Can Itauma beat current Joshua?

Based on Joshua showing vs Prenga? Hells yes and in the first 2 rounds

 

I would say so.

 

60-40 in favour of Itauma, I would have said 70-30 before the Hrgovic fight. I don't think this would see five rounds.

 

C'mon.. Itauma. Joshua is burnt toast

even though Itauma was stretchered out of the ring after the Hrgovic fight because he became deathly frightened when Hrgovic wouldn't go away. Like his heart couldn't handle it.. no heart.

 

Itauma brutally sparks out current AJ in 1 round. AJ has absolutely no punch resistance whatsoever. A quick counter combo would totally discombobulate him.

Now that I think about it Itauma would be an extremely bad stylistic matchup even for a prime AJ. A chinny, stiff slow starter against a fast, fluid, quick starting ultra aggressive counter puncher.

 

I would say no. Not at this point... Itauma is wide open to a man with a good straight right hand. Joshua Can throw a beautiful straight right & with major force. He jarred Dubois with that exact punch.

Joshua ring IQ is too much for him at this early stage.

 

Might be a 1st round KO for Itauma at this point

Joshua might be completely shot

 

Not a chance that the guy knocked down in round 1 by Prenga can survive the 8 rounds Ituama has shown he can do. I think I'd be surprised if AJ makes it out of the first round, after that showing against Prenga.

Ituama needs to learn to take it more slowly, but against AJ? I'd send Ituama in balls out, blitz AJ from the opening second of round 1.
