    Itauma as of now has a far better record than Teremoana.

    Teremoana does seem a heavy enough puncher but he has only beaten the likes of part-timers (not even journeymen level fighters) in a retired Bowie Tupou to Aleem Whitfeld...

    Hamzah is actually horrific. He is probably the biggest cherry picker in boxing currently.

    Yes, it's time Teremoana started fighting decent journeymen - his opposition has been very weak. He looks good, but why won't they put him in with better opponents, for example a Jonathan Rice or Brandon Moore level guy?

    He looks good but its concerning how slow he is being moved...something is a miss that we dont know about.

    Couldn't agree more.

    Hes fighting a part-timer next week in DeAndre Savage, but especially at 28 - he needs to step up the opposition considering Savage is ranked 273rd WW.

    Wouldn't mind seeing him against an Adeleye or Prenga next.

    11-0 with 11 KO's, 10 inside the first round, Olympic pedigree, pro debut in 2021 and yet he is fighting such an abysmal level of opponents. I think he looks dangerous but its easy looking good against scrubs. Adeleye would be a good fight but judging by his current matchmaking...its not likely to happen for another 18 months.

    In fairness to Olaniyan it was his first senior fight and McDonagh is no joke.

    Another one to keep an eye on is Patrick O'Connor, American born Irish Gypsy, both parents Irish, he won US nationals at Heavy, 3-0 as a pro and fights this weekend in Dublin on the Zuffa show.

    Yeah but Mcdonagh is young himself, 23, just 3 years older than Olaniyan. And he'd only started boxing a few years previous (Olaniyan started boxing when he was 7)

    Warren should really have signed them both.

    McDonagh been training since he was a kid though, only boxed in the ring a few years alright but plenty of experiance..
