Re: Moses Itauma v Dillian Whyte
Belatedly just sat and watched this as I was away the weekend. I’ve got a theory on this (Surprise surprise!);D
1. We all thought Whyte was in amazing shape, and on the scales he was. And it was uncharacteristic of him to think he could get into that shape by grafting his nuts off more than he has his whole career. So here’s the theory….. I reckon he was on Mounjaro , which explains how he lost the weight, and while he probably trained well because he was lighter and able to, I don’t reckon he trained like a savage, hence the lack of punch resistance.
These weight loss drugs are amazing, but to get the best of them, you can’t let them do all the heavy lifting, you have to work with it. I don’t reckon it would be a banned substance either.
2. We didn’t see enough of Itauma, but I can’t help thinking he’s the real deal. The way he moves, his punch selection , combinations, nastiness, it’s all there. The only thing we haven’t really seen is if he can take a dig and what his natural reactions/survival instincts are like when he’s in trouble.
But you know what, we might not see that for quite a while, because I’m not sure who is out there that can show us that.
Apart from Usyk , I would put him in with anyone else in the World and not be too worried, because apart from Usyk, let’s be fair, there’s not a lot of quality out there.
Strap yourselves in and prepare for a helluva ride with this guy.

yes he looks good but he hasn't fought anyone that was remotely a test. there's a reason they are talking guys like jermaine franklin next. right now if they fought next i say joseph parker & agit kabayel beat him. i think he beats daniel, if aj is focused i think he wins. martin & lawrence get knocked out. i'd like to see him fight guys like efe ajagba, jared anderson & filip hrgovic to get some work in. andy ruiz would be a good test. even justis would give him a tough fight if his chin holds up
