Never seen someone take a such heavy falls as Balogun and then get up 8 seconds later. Did it 3 times.
Yeah, that was a bit Tyson Fury the way he jumped up from that finishing shot

Good performance and all but I think I'm going to have to mute the commentary for his next fight.

Oh God, it’s a shame with quality like Barry jones they go and ruin it with SYCOPHANTS like Dev and the bonehead Adam Smith

Good performance from Itauma there. My first look at him. Solid talent for sure.

Really, really impressive at this level, 41 year old American footballer.
He did come round give it a go to be fair, but seriously surely a better test is needed.

Still Waters run deep, he’s quietly impressive Moses, I was watching an interview with him the other day, he’s got no accent at all and then switches to perfect Slovakian.
F*cking hell can he hit
Moses The Slovakian Slugger

And that's exactly what he is , the gushing over him is cringe.

I'd like to see Moses in with Richard Torrez in a few more fights.
Style-wise it would be interesting.

We need to see what happens when he takes some big shots, but Moses is ready to be a big star.

Lot of smoke being blown up Moses' arse here.
YES - he is the top HW prospect and that's a big deal, but he really has fought nobody.
I always get carried away with hyped prospects

and he'll clearly go far, but c'mon. Even' I'm like, lets see him fight someone with a pulse...

The only way that fight would ever happen without a world title on the line is if our dear friend in Saudi Arabia decrees it

Might be a good idea to put him up against a guy who has decent power, but a known stamina issue. Plenty of those types at Heavyweight.

The fight before that was even worse. That Brazilian guy was clearly giving no effort whatsoever to win. I know that's common for Prospects in the U.K.
But once they get beyond 10 fights, it's time to start putting them in against people that should give them some kinda fight.
In fairness to Itauma. The guy he was fighting seemed like a legit opponent on paper.

That would be fantastic, in a fight or twos time...
As above, we know it won't happen.

He certainly looks OK but his opponent was.nt exactly a world beater . Suppose we will find out over the next few fights .doubt they will be able to keep him at this level for long

Who is the lowest ranked HW that you think, "he's favourite to beat Moses?"

Scores for this - should be a close nip-and-tuck, maybe even a draw.
