I'm looking forward to it as well mate, its the right fight for Ituama at those stage imo, I hope he comes through it in style as I like what I've seen so far and it's a lad you could see going places. Once punch resistance has gone, it's gone. It never comes back. When he speaks, Itauma seems so laid back he's almost asleep. I think he has a lot of confidence in his own ability and the laid back approach is just an inner self belief coming out. I can remember a few young sports stars who just knew they were something extra special. Mike Tyson , Yamal, even Rooney, who said he knew he was the best player on the pitch at 16 years old. Not forgetting chubby, Greggs poster boy, Luke Littler. Nothing whatsoever phases them. Edited Wednesday at 18:06 by jukel123 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 21,634 Posted Wednesday at 20:12 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 20:12 Steady on lads , although I agree Whyte has looked pretty shot of recent and i think Ituma stands a fair chance at beating him i don't think its unfair to say that he has had a somewhat artificially manufactured career upto now and doesn't really deserve the rankings hes been given, he has a 12 fight resume consisting of D level opponents , the WBO have him ranked at no1 and the WBA no2 , his best wins are – Mike Balogun: 41 – Demsey McKean: 34 – Mariusz Wach: 45 – Ilja Mezencev lol Good luck to him but nothing to get excited about just yet .

jukel123 9,341 Posted Wednesday at 20:42 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 20:42 Agree 100%. But I don't think his team would match him with Whyte unless they thought he could beat him comfortably. The bookies have him a massive favourite as well, as do all the pundits and ex boxers I've read or heard. I just think they have got more info than we have. It's going to be interesting.

Lol Completely agree mate, Whyte is a big step up, but probably the right one.. whyte won't ever be back in Championship contention, so this is a big pay packet for him it's win win for Whyte regardless of the outcome... I'd say Ituamas camp know that Whyte is a calculated risk, as I said I hope he wins as it would put him up another peg and we need these young lads coming through in the heavies.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Derek Chishora was offered 2 million to fight Itauma and turned it down. He basically said on YouTube that he valued his marbles and Itauma was too scary an opponent to consider. He says he phoned Whyte and told him to avoid Itauma. Hype? Bollocks? As Kanny says Itauma has fought nobody as yet. I would look devastating against a seven year old boxer lol. But would be demolished by a 16 year old. It's all about levels. Which is why this fight is so intriguing. Edited Thursday at 08:29 by jukel123 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s very susceptible to the old uppercut and I’m sure Moses team have picked up on that but it’s heavyweights boxing and one good shot is all it takes to turn a fight 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I've ever witnessed a bloke of this age and experience ever being tipped by so many within the boxing community. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
