David Price was better than Itauma

Got beat by Tony Thompson. Twice. Badly I might add. And Erkan Teper. Eeek.

 

Moses, IMO, just went into a tough fight with the wrong game plan. He should have boxed first few rounds get a feel for Hrgovic punch selection, defense and movement before turning up the heat. Moses would have beat Price IMO

 

Itauma is 21. He has a long way to go before we start comparing him to retired fighters lol

 

Wow - these threads are really getting overboard

One loss and you're history

No redemption for you!!

Face it - the Itauma we saw on the weekend would beat 90% of top HWs inside 8 rounds

 

It’s not just one loss. How many times have you seen someone with that much hype literally stretchered out of the ring? Championship level boxing is 12 rounds not 6 not 8. You have to have stamina and you have to have a Chin. Period.

 

It's one loss. He's 21 years old.

It really isn't the end of the world like some are claiming here.

 

Itauma goes straight through a prime Price in about 2 minutes

 

Moses certainly couldnt reroute copper lines to a reverse osmosis pump.

 

A 21 year old loses to a top 5 level HW late in the fight after winning the majority of the rounds up to that point.

"He sucks! he will never come back!! hype job!!! every other HW that ever existed was better!!!!"

Why do people have to be so melodramatic?

 

2nd Thompson fight is the fight I compare this to, gassed badly early in the fight just like Moses did last weekend... R9 is early in a 12 rounder.... Price by memory it was like R6.

 

Itauma still has a big future

Even if he changes nothing

 

If he doesn't improve that gas tank he will lose quite a few fights... when you have 2 elite fighters going at it majority of fights go to points.

 

Nope

They need a granite chin

And most will not survive Itauma's onslaught
