One 2x10 round chick fight & 6 round HW to go I think
They might stall..

Give it after 10 pm..

They probably didn’t expect Bentleys fight go end that quick.

This Moses fight is the worst type of fight. A total no hoper that's just there to see how long he can take a beating for.

At least we’re actually getting a look at Moses, after those last two flops.

True, very average. Still young, but world title talk is silly when he can't stop a defenceless factory worker.

Moses is hittable. Can see a flash knockdown when he steps up if he don’t tighten up when he unloads.

For all the hype around Moses, he's being made to look ordinary by this sweating blob

Personally I think Itauma looks very good indeed. Bags of potential to work with.

Wouldn't expect full power from an 18yo, but his output's been low for someone that young.

I thought at the beginning of the last round Moses seemed to be wincing, looks like he has picked up a hand injury.

Needs more fitness for me, else he'll run into exhaustion in a competitive fight.

Throwing both hands plenty in the last.


Credit to the Ukrainian. Some saying they don’t like him. I actually do, very limited offensively but I felt like he forced a certain pace out of Itauma.

I actually was impressed with Itauma’s engine, he can definitely do 8 rounds facing limited offence coming back.

It was actually a sensible measured performance for a teenager against a seasoned pro who does not get knocked out.

Tough fella not sure he would have taken 18 year old Tyson the distance though, bit of perspective. Moses looks decent though.

For his age and limited Am experience, yeah he has potential.
Those quick combinations, the body hooks- all pretty decent.
