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

[Oracle01]

Physically or mentally? Just because he lost a few pounds doesnt mean he's in great shape in terms of his boxing career. There is much more to preparing for a fight than sparring a few rounds and going on a diet. The "best shape of his career" got him knocked out in under 2 minutes. The truth is he had nothing to gain here but cash. He was never going to get another title fight. He was never going to revive his career. You are suffering from the Mike Tyson effect.

You can't get into that shape if you lack mentality. Now please explain why he wouldn't have become a top contender again if he had defeated the hottest prospect in the division and maybe the sport?

Itamua who is an unusual mix of Eastern European and African showed good quickness and speed. He throws accurate punches. Good with the Jab and hook BUT.. I think his tale of the tape is a little happy. He's not that tall and does not have that good of reach as his tale of the tape suggests. His power level is hard to guage but it is good. Say about an 8 out of 10.

His heart, chin and stamina remain untested.

The chinny Whyte looked like he was in there for a pay day.

He needs to fight tougher journeyman heavyweights with say two loses on their resume or undefeated types of young heavies. Not glass jawed 37+ year olds. He is at least 2 years away from meeting a top 10 guy.

Whyte is well past prime but Itauma met expectations with that first round stoppage. I didn't see any glaring faults. He has a lot of potential.
I'd like to see him and Dubois next. Or Kabayel.
