Comments Thread For: Impressive Moses Itauma blitzes Dillian Whyte in a round

[hitmanjosh]

Moses is ok, but Dillian Whyte did a weak ass acting job, flopping all over the place like a straight b_ t_ _! Yep I said it!

The problem is, Itauma is 20. Not a normal 20, but a focused, dedicated prodigy who is big, strong and very fast. When the body is 20, you can basically do whatever you want. The ligaments, the tendons are fresh and have lots and lots of spring. Dillian meant well but his joints aren't as limber

I'm certain fighters like Kabayel and Parker would be competitive and they could beat the young guy. As they are both carrying form, confidence, and experience into that fight.

But there are plenty of big name heavies that I would expect Itauma to chin in not dissimilar fashion if the fights were to happen. It won't happen but he's ****ing out AJ in a few rounds, imo.

Hrgovic would seem a better yardstick than most. I just think he could take the punches at least for a while and put Moses under some pressure.

The young phenom is something. How would he do it against Usyk, who knows. Win or lose, he'd do better than Dubois.

I said before the fight that I'd give credit to Moses for winning.

But to be honest I'm struggling. I expected so much more from Whyte. He showed nothing at all.

Maybe it's because Moses is that good. But it's hard to market that as him passing a significant test.

It was Dempsey vs Willard, Tyson vs Spinks all over again.

I d pick kabayel and Parker to have better than 50% chance to best itauma.
But you need good chin and white was never that guy.

I'm Satisfied.

Tbf as a fan fights like that are difficult because whilst I appreciate Whyte was up against it...

I wonder what the plan was really.

He gave up ground immediately and started circling. Was his one plan was get him with a massive left hook out of nowhere with no set-up?

With Moses speed that cross armed defence just handcuffed him.

Easier said than done but I really thought he'd just be looking to tie Moses up. Walk him back to ropes. Do all the dirty stuff he could get away with. Make it a horrible mess.

He sat back.

Got chinned.

Dillian was cashing a check. I knew it when I picked an early KO for the PICK EM earlier this week. He did nothing to help us answer any questions about Itauma. Kid looks like the real deal and right now he is the future, but in my opinion any number of the top guys could still alter the timeline.
