    You're proving me true, unconsciously. They're trying to create a new Mike Tyson.

    Both Paul and Itauma are fighting in rigged matches.

    I don't have all night to bicker about this, you are literally comparing Moses Itauma, a skilled young boxer to a guy who is an infamous social media influencer, all because you cannot get over the idea of a young HW prospect being as skilled as people have said he is for the past few years.

    I don't think arguing with stupid comparisons like Moses being the same as Jake is worth it and you're proving the point that certain boxing fans can be some of the stupidest sports fans ever

    The absence of his well known "wolf howl" on the ring walk was a little telling.....

    ....like a man who knew he was going to lose and the odds were massively stacked against him

    I will say this now; last night's version of Itauma beats ANY version of Whyte.

    Or maybe you're just too naive.

    Imagine thinking a shot to bits Whyte (who got 1 punch KO'd by pillow fist Fury) had any sort of chance against a much faster guy who is better at literally everything and packs plenty of power.

    No, not a dive imo ( he did beat the count rather easily )

    Hate watching is a thing. There's an entire genre of YouTube video dedicated to watching TV shows and movies, then hating on them. They make videos in advance about how horrible the show will be, then they watch the show, then they make a video about how terrible it was and about how the studio is doomed, and their comment section is full of people complaining about the show.

    I don't get that. I don't watch things I don't like. No need to **** on other people's fun.

    I checked out some tape of Whyte vs AJ, and he basically looks the same. Awful balance, reflexes, sloppy, bad defense. That's how Whyte has always been lol. Looked no different to the current version. Moses does the same thing to any version of whyte.

    Obviously not a dive it was just very clever matchmaking. Like @UnleashtheFURY pointed out in the RBR there was no huge power shot it was mainly glancing blows and they were still enough to badly hurt Whyte because his chin is completely gone. Whyte's other losses he was sparked brutally by Povetkin and Fury with one power shot. Before that he took a beating and a barrage of power shots from AJ before the final uppercut.

    Yeah I know about people who hate watch movie and tv shows but i do not understand someone doing it without any financial incentive, like there is no money to be made out of saying that Moses Itauma is another Jake Paul on a boxing message board so i'm just going to just assume that guy who did those comparisons earlier is a troll trying to get attention on this thread.

    Just my two cents.

    Why haven't we figured out a way to land on the moon again in over a half a century ?
    The answer is on Von Braun's tombstone
    Keep taking your boosters and making fun of conspiracy theorists
    They are up 37-0

    Open up your minds a little

    the only thing the majority on this thread can see (not including me and a couple others) are OBEY

    so do and think as your told and OBEY
