Comments Thread For: Teremoana Jnr: ?That?s an awesome fight, me and Moses Itauma?

[CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart]

The lurch is 8-0 in 5 years.
I can't take someone that disinterested in fighting seriously.

He turned Pro , had four fights then went back to the Amateurs for the Olympics then went back to Pro Boxing. That's probably why he has so few fights in five years.
I don't understand how a guy can go back and forth from Professional to Amateur but apparently they can.

All roads lead to Opetaia bs Itauma

Teremoana looks fearsome against mediocre (at best) opponents, but we won't know until he gets put in proper with a real challenge.
We can say much the same about Moses, his demolition of a shot Whyte notwithstanding.
At this point it's just the eye test, and Moses looks to be the faster, sharper, more skilled guy.
My guess: If they fought today, Moses sleeps him.

It would be a good test for both of them. Young, undefeated, unproven. Moses has the better promotional outfit and he is being pushed at the moment but he really needs to fight a hungry young lion for all of us to know where he is at. Having said that, I doubt their handlers sacrifice either one of them at this stage in their careers. There would need to be more money in the pot for that to happen.

Jalolov did the same thing. Two Olympic gold medals at 2020 and 2024 and 15 professional fights in 7 years. Still hasn't fought anyone that I have ever heard of (as a professional).

Of course they won't fight until years from now, if ever.
That's just how it goes with the supposed (and over-protected) Next Big Thing, with rare exceptions, such as generational phenoms like Boots Ennis.
