Itauma is undefeated as an amateur and pro, and there is no blueprint available to beat him, but Jalolov has the blue print. He's limited but very accurate, rangy with KO power and he has faster feet than any other SHW around This content is protected
Question is will Jalaov ever step up, his last fight was against a Butterbean look a like. I also wonder how he will adapt to the pro game, he still fights like an amateur.
This isn't that outlandish but Jalolov is moving that slowly Hrgovic looks like hes been rushed in comparison.
Itauma only has 24 amateur fights against no one of note and possibly manufactured his record due to starting boxing late.
I can't understand why Turki isn't throwing big money at these new generation of heavyweight prospects. Teremoana could have at least KO'ed Robert Helenius by now
Want to see him be a little more high impact, give this one a watch where he momentarily kills Richard Torrez. This content is protected
What age did he start boxing? I’d assumed he started very young given he’s already a top prospect pro at 20.
I heard at age 9, but no clue if that's accurate. I think he may have started actually fighting amateur late relatively, but he has been training and sparring since he was a kid.
I'm not sold on Jalolov as a competitive pro fighter until he actually starts showing it and commits. In the ammys i'd make Jalolov as the favourite due to his accuracy, range and experience as champ.
Markus, what's your obsession with this "SHW" thing? It seems arbitrary super heavyweight is a division in amateur boxing, not professional boxing.
Jalolov has a fabulous defensive approach. By hardly ever fighting and only ever fighting low level journeyman he is unlikely to ever lose.
Pretty embarrassing that Jalolov whom is over 30 now that he has a considerably worse pro record than Itauma.
True. He said he started training at 9. Actually his 1st official amateur fight came right after he turned 12. Plenty ATGs have strarted training way later.
