what a drop off from a few years ago, i didnt ever really get the appeal as he was a bit of a workhorse but it seems the Prograis fight elevated him a lot

lucky to only have 3 losses on his record

Prograis, Jose Ramirez, Baranchyk, Postol and technically Catterall are all good wins.

Yeah was never a big fan, he overachieved for a while but was always pretty basic, did himself no favours during the Catterall debacle and even last night appearing shocked at the result, something desperate about the dude.
 
Itauma really has got the goods. The guy is just quick as hell with devastating power. Bonus points for not being a cocky bastard either; he has humility. Weirdly enough, his style reminds me of Inoue a bit. The constant tension during his fights also brings Inoue to mind. So far with Moses its like youre just waiting for something to land devastatingly, because it always does

This was a great KO. Someone suggested Torrez next as an opponent and thats a good choice. Luis Ortiz, Big Baby Miller or Jared Anderson are good choices too. Hell why not even Jalalov, battle of the prospects.

Looking forward to the next time Moses fights. He should really be promoted in the USA more. He's got everything Americans like about HW boxers.

Balogun did manage to catch him in that exchange with his own right hook but obviously Moses got the better of it.

Balogun came to fight, caught him a few times with that right hook.
Moses watches a lot of Usyk, that fencing jab is disruptive af.
Unfortunately he's managed by the lesser of the 3 Warren's and seems to be targeting Bakole?

Yeah I've been hearing Bakole might be next as well. Itauma could step up even higher but I wouldn't complain if that fight was made.

judging from his performance against Parker, Ituama should have too much for Bakole but it would be a good test, another name to throw into the mix is Michael Hunter

I'm not that picky so I'm fine with any of those guys. They all represent a step up in opposition.

yeah, lets just hope he is stepped up and Warren doesnt just use the excuse that people dont want to fight him, then you need to pay people Frank, make him into a fucking superstar and your money will well and truly be returned, and this is the problem i have, i dont think Warren has that mentality, Hearn does..but not Warren, hopefully they pay people a boat load and we get to see just how good this guy is

He is an incredible talent. The best HW prospect I’ve ever seen come out of Britain by a fair margin! The 1 possible concern I have about him is his stamina. He did put a lot in to that first round but he was blowing hard in his corner between rounds? Maybe I’m reading a bit too much in to it but it could be weakness? 1 that he can put right though

I agree.
Nobody knows, but time will tell us I guess when he steps up in competition

I also noticed how hard he was breathing in-between rounds. It could be a potential weakness but it's too early to say. Once he steps up in opposition I think conditioning will become a focal point. We still don't know how well he takes a shot from a big puncher, how long he carries his power, and so on. But right now I'd go as far as saying that he's one of the most impressive heavyweight prospects I've seen in many years. That isn't limited to the UK either I mean in world boxing.
