    We shouldn't be really surprised if Whyte beats Itauma

    As we already stated, Itauma hasn't fought a living body yet. The only question is how motivated Whyte is to test Itauma. If he is motivated, I can see Itauma having a big trouble. Whyte can fight, he is cery experienced, he was top 5 years ago.

    Turki is hyped to match Usyk with Itauma, well, I have my doubts.

    If Whyte wins, he should get a full credit.

      As long as Itauma can throw an uppercut he'll be fine

        That Alexander Povetkin uppercut was clean.

          Yo, that's crazy that all those uppercuts dropped/KO'd him. Dude never learned after being dropped/KO'd once by, not twice by it, not thrice by it, not... damn. Dude just never learns..

          Though yeah, it's a name to put on Itauma's resume to start going after the has beens and work himself upwards.

          Talk of an Usyk fight is just ****** at this point. It's disrespectful to Usyk and if Usyk handled the dude like he should, you've lowered his stock and he's barely got his career moving yet. On the other hand, if he gave Usyk a good fight, it's not a bad deal, though it feels like he's going to cut the line in doing so.

            Povetkin set him up for that. All fight long he threw that jab to left hook body shot combination, and Whyte was expecting the body shot again there. But instead Povetkin hit him with the uppercut and iced him.

            Povetkin was incredibly washed at the time, too.

              I won't be surprised. A fit and focused Dillian is still a problem for most heavyweights outside of the top level. He's got enough experience to get through a few rounds, which is more than anyone has done with Moses recently.

              Then we'll see what Itauma is really about. We probably all expect he'll deal with that but expecting is worth less than actually seeing him do it. I think it's a really good test for him.

                Itauma is lightning fast

                    So are we going to give Itauma any credit if he wins?
