Whose hit the ground the hardest? Anderson, Torrez Jr., or Itauma?

Anderson, he took the worst beating, and since the fight he has done nothing and seems to have no interest in boxing. Bob Arum is not forgiving of his fighters after taking a loss like that, so he lacks support.

Torrez loves the sport, and despite his not having a good chin, he'll be back and win some fights.

Itauma is the most talented of the three, and did well in the fight up until the 9th round. He's also the youngest. I believe he'll be successful in the future - he is receiving lots of support from his promoter and the UK media. Frank Warren, for all his faults, does not abandon his boxers after a loss (Dubois being a good example).

 

Anderson for me. He got absolutely smashed up for 5 rounds, and all of his shots were bouncing off Bakole’s head, to the point where Bakole was actually stood giving him free shots. He was a fat plodding blob even in that fight, for all his power and ability to punch in bunches. The optics were therefore absolutely disastrous.

Torrez got starched by a good shot from a genuinely skilled and well credentialed boxer in Frank Sanchez. It was unexpected, but excusable to a degree. As a Brit, I’m not sure how hyped he was the world over, but whatever hype he had was rightly stalled after that, but not to the Anderson extent.

Moses was the most hyped of the 3 and rightly so. He’d beat the other two back to back in the same night. He beat the brakes of Hrgovic for 90% of the fight and was only found wanting in the experience department, namely his ability to pace a fight against a tough, durable, world level operator with good ring craft. Obviously it’s a big hurdle in the career of Moses going forward, but it didn’t lower his stock in terms of how skilled he actually is as a fighter. He just needed more time to understand his own performance limits and bank some more rounds before challenging for a title. Something that a lot of people were saying he should’ve had anyway. If he keeps at it and isn’t discouraged/psychologicallyscarred, I still see Itauma going on to win a significant portion of the world title. Skill for skill, he’s top drawer.

 

Absolutely. If we're talking about whose suspect chin got shattered the worst, that HAS to be Torrez!!

Of course the other two aren't exactly Oliver McCall either!!!
