    Dillian Whyte looked uninterested from the beginning of the press conferences to the final stoppage. He didnt want to engage in talk because he knew it would show. He took extra time in the dressing room because he was mentally setting for the inevitable. There was no set up in the fight. Whyte just knew what was coming and took it when it arrived.

      Miller is way too slow. And Andy Ruiz at his best...sure...but thats a few years removed. They will hold Ituama until Usyk retires by having him fight the ghosts of boxings past. He should be targeting Joyce and Dubois while they are both breaking down. Big UK fights with fighters whose names are still freshly relevant but who are soft enough to be taken out.

          I was impressed overall by Moses. But, witholding being a part of the hype until we see what happens when Moses is hit with a very hard flush shot, as well as how he responds in the 9th round of a fast paced fight when it comes to stamina.

                Notes? Do you believe Rick can matriculate his way to this? Its not in him, he's doing the best he can.

                  Respect to Whyte for taking this fight.
                  ’nobody has done that to whyte’

                  is this a joke?

                  Dude has been knocked out 3 times. By Joshua, Povetkin and Fury. Povetkin probably the one who KO’d him the worse. I personally don’t believe this win for Itauma proved anything. He’s certainly skilled as hell, fast, calculated and powerful. But we need to see him vs a Parker, Zhang or even Hrgovic before we can truly rate him.

                    Who are the 3 undisputed champs Whyte will have faced? Joshua was never undisputed, he collected the alphabet belts when Fury took his mental health hiatus.

                      So just like I predicted before the fight when PLENTY on here were saying Whyte was a real test and might be at Itauma, those same people now turn round and give Itauma no credit.

                      Yes we still need to see harder tests but it's clear that Itauma is one of the most talented heavyweights we have seen in a long time and an exciting prospect.
