    Let's go. Itauma cuts him, Vitali injures his shoulder swinging at air trying to get to him, and then quits. Itauma by TKO6.

    Kirk Johnson is the only example against this argument.

    But even then Kirk Johnson was grossly out of shape 260 pounds which was his career highest weight.

    Even Larry Merchant said after the KO.

    "That whale got harpooned"

    So whilst Johnson is a solid name the shape he was actually in does take some shine off the win.

    The same thread was made for Foreman also.

    The Itauma hype is so embarrassing.. British fans make me cringe.. & I'm British, they never learn.. Jermaine Franklin is an obese feather fist who has had just one other stoppage win since his 2018 stoppage of no hoper Ed Fountain.. how on earth can anyone extrapolate a victory over him means he beats an iron chinned behemoth like Vitali? Ye so he pushed Joshua & Whyte .. they're both used goods though.. both are pretty near shot.. This was a gimme for Itauma..

    No reason to think this version of Itauma would beat that version of Vit. Give the kid a chance to grow.

    Kirk Johnson was almost a stone fatter than in any other career fight of his career, including his last one 6.5 years later. He came to pick up a payday and fall over.
