I'm assuming it runs in the family, Karol got obliterated by Maderna and has been risk averse ever since. Also I didn't like the super skittish way he almost overreacted to a marauding Balogun, who let's be honest is gloppy elephant feces in terms of power and skills. Excessively hugging and looking genuinely unnerved. As far as his power, how legit is it? Sure he couldn't stop Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko 2 years ago, which isn't a big deal, since no one has. But the fact that in 6 he couldn't stop Kevin Nicolas Espindola in 6, when Riakporhe in his Heavyweight debut took him out in 4 and Frazer Clarke did him in 4 as well, 1 fight before Itauma. So while yes, it looks like he might be the real deal, based on the last few performances, but again.... why should we be all that impressed? McKean is seen as durable, but he's also a fellow southpaw, making him a very easy target for Itauma's most devastating punches most southpaws fall when facing a fellow southpaw. 44 year old Wach looked like a gelatinous melting Ringlefinch, and was a few years removed from being battered senseless and stopped by another hypejob in Makhmudov. Win means nothing, but even then Wach took plenty of flush shots in the first round.

Mezencev was massacred in similar fashion a decade ago by that girlfriend beater Tom Schwarz, the guy is a total scrub, not close to an impressive win. So yes, he's fast, has decent foot work and has solid reflexes, has a sharp mouse trap like right hook and a fast straight left. But he realistically hasn't been put in the ring with anyone who poses even a slightest challenge to him, certainly no one who is a legitimate threat that isn't shot to grim death or a total bum. So what happens when he gets in the ring with someone who he can't take out in 2 rounds? Will he still be just as fast in the 6th, if someone forces him into a fight and he starts expending energy? I have a sneaking suspicion that his power doesn't last long, after all, he was teeing off at will and landing flush on both Dovbyshchenko and Espindola well into the 5h and 6th, and neither of them looked close to going down. So yeah, I think when he gets tired, he has a tendency to drop his hands, stand directly in front of his opponents, chin up in the air, begging for a counter right hook. The first opponent that's durable with good timing will exploit that viciously.
