First round knockout for Moses. Very impressive and clinical.
Future world champion in the making.
Have we learned anything there. Clinical yes but was Whyte really up for that. He had nothing
I was wrong. Itauma is that good.
Unfortunately I can see them putting him in with Usyk way before he's ready.
I think Whyte did come to win and take it to the later rounds but Moses was too sharp and precise. You can not but be impressed by that first round knockout. He is so calm and vicious.Quote:

Too many ahead of Itauma such as Parker and Kabayal so he will not get the chance until he earns it. They would be good opponents for him.Quote:

Itauma continues to impress. Must be a nightmare trying to get him rounds when he is on such an explosive trajectory. Whyte has to be done now but the future looks bright.
Very rare for somebody who carries that amount of power to be so rounded and fundamentally sound. No relying on one favourite combo to get the job done, Itauma has shown a great boxing brain already. Those skills are class.
That's you speaking with your boxing purist hat on. That doesn't apply any more.Quote:

What we see in under 2 rounds so far, there's natural fluidity. But hardly enough to gauge overall skillset for me. Think he desperately needs rounds. Hey, feed him Jarrell Miller :-X. Massive load, durable with a little depth. Watching Miller pounded for a number of rounds before flopping over is just a bonus.Quote:

The saying "there is levels to this" should also apply to hyped prospects being allowed to leapfrog legit learned contenders. But Turki gonna Turki :p. Like a backhanded slap to Usyk being honest.Quote:

if anyone needs the fight vids from this card let me know
He still has a lot to prove but in the limited action we have seen him in, the skills he has he deploys with quite a rare fluidity for a big fella. Adversity will be his best friend if someone can give him rounds. Not just chin checking but stamina, plan B's and thinking on his feet when he is being shut out or countered.Quote:
