Promoter of Moses Itauma, Francis Warren, says that he is interested in Itauma (12-0, 10 KO), probably fighting with Otto Wallin or Jermaine Franklin, after the second technical knockout of Mike Baloguna last Saturday evening in Glasgow in Scotland.

Next ITAUMA fight options

Wallin lost two of the last four fights and is experiencing a 41-year-old journeyman Derek Chisor. Most fans would agree that Wallin would be a impoverished option for Itum to fight when it comes to developing him and give him. I have doubts whether it would be the goal of the management of Ituma in battle. The choice of Wallin, 34, would make itauma look good.

Francis also says he wants “Top 10“The opponent of Ituma in a bulky eliminator. The utilize of Wallin or Jermaine Franklin would not work if this path was followed. None of these journeymen were in the top ten by any of the four sanctioning bodies, and Franklin is not in the top 15.

Ituma is not ideal to go on an effortless way to become a must -have winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois. 20-year-old Ituma is not developed, and impoverished supplies are constantly performed for it. This is criticism of boxing fans about Ituma.

Creating a false star

Ituma looks like it was created to make it look better than he. The opposition stuck to the ring so that Moses suggested to fight Is produced Be a false star.

The problem of this type of fighters is that they must be protected throughout their career to stop them from losing. We just saw another false Fury, repeatedly beaten, when he finally approached for the first time at the end of his career against his first quality warrior, Oleksandr Utyk.

In order for Ituma to be developed in a real way, he should fight these warriors for the next two or three years:

– Joseph Parker
– Agit Kabayel
– Zhilei Zhang
– Jalolov Yalolov
– Richard Torrez Jr.
– flying
– Filip Hrgovic
– Fabio Wardley
– Martin Bakole

It does not seem that the leadership of Moses Itum is interested in matching him to any of these warriors, except for the miserably poorly conditioned 300-pound bacon. I doubt Ituma would beat up to half of the above warriors, because he was hit and looked like Mike Balogun’s former NFL player last night.

Matchmaking: Smoke & Mirrors

“We want to fight someone in the top ten, and it would be an eliminator. I’m sure we’ll be able to do it,” said Francis Warren Boxnation About the next fight of Moses Itaum. “I think Otto Wallin would be great Fight for him next. “

Wallin would be a terrible choice because he can’t hit, a failure of Chisora ​​and probably would not give ituma rounds. Otto was knocked out in five rounds by Anthony Joshua in 2023. He was dropped twice by the washed Chisor in February last year. This tells you everything you need to know why Wallin would be chosen for the next opponent of Itum. It is an effortless sign and would not be a threat to the disclosure of 20-year-old Moses.

“Otto proved that he is a very strong, difficult opponent who gained respect from the boxing community because of the work he did against Tyson [Fury]Anthony [Joshua]Francis said. “He gave Derek [Chisora] A great fight and for Moses who wants to get a little is probably a great challenge. Jermaine Franklin is another one that I particularly like the appearance. By the end of the year, we will want to accelerate it much. “

Franklin has lost two of the last four fights and is not a ranking. ITAUMA management should be intentional higher than he and Wallin. Again, they should focus on matching Ituma to warriors such as Kabayel, Torrez Jr, Jalolov, Dubois, Ajagba and Wardley. If Ituma loses with these guys, his promoters can focus on developing him more. Until now, zero development has been made. He is fed with tomato cans to make it look great, but it is obvious that it is smoke and mirrors.

Bakole: not the level of ituma

“We get number 1 from WBO,” said Francis about the fact that Ituma is moved to the first place by the World Boxing Organization. “It is the best of WBA. It is, so we sit nicely with two organizations and I think it depends on us when we want to pull the trigger to raise our hands to go to the next stage.”

It is surprising that Ituma was raised to number 1 with WBO after he was a warrior without TOP 15, Balogun. How is this happening? Ituma has not yet fought with a pretender and probably should not be arranged at the highest level, taking into account the impoverished opposition he mowed. Ituma is matched, like Edgar Berlanga, when he promoted him the highest rank. At the beginning of his careers, they fed 16 unyielding, allowing him to create a 16-0 record with 16 knockouts. When he approached the journeymen, he began to fight and soon left the company. Ituma is moved like him.

“Choosing Martin Bakole is a large mistake. Even Frank [Warren] He knows that I am not his level – said Martin Bakole for boxing TalkSport, he explains that he considers Moses Itauma as under his level at which he works. “I can’t wait to fight for the world championship title. If I want to fight me, I don’t know why I would fight him. For what?”

The Caleb Plant will defend his transient WBA 168-Funt strap before Jose Armando Resendiz in the main event, and Jermall Charlo will come out of Mothballs to fight the talented Thomas Lamanna on May 31, live at the PBC championships, boxer Boking Prime Video in the event that will start at 20:00 et/5: 00 pm pm pm pm pm pm pm pm Fri PT Ultra Arena. TThe card fought at 20:00 et, 14:00 UK time. This event will be available in Prime Video and is part of the non -PPV event.

Road to a great fight?

Plant and Jermall take uncomplicated presentation fights to prepare them for fighting. The point is that they look like pure gold, beating their opponents of a low level, to tighten the appetite on fans, and then establish a clash of PPV between them this year. Plant vs. Charlo is still not a great fight for salary. He focuses more on fans who remember these two when they were at the top of their game.

The only problem is that these two warriors are considered terrible mismatching without hope for competition. It is understandable why the 35-year-old former world champion with two divisions Jermall Charlo (33-0, 22 KO) decides to fight Lamanna (39-5-1, 18 KO), taking into account that he fought only once from 2021.

Thanks to such inactivity, Jermall needs tuning, because he was not from the ring for too long and he has not lived in the Spartan lifestyle over the years. You would like to think that Charlo has been training for years, remaining busy, but unfortunately not.

Tuning time

Critic here is the former master of IBF super master, because he was busy and is already coming out of the fight on September 14 last year against Trevor McCumba. The plant does not need another fight for a heated -up. He should face a high ranking, such as Oslyys Iglesias, but of course we know why he doesn’t fight him.

“On May 31 I come to the show and I leave no doubt that I am one of the best in the world,” said Plant.

“I know it will be a challenging fight, but I will prepare as challenging as possible to win and devote this win to my beloved Mexico,” said RESENDIS.

Mike Balogun in hefty weight says that IBF champion Daniel Dubois will have “”retrospective “ Against the unified master with three lanes, Oleksandr Usyk after a few “rounds of reminders” and quickly collapsed in the rematch on July 19 at a Wembley Stadium in London.

False trust in Dubois

He believes that Dubois’s last victories over Anthony Joshua, Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller gave him false confidence that would not facilitate him against Utyk (23-0, 14 KO). These flashbacks of his battle against Utyk will return when he is sent to the front and measure him again.

Many fans stupidly jumped on Dubois fashion after his victory over AJ with AJ in September last year and naively believe that he had improved. This is not reality. Dubois (22-2, 21 KO) is still the same warrior he was earlier and will fall apart mentally when Usyk hit him. These flashbacks are sometimes for life and there is nothing that his promoters can do beyond that than by matching it carefully as Tyson Fury was before retiring.

“It is hard to go against Uyek when there are already beaten guys. I feel that he has already broken the will of Dubois, and I feel that this is the key to win the fight for the championship,” said Mike Balogun to SecondsChoosing Oleksandr Usyk to defeat Daniel Dubois in a rematch on July 19 in London.

Usyk has already shown that he hits tough enough to hurt Dubois and make him throw him. Although Oleksandr is not seen as a great puncher, he shows that he has more than sufficient power to knock out or hurt them when it uses them. We saw it against Dubois in 2023, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Dubois’s impact resistance is probably worse than these two.

Daniel is more susceptible to stopping because he loses confidence, falls mentally like a broken egg shell and gives up a ship. He would prefer to give up when it is hard than to fight your teeth and nails to go out to his shield. There is a weakness of the mind that it is and will always be. Dubois surrendered to one knee Joe Joyce in the fight he won.

In the fight of Dubois with the former Cevin Lerena’s cruiser weight in December 2022 he was dropped three times in the first round. However, the round ended 11 seconds earlier, while Dubois was still counted. This basically saved him from knocking out. Lerena would have enough time to drop it for the fourth time if the action resumed. You have it as a loss for Dubois.

Dubois’s mental weakness

“When you can break the guy’s will to win, to want to fight you in a way to change the fight, I feel like he [Usyk] I have already done that, said Bologun. “If he stops him in the ninth round, the beginning of this fight [the rematch] He would have a ten round. “

Daniel has a problem that Usyk will stay in battle long enough to get to his frail chin, tap him, discourage him and force him to throw him or knock out. As I mentioned, Dubois’s knockout doesn’t do much. This jaw is made of glass. It is powerful, but fine at the top, and it will be in a rematch. The chin are not better for fighters as aging.

“Dubois won some good victories, but I don’t think it changed the fight with Usyk as a result. Absolutely not,” said Bologun, asked if Dubois’s victory over Anthony Joshua increased his confidence to defeat Usyk.

At the age of 35, Joshua is not near the warrior when he was in 2013 after his controversial winning of the Golden Medal at the Olympic Games in 2012. At the beginning he was always a shaky hefty weight, but now it is not close to what he was 12 years ago. Dubois’s victory does not mean anything because he did not fight Vintage Joshua.

This version is defeated in relation to almost each of the teenage sharks in the division. Dubois was simply the one who fought him. It could have been any other; They would do the same for AJ.

Rounds of reminders are released by flashbacks

“I do not think that in this case these wins without a shadow of a doubt, I believe that these victories absolutely made him more confident, and the fight is certainly necessary, regardless of who you are fighting. [Dubois] may have confidence, but the skill [of Usyk will be a problem].

“I mean a few of these reminders are enough he, to have these flashbacks, And he can agree. As I said, this time, it is easier to break it, “said Balogun.

Mike is right that everything you need is “a few rounds of reminders” so that the flashbacks will start Dubois against Usyk, and give up again. ‘The upcoming events cast their shadows earlier.“Dubois will do what he did before when he began to be hit by Uyk and his career will be in rubbish.
