    We all know Dillon eats uppercuts. Thats not a map, that's GPS.

      I think Adelaye is a level below Hrgovic tbh, Hrgovic is heavily flawed but you have to have something about you to take advantage of that, Dubois is a big puncher and he had to land dozens and dozens of flush shots and a few headbutts on Hrgovic to put him off, I just don't think Adalaye has anything special to psych Hrgovic out.

        Well Saudi money speaks again, how many British fight fans are likely to attend this one? I mean you can hardly jump on the No 9 bus!

          It's a good matchup for Itauma. Whyte has some power and isn't afraid to try and inflict violence. He's seasoned and been in with high caliber opponents.

          He's shopworn, past his prime, slow as molasses and has a questionable gas tank. For all of these reasons, Whyte is a good opponent for various reasons.

          I expect Itauma's athleticism, explosiveness and concussive power will result in a catastrophic knockout of Whyte.
          I am with you on this one. It is time to step up Moses and White is the right calibre opponent to test him. He will punch back and try to inflict some damage. He will not just lie down without a fight. If itsuma KOs White in an impressive fashion it would be time to test him against Hrgovic, assuming he wins.

            Good card. All with British interest. Seems to be a waste for it to be in Saudi. All would of been decent on the Usyk-Dubois card

              Cacace vs Ford is the best fight on this card by far.

                Whyte has been out of the ring to long. His chin seems Broken . Whyte Will definitely need his Steriods. Without his Steriods I can not see him lasting . Although Whyte can Crack so maybe fan’s will see Itauma Chin Checked maybe. I would preferred an active opponent . Who knows this may turn into an early Rounds War wouldn’t that be worth watching .

                  Whyte has still to make it to the ring, I won't be holding my breath.
                  For the money he's probably getting though he'd be a bloody idiot to pop for this.

                    Didn't Fury and Povetkin both KO Whyte with one-hitter-quitter uppercuts?
                    Hmmm, I wonder if Itauma knows this

                      He might not make it to the ring if he insists on being carried in a sedan chair like Fury has done. Nobody could lift the damn thing let alone carry it.
