Filip Hrgovic, a heavyweight contender, believes that Dilliam Whyte could cause a dismay of the untested 20-year-old Moses Itauma if he could get through the early onslaught to drag him into the later rounds.
Moses Itauma’s lack of experience
Whyte is easily the best fighter itauma has ever fought in the pre- and amateurs. Unlike fighters coming from deep amateur backgrounds, Itauma is a complete beginner. His amateur assignment, matches against opposition that were nowhere near.
The top amateur -Super -heavyweights during Itauma’s time in the amateurs;
- Bakhodhir Jalolov: Uzbekistan
- Richard Torrez JR: We
- Lenier but: Cuba
- Maammmad Abdullaayev: Azerbajan
- Kamshybek Kunkabayev: Kazakhstan
- Ayoub Ghadfa: Spain
Itauma (12-0, 10 COs) did not fight a lively body in its short two years pro-career, and the last decent amateur He fought before becoming professional was in 2022 against Stylianos Roulias. Some of the fighters who fought Itauma in the amateur ranking in his short time were Roulias the best. However, he was not one of the top super -heavyweights.
Itauma looked like a deer chased by a wolf against roulias. He was not happy to fight someone who had decent power, and was not intimidated by his potshots. Looking at that fight, Itauma didn’t look anywhere near the level of the top world level amateurs, such as Jalolov, Torrez, Pero and Kunkabayev. He was just a simple fighter with a low output.
“Can he win? Why not? I think if he endures the first few rounds and not trapped, he can put him in deep water, ‘Filip Hrgovic said Ring magazine about his belief that Dillian Whyte Moses can defeat Itauma if he drags himself into the later rounds.
Itauma’s knockout -set style
HRGOVIC is right. Itauma recorded its knockout early, loaded on single shots, tried to achieve one -time knockout. He always fought like that. He does not stay in the trenches and braai like Mike Tyson, which some fans compare him foolishly. Iauma fights nothing like ‘Iron’ Mike. These are all some shots. So, if Whyte can last until the second half of the fight, he can mix itauma, break him down to record a knockout.
Unlike his brother, Karol Itauma, Moses Wear a lot of braids around the edges From his waist. He has those Fury-Esque Hall Bags that is resistant to training. The weight will be an anchor for him in the second half of the battle when the pace and the pressure of Whyte begin to carry him.
This battle awakens the spirit in Whyte, knowing that he is being counted out by fans and is expected to strike out. You have to go back to Whyte’s fighting with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, where he doubts. Even then he was not counted as he is now.
