So maybe its time to talk about Moses Itauma

[treelo]

This guy seems to keep getting better and better, i think a few people thought that McKean would test him, having nearly gone the distance with Hrgovic, but he absolutely blew him out of the water

He is looking pretty special. his hand and foot speed look great for a big man, he closes the distance very quickly and seems to be gaining more power as he matures

Where does he go next, and who will want to fight him?

Hrgovic may be a good barometer, or maybe someone like Wallin

 

[Hagler]

The kid is fast as fuck.

The kid is fast as fuck.

He was in and out against McKean before he even knew what was happening, he could be a real big problem for the heavyweight division if he keeps getting better

plus, fucking 19 years old!!!!

he has also been sparring all the top guys and holding his own

 

[Blastbeat]

I had heard about him from other people on this forum but that was the first time i saw him fight
well, i was pretty impressed. that 2nd punch he knocked McKean out with was insanely fast and accurate.
will be looking forward to his future fights!

Yea. I thought Mckean would give him some rounds but he went in there and just smoked him.

He looked 10 yrs older than he was, but moved as fast as you'd expect a 19 yr old to move, hahah.



Very impressed.

When Mckean got up, he was like "fuck this"

I said a couple times that he'd run through McKean and that's exactly what he did. Itauma has looked nothing short of amazing so far. We still need him to answer some questions though. How well can he take a big shot? What does his stamina look like? And so on. In the near future we could be looking at Itauma vs Jalolov.

You did indeed, if he can take a shot, sky's the limit.

What does his stamina look like?

Yeah he's never gone more than six rounds before, especially against a high-tier opponent who will force him to work constantly to keep up.

Still a few questions to be asked before we get too excited. He does look promising though.

 

[treelo]

why isnt his nickname "trauma", been bugging me since the fight at the weekend

 

[mozfonky]

With what's out there, anyone is capable from coming up and making a splash. We'll just have to wait though. A title shot is probably 2-3 years away just from the political BS alone.

Tyson had 30 fights before his 21st birthday lol.
