Comments Thread For: Moses Itauma-Jermaine Franklin tops Warren's Magnificent 7 bill in Manchester

A whole lot of meh. I'd rather see Itauma vs Jalolov.

See how the hungry young gun stacks up against an older decorated amateur and Olympic gold medalist while seeing how an older decorated amateur and reigning Olympic gold medallist stacks up against a hungry young gun.

Both need to step up and prove their worth and credentials as legit contenders not hyped up pretenders.

Most likely - as per Whyte in Itauma's last fight - Franklin will be turning up for a paycheck, replete with no-win bonus clause.

I expect the same result. Franklin walks himself onto a shot in the first round, takes a dive and grabs the bag. Thank you very much and good night.

why not itauma agains your beloved oil snake?

Because Itauma is not worthy of the Mighty Oilskin yet, but if Fisheyes wants to line him up just call Parker out.

He'll fight anyone anywhere if the price is right and give a bloody good account of himself while testing his opponent to the limit.

Perhaps give the guy a few months rest to heal up after the battering he took from Fabio first.

Well... it is technically a fight. I think I would be more interested in some of these younger fighters I have never seen before over the main event.

Jermaine Franklin is probably the best current American heavyweight.

I expect Itauma to go through him inside 3 rounds.

U must be using drugs if you think he's even close to being the best American anything! GTFOH In fact I would be willing to bet I can find a fighter in every US state that can beat him, and I said every state!

Maybe if you get a time machine and go back to the 90s

In 2025 Franklin is the best you have to offer

This ain't the Franklin who fought Whyte or Joshua. This is the lazy out of shape version who will get flattened...

Dazn wanting you to hand over $450 a year while putting on garbage like this is pathetic.

What I don't understand they say Itauma is an avoided fighter no one wants to fight and his wanting a challenge, they then turn down a fight with Sanchez to become the IBF mandatory and they turn it down to fight Pulev and old fighter who hardly fights anymore, that blew up in their faces as his now fighting someone else ( talk about putting all your eggs in one basket). Itauma needs a test and Franklin who fought in October was so out of shape, they say they want to fight Ussyk and this is no way to give Itauma the experience he needs. Frank Warren is really doing a disservice to Moses if this is the best he can do.

This is a blatant duck of the world's most avoided man, Hughie Fury. Nash out - His Majesty

Magnificent Seven? Lol.

What an underwhelming card. Maybe it does something for the Brits, I don’t know. But there’s nothing on there interesting to me, including the mismatch in the main event.
