    It wouldn't be a question whether Itauma would beat Sanchez, instead how quickly he'll be able to do so.

    I can see Sanchez at least giving Itauma some rounds.

    Good step up fight, Sanchez should definitely ask some questions of Itauma but I see Itauma overwhelming Sanchez and stopping him inside 6 rounds.

    Great fight to make after Sanchez vs Ajagba collapsed.

    think Sanchez will give him a few rounds, but he won't last long...

    I see no reason to elevate Itauma over someone like Sanchez at this time.

    People have got to learn to "hold their horses". Itauma beat up Dillian Whyte who even at his peak was one of the more overrated HWs in recent memory. If he wasn't Tyson Fury and AJ would have never fought him. Lets postpone the coronation to a later date.

    Picked Sanchez just for the lols. I want to seem him dance around to see how Itauma handles someone who can move.

    Could test Itauma's gas tank and mentality because he has previously looked frustrated when he can't KO an opponent quickly.

    Realistically I think Sanchez is probably a bit washed and slower than he used to be and tries to dance like he used to for a couple rounds before getting caught.

    But we have seen a lot of young KO artists who look great coming up struggle to cut of the ring and get frustrated against a cagey opponent so who knows.

    Why is Itauma being so overrated. I can easily see Frank winning this. Of course he might be damaged goods after Kabayel but Kabayels style is nothing like Itaumas.

    I think Sanchez gets blown away. I don't think there is a real test until Usyk but it will be a giant leap.

    Sanchez is far too lazy, he'll get blown away in the first round.

    I agree Itauma is overrated to some extent, but he did beat Whyte inside a round - in which it is a better win than any win Sanchez has.

    Sanchez just really isn't that good to be honest.

    Yeah no, a prime Ajagba is better than 96 year old Whyte who was never good to begin with. Sanchez would give Itauma hell. This dude is blasting out bums and old men and yall are jerking him off. Remember Berlanga? Now I do think he’s better than Berlanga but he’s not that guy that will just ice Frank Sanchez, unless Frank fell off hard.

    Whyte beat some very good fighters. What has Ajagba even proven apart from being a mediocre gatekeeper at best?

    I can see Sanchez giving Itauma rounds but he’ll get overpowered eventually. Itauma is far better than Ajagba.

    Berlanga is really not a good comparison for Itauma. He was promoted well because he had a big mouth and a strong Puerto Rico following. He genuinely struggled against journeymen unlike Itauma.

    A shot 41 year old knocked him unconscious about 3-4 years ago.

    Itauma will destroy him easily.
