Usyk vs. Itauma

I don't know what 'out of it' looks like. I saw a focused fighter, lets focus on what happened in the ring. I saw Whyte pumping a jab and tripling it up, feinting, level changes, he looked sharp, and nothing like the zombie you describe. He got caught and ate a bunch of fast combinations, and went down, what did you expect him to do once he was hurt and eating those shots?

You act like this happened by accident and was not a result of Moses putting on a clinic lol.

 

A KO streak that made him look invincible for one thing

 

What's a KO streak got to do with any of the points I made? Berlanga only ever looked good to casuals with poor eye sight.

 

That Berlanga looked great until he started stepping up/fighting more rounds. Has Moses Itlanga even been hit with a punch yet? Moses Itlanga must have better defense than Pernell Whitaker also then. Wow. Untouchable.

 

Again, Berlanga never looked great, and Moses already is fighting better opponents than Berlanga was back then. Mckean and Whyte are solid.

 

You could maybe say a bit better than Berlanga level opposition but barely that I would feel embarrassed trying to hype up Mckean and the worst imaginable version of Whyte and don't act like you don't see where I'm coming with that.

Put it this way I'll wait until Itauma gets hit with a punch before I say anything about skills. I'm wondering if anyone has even thrown punches at him at this stage.

 

Usyk via scbool

 

Have you not kept up with Whyte's career? He hasn't been close to what he was for damn near half a decade at this point.

Guys that would have put on the same "clinic" versus Whyte that Moses did tonight:

Wardley
Dubois
Miller (though he's fat so Whyte may have seen the 2nd round)
Zhang
Parker
Kabayel
Bakole
Ajagba
Torrez
AJ
Hrgovic (probably takes him 3 rounds or so)
Obviously Fury/Usyk

Hell, shot to pieces Wilder would have had this version of Whyte out of there with a quickness.

Enough with the ultra-casual takes, my guy. Let me guess, you thought Daniel Dubois was a completely changed fighter, a new man, and would be giving Usyk hell for leather, right? Ya'll gotta stop eating up the British propaganda. They'll say w/e they need to say to try and sell these fights. Calling a spade and a spade and Whyte a walkover which does nothing for Moses doesn't sell. This was a shot fighter taking a last payday and showing us nothing. Congrats to Moses, but to act like this was some test for him is silly. Get back to me when he fights someone who will actually hit him on his chin at least once before you go asking me to crown him the next Mike Tyson.

 

We need to see his chin and stamina. All the skill is worthless at HW if he can't take a punch but elite attributes like his speed , power, timing, combination punching, are apparent regardless of who he is fighting. Its like watching a young Tyson coming up and looking special despite fighting cab drivers. They have special attributes at HW.

Whats also impressive to me is his maturity, no bouncing around the ring in excitement, he just turned around and calmly walked off, like a young tyson. Pure confidence, and business. He is extremely mature for his age, physically and mentally.

 

I'll be honest with you he looks more like a Michael Moorer during his early days go look at Moorer highlights he was destroying guys on the way up and looking like a phenom. Tyson looked special even against the top contenders thats the big difference there.

 

Tyson was faster and more explosive than this kid.

 

That sounds cool but you don't seem to realize your whole argument is based on speculation rather than facts. I am stating facts. None of those fighters or anyone has ever ran through Whyte like that before, fact. You are speculating. You stating whyte is shot is also just speculation. Come back when you have some facts.

 

A hypothetical that will never happen.

 

What "facts" do you have again? Because I haven't seen any. And you're quite the hypocrite, aren't ya? Saying it's just speculation that Whyte is shot yet you say things like this in other threads:

And if we want to just say silly stuff, then Itauma sucks because he couldn't even sleep an ancient Whyte. Povetkin, Fury, and AJ all sent a much younger Whyte to the Shadow Realm. Checkmate, fool!

 

Turki wants Itauma vs Usyk next, so it will be Itauma vs Usyk next.
