puts up enough money to get Usyk to drop the WBO and face Itauma?

 

Itauma is still way to young, raw and inexperienced to be fighting Usyk. But he should fight AJ i think AJ is also shot to bits now and Moses absolutely banjo's him. I also still think Fury probably beats him by old manning him Fury is still probably the second best behind Usyk.
I think maybe also Kabayel beats him at this point but after that im struggling to see anyone else causing him problems.
Itauma should be looking to fight Bakole then AJ while we wait on Usyk vs Parker and Kabayel. I dont think Fury will be back now and Usyk may only fight Parker then retire.
Itauma has the time the others dont, why rush? He is a completely different generation to all these old men still hanging around like bad smells.
Itauma will have Richard Torrez, Jalolov and Dubois as his main rivals in the next few years although Dubois is a jacker so i think he will have his number.

 

Turki may promise Parker some big fight and step aside money. Money talks.
