    He really reminds me of big Pricey.

    Blew his load and was then there for the taking.
    He will be an entertaining fighter, if he can't spark them out he will likely take a Pricey-esque beating which was always great entertainment.

    Price would've been knocked out from the wind of Paulie Maliganni's punches. The comparison is a bit unfair.

    He doesn't seem to have grade A whiskers though.

    It’s all about confidence at this point. Moses has the tools to rebound from tonight’s disaster, but he’ll need to learn pacing and how to react from adversity. All the belts are wide open, it’s easier to rebound now, then it is when there is one long term dominant champ. In those eras you get your chance and if you lose on to the next for the champ. But right now, win a comeback fight and you’re right back in the mix for one of the belts. Time will tell.

    God I love David Price, we really should have a statue for him here in Liverpool. Pure entertainment. Chins people, gets chinned, never know if he will gas in 30 seconds or 30 minutes but he will gas, edge of your seat popcorn fights.

    Itauma folded like a cheap coat when the going got tough. Best leave the HW division to properly trained fighters. If Hrgovic sent you home on a stretcher, what would Dubois, Kabayel, and Usyk do to you?? And all because Team Itauma got greedy with his young age and trying to make him out to be the best to ever lace them up. GTFO with that stupidity.

    He looked like a piece of jelly wobbling about in a hurricane, it was shocking how one minute he was bravely fending him off and then the last of his health bar was eradicated and he was unable to summon the strength to even coordinate his body parts anymore. Went out on his shield trying, sometimes the body reaches its limit not for lack of trying.

    He can also have received very deep scars from this fight, self doubt will creep in everytime he starts going past 4. The minute he starts feeling what he felt in his body tonight the fight then becomes within himself. A more mature mind I think would find it easier to overcome, he’s so young I don’t know how mentally strong he actually is.

    Too many overreactions on Itauma. His chin wasn't the problem, it was his stamina and inexperience. He's still quite young, so he's got plenty of time to get more experience and improve his conditioning. If he's able to do that, he'll be a force in the division for years to come.

    He doesn’t get knocked out cold when he gasses, he just bends over and says I’m ready.

    I dont see it. Moses lost after a back and forth brawl where he clearly spent way too much energy in, took big shots, made it to the 9th in such a fight and when stopped was 0 in gas tank.

    Price got stopped sharply and early in two of his first three losses (second round)

    Dont think theyre a good comparison imo

    Prime Pricey vs Itauma in a 3 round shootout.

    I'd favour pricey 60/40
