Itauma to fight Whyte!

How did Teeth fight end?

 

With Tetteh on his feet, not even close to being KO'd. Quit because he was a tired 60 year old man.

 

Hmmm..

And is Itauma more durable than Tetteh?

 

Good fight.
Much safer option than fight with Hrgovic but still good step forward.
But lets be honest. Whyte last times is not active and we have no idea how much left in him. Probably not soo much. He is old dude after few wars and loss by hard KOs (Joshua, Povetkin, Fury).
I dont expect much from him in this one. Only got hope he can land some powershoots on offensive Young dude to give us some answers about his chin and behavior in harder situation.

But for sure they belive in this fella. Whyte probably was not cheap and they still got him. Nice job

 

Tetteh got stopped in 1 round by Fraser Clarke.

 

Itauma ices Whyte in 3 rounds. Whyte is shot to bits.

 

If he ices Whyte easily, then fights Hrgovic and beats him or stops him on cuts (I don't think anybody is knocking him out), that would be a statement. If he ices Whyte and Hrgovic in a row easily, ok, he's arrived.

 

Is it?

Hrgovic is less aggressive than Whyte and with less power (nothing Hrgovic has ever thrown is remotely close to Whyte's left hook) - he's not as slow, and he's more durable, but neither has great stamina...

Both would be risky fights for different reasons, IMHO.

 

I think Hrgovic is a bigger test because of the accuracy in his right hand. Nobody fights him without getting nailed in the face over and over by that right. Ituama hasn't got hit much. If he fights Hrgovic, he's going to get hit.

 

Whyte went life and death with Chisora when Whyte was in his prime. He’s looked rubbish recently and this is a cash out fight for him. He’s been begging for a Saudi pay out for years.

 

Oh definitely... Hrgovic gets hits in, they're just not hugely powerful - powerful enough that if Itauma's packing a poor chin he'd get stopped, but Hrgovic isn't stopping anyone with a proper chin either.

With Whyte, if Itauma gets hit with a big left hook then even if he had a really good chin it could still be bad news for him...

Yes Hrgovic is more likely to hit him, and repeatedly, and he's very difficult to knock out - but Whyte could be more dangerous in a "kill or be killed" sense, where with Hrgovic it's more a question of having the stamina to win on points as long as you have a decent chin.

 

I think my point was that if Ituama is packing glass, Whyte might not find that out (because he might be too shot to land anything good), but Hrgovic absolutely will .

 

This.

 

How good is Itauma at throwing uppercuts?

 

We all know he will.
