Promoter Frank Warren says Moses Itauma has the power to strike someone in the division, including the United Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Ulsyk, if he lands clean. Warren has not yet decided whether Itauma (12-0, 10 COs) will fight at the USKyk against Daniel Dubois card on July 19 at Wembley Stadium. They have to decide and who Itauma (20) will fight next.
Fan -longdedness over Itauma’s progress
Fans become impatient with the progress made in Itauma’s career because he still does not fight against the world -class opposition. More importantly, he strikes everyone within two rounds, and yet he is not strengthened. Some people compare Itauma’s development with super -middleweight Edgar Berlanga. They consider it a formula for Create a false Marketable star.
On social media, fans want Itauma to fight one of these fighters next:
– Filip Hrgovic
– Zhilei Zhang
– Fabio Wardley
– Bakhodir Jalalov
“We’re going to make a decision this week. We have a few things to sort out, ‘Frank Warren said Talksport Boxing Asked whether Moses will fight Itauma on July 19, Oleksandr utilityk against Daniel Dubois undercard at Wembley Stadium.
“That’s not what Moses will make itauma. He’s past it, “Frank says about a fight between Moses and Martin Bakole. “He is too slow, he is too thoughtful, and if you are hit by him, you must be arrested because you are peeking. We will do what we have to do in our own time and our own way. ‘
If not Bakole, who will fight Itauma next in July? Francis Warren mentions Jermaine Franklin and Otto Wallin. Those guys are no better than bakole. Even the obese 310 -pound baking colors, which were knocked out in two rounds by Joseph Parker last February, are better than the guys. If Itauma fights next against Wallin or Franklin, it tells you everything you need to know about him. He is not developed. He is protected.
Itauma’s power to damage USKyk
“I think someone he’s beating, someone in the heavyweight section, if he catches it, will harm it,” Warren said of 20-year-old Itauma. “If he caught usyk, he would knock him out. I generally believe it. But he still needs a few fights and a little more development. He does (Itauma) what he has to do and deal with the right way. “
Itauma is more like a British version of Murat gas, but with a more one -hand approach. USYK dominated gas and easily surpassed him to win a 12-round decision in 2018. Unlike Itauma, GasieV has power in both hands, but he couldn’t do anything against Utility.
I don’t think itauma will catch usky enough for him to strike him out. He only has a left hand. You can see when he is about to throw it. Utility would choose Itauma apart, go to school with his boxing skills and experience. The problem Moses has is that he was not developed by his promoters at all.
Itauma turned pro to a short time pro 24 struggle Amateur career. He does not have all the great talents in the amateur ranks that the Olympic gold medalist did in 2012. In contrast, Oleksandr 335 had amateur fights. Itauma really has its amateur career now, but he doesn’t fight the talented opposition against which fighters compete. He is introduced with Ham & Eggers, and there seems to be some resistance to strengthen him against the opposition of the highest level. If you see that a fighter constantly matches their promoters against tomato cabinets, this is a red flag.
Will itauma rule a long time?
“If he won the world title, he will be the youngest Briton to win a world title, any world title for sure. More importantly, he will rule for a long time. He is 20 years old. He has not yet aged as a man. He is 254 pounds on Saturday and he moves like a light heavyweight, “Warren says about Itauma.
The only way Itauma can win a world title was to wait by USKYK until he evacuated the WBA ‘ordinary’ belt held by 44-year-old Kubrat Pulev. It is likely to be the option for Itauma – to wait for utilityk until it retires. However, Itauma is lacking the talent to “rule long”, as Warren predicts. He can only rule if he is protected with careful matchmaking to avoid the killers in the division who would expose his one -dimensional offense.
Moses already looks soft at 250+ pounds, and as he gets older, he will attract more weight, fat, slow and easier to hit. Normally, fighters at 20 are not so big. This is a bad sign for a young person at Itauma’s age, who weighs a soft 254. I see how he slows down and becomes in a wavy fighter like another Andy Ruiz as he gets older.
