New Guy Wants To Be Youngest Heavyweight Champ Ever

[billeau2]

Here is another fight. Great sense of distance, hard to train that... Defensively does not get hit much, dances, throws punches in bunches.

!! Damn!!!
This is no British heavyweight out of the Bruno, Joshua mode, more like Tyson. Looks very experienced and capable. Uniquely: Fights well off back foot, has footwork to spare, fast hands, great head movement, fights experienced. I am impressed. This kid moves very well. Can't tell power yet, but might have as well.

Looks good, no doubt. I don’t see Tyson, though. I’m not accustomed to seeing heavyweights so young, however. My only real experience is, well, Tyson. Itauma so far demonstrates a style that is more Tyson Fury than Mike Tyson. Not a bad thing, to be sure, but there aren’t too many big men that can truly pull that off. Currently only the heavyweight champ, in my opinion. So much can happen between now and a date with destiny. But as of now, Moses looks promising. Just my opinion.

Thanks for that additional footage. The Spanish announcer was singing Itauma’s praises. Lol One obvious thing that hasn’t been mentioned is that Moses is a southpaw. A good lefty is always tough. The kid goes to the body and mixes his punches. And he was only 17 in that bout.

Those images are in the member’s sig. They’re not part of his post.

So every time they post, it comes up? Even more sad then, there should be a filter for idiots who ain't grown up yet

nvm looking at his amateur record.


idk if he gets there in time in 2 years.

hes got basically one more year to really clean up at heavyweight to make enough noise to schedule a title bout by 20

Well, Itauma seems to have the discipline, desire and size. But Tyson had D’Amato and his resources. Time will tell. At the very least we now have someone to keep an eye out for. Good luck to him.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha
You beat me to it
Cus was an integral part to Mike Tyson

Strange record. 22-0 but 15 of his fights were against fighters in their debut fight. 22 opponents with a cumulative record of 11-3

I reread my post this afternoon and the wife had her "Honeydo" list that pulled me away... I had meant to qualify that I meant Tyson Fury and not Iron MIke. Tyson Fury at this kid's age was still more ackward... You could see the skills though, but this kid is polished! He looks like Fury when Fury was starting to confidently fight off the back leg at times. Seldom are heavyweights fighting off the back foot. And the kid has excellent reactions, his distance, timing and reflexes really make me take notice.

No way no how. Nobody will want to risk fighting this kid, he won't get the fights.

Everybody talking about the resources Mike Tyson had: I would like to know how this kid is so damn savy in the ring. The only prospect that was moving half as good was Wardly, the British kid, but not like this kid... Someone who knows the ropes is training this kid. There are other very strong prospects like jared, who has a world class jab and power, but this kid reminds me of Fury when some of us said "when this big goof finds his way a bit he has the potential to win it all. Remember also that Tyson F made plenty of mistakes, arguably losing to mcDermot and getting tagged good by Cunningham... But his skills and range were there if one watched carefully.

Of course so much can happen as the opposition gets better, but this kid is going to the job site with a full tool box. I thank you for this thread my guy lol. I am truly impressed by this kid.
