David Haye predicts an early knockout for Moses Itauma or a loss of decision to Dillian Whyte

David Haye says the best chance of Moses Itauma to defeat the ‘seasoned champion’ Dillian Whyte is to get him away in their main liner in Riyadh early Saturday night. If Itauma (12-0, 10 COs) does not record a knockout, Haye believes whye (31-3, 21 COs) will win a decision.

Why itauma should win early

“He started his career in an ideal way. His style is to search and destroy,” David Haye said BoxnationTalk about Moses Itauma, how he was brought along. “If I’m a bet man, I’ll go with Itauma early in the first four rounds, or I’ll drop it with Dillian Whyte on points.

With the way Queensberry Itauma matches, he could afford to fight on a ‘search and destruction’ because his opposition was horrible. The fighters who fought Itauma were garbage, and you can tell the guys that he fought that the intention is not about development. The goal was to create a record and generate a lot of hype.

“It will be a battle of two halves. It is the youth, energy, the speed and the confidence of a young, hungry fighter who does not know better against an experienced champion,” Haye said about Whyte. “He had a professional kickboxing career as well as 30 international kickboxing fights before doing his box.” So he could no longer be experienced in battle. ‘

Itauma has shown that he can move a lot if he opposes power. However, he does not have to do this in the pro ranks, because only two of his fights went beyond the second round. If he is forced to move for more than six rounds, he can get tired because he is thin and not built for a very mobile battle.

“I just hope Moses Itauma treats this battle as if it’s the hardest fight, because it’s going to be when Dillian arrives. After this fight, we will know if his firepower is related to the world scene, ‘Haye says about Itauma.

From amateur to pro -match

Moses will certainly take the struggle seriously, but we do not know if he can handle the power or some people can win. The opposition that Queensberry fed Itauma was an embarrassing bad. They matched him very much with the top ranking with Edgar Berlanga, who deliberately waged mediocre opposition to create hype. It is unknown whether it was the goal behind Queensberry that put itauma against tomato cans.

This is how itauma is connected as amateur. So they just continued the same routine as his amateur handlers did to him. Although Whyte was completely shot at 37, he is still better than the fighters who faced Itauma. If he was raised in Ukraine, he would have fought the best, and we would know if he was good now. But grew up in the UK, he had it easy.
