    I was expecting a Tom Schwarz type of opponent, at least....

    Moses is a beast but this is a joke. His opponent has an extremely padded record with the stoppages coming against bums with terrible records

    Yeah pretty terrible. This guy got stopped by the wife beater Schwarz.

    Moses needs a step up and this clearly isn't it.

    I don't think he needs to step up. He's no Mike Tyson. He's just 19 and 7:0.

    He needs to fight 10 more bums before stepping up

    Moses has PLENTY of time at 19 and 7-0, and doesn't need to be rushed especially if he is fighting at least 3-4 times a year. Although packed with bums, 24-3 isn't the worst record.

    I think people are overreacting a bit here.

    Itauma by KO in like 30 seconds. Mezencev is beyond awful

    Itauma has no need to run to break Tyson's record and become the youngest champion because he will stumble, he is too young and it is important to be active and gain experience, time is on his side and there will be opportunities for a bigger step forward...

    I remember watching Boytsov blasting through overmatched opponents. Hopefully Itauma won't spend so much time doing that.
