Comments Thread For: Reign man? Moses Itauma shows no limits in TKO of Dillian Whyte

[Oregonian]

I wasn't impressed at all. Everyone knows that Whyte is a D level fighter and always has been. But I find the new level of excitement for Ituma intriguing from the usual suspect fans. Hopefully he gets a fight with Usyk soon so that demographic of fans will cry. They are going to to be supremely disappointed just like they were when Fury literally bashed Wilders head in.

YOU, thou art in this Universe, a Demi-god ruling over the boxing community realm “WAS NOT IMPRESSED”.
Once again, YOU, the almighty Docholiday is intrigued by the “excitement of the usual fans”.

Well, alright, give us this day our daily bread and insight to the greatest boxing mind.

That’s not to say I think Itauma is the real deal. Nope. Just your level of condescending attitude.

Itauma is 20 years old so yeah he can be fast but he shouldn’t be flubby at all so I do agree, Usyk at 38 will still flatten him.

I hope Whyte got paid and the promise of a job within the ring eco system, he took one for the team tonight.

That was some quick, violent destruction. Itauma's punches are very deceptive. They do not seem incredibly powerful but they cause quick destruction. His hands are quick and the opponents do not see the punches. We keep saying he needs to be tested but that may not happen until he fights someone in the top 5. Even then, his highlight reel is now starting to look like the highlight reel that was used to promote young Mike Tyson before he became the champion. For the first time in a very long time there is some real excitement in the heavyweight division.

He does not just blindly throw combinations, he has great punch selection and accuracy, with speed and power, which is a deadly combination. Does not rush or smother his opponents either, reminds me of a young Tyson. Also very calm and collected. Destroyed whyte then slowly turned around and walked off. Another day in the office. Lets hope he has a chin.

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

Anyone can make small improvements to their game. It is certainly not in him, that much is clear.

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.

He was so uninterested he came into the ring in the best shape he has for 10 years. Great take.

’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.

You didn't comprehend the question. Nobody has run through Whyte in 1 round.

Think you may be right

Hrgovic should be next. Itauma has that No 1 WBO ranking, Hrgovic is No 2.

Whyte to fight 3 undisputed champs? They said might ,yeah,but Usyk was the first in the 4 belt era and first since Lenox had it all together ,and Whyte has nothing common with them.Other than than I think Hrgovic is great for Itauma and was presented to the undercard. Big ,kinda durable, has some pop inside his gloves but still no special tricks. Joyce and Wilder are so much over the hill that not even in a serious consideration. Ruiz catch lighting in a bottle and nothing more since than. Miller for me doesnt exist. I somehow like Chisora so I don't want see him hurt. Okolie seems too smart to stay away from the danger without reward.

Itauma looks good and is still improving. And even though Dillian is long in the tooth, Nobody has done that to Whyte.
Respect to Whyte for taking this fight.

Lol you do realize the older you get the worse your chin gets right? Especially for boxers who were knocked out before. It is like saying wow Kevin McBride beat a old Mike Tyson so that must mean McBride was a good fighter.
