President WBO Gustavo Olivieri revealed that in the evening that Moses Ituma was raised to the first place in heavyweight rankings along with their organization after winning in the second round on the unknown Mike Balogun on Saturday evening in Glasgow in Scotland.

Fans in social media are critical of the WBO decision and perceive it as bizarre and are a sign Ituma receives favoring by their organization, because he was not defeated by any contenders. His 12 victories had a lower level fighters at the level, and he has not yet fought with a claimant to the best 15. After his fight he looked ecstatic with the ring.

Controversy growth of Ituma

This is another reason why sanctioning bodies must be withdrawn from boxing and replaced by the ranking body, which makes logical choices. Like, hell, Moses Itauma takes first place after he did not beat anything Tomato cans His whole two -year career? Does he ask too much to beat two of these killers to get their ranking No. 1 in WBO?

– Agit Kabayel
– Richard Torrez
– Bakhodir Jalalov
– Filip Hrgovic
– Martin Bakole

The way ITAUMA appeared against this person, Balogun, lost to the whole list. This is just a tiny list of rivals who would defeat Itauma.

It makes no sense that 20-year-old Ituma takes first place in WBO, because there is no victory over pretenders. Usually this is a requirement to transfer the warrior to position No. 1. They have at least one or two solid wins over the fighters at the highest level.

It seems that Ituma has been taken to the top, ignoring the role in which he should defeat the candidates to win ranking No. 1. When it comes to quickly placing him No. 1 so that he can fight Oleksandre Usyk before retiring, it is a waste of time.

Usyk will not fight him because he is interested in fighting Daniel Dubois and Tyson Fury before he retires. It will not give an undisturbed warrior, such as Ituma, a shot for the world champion.

In today’s fight Itauma (12-0, 10 KO) destroyed the 36-year-old Balogun footballer (21-2, 16 KO), who never defeated anyone noteworthy. His previous defeat in his CV was a knockout of the second round of Murat Gassiev in 2023. This was another example of Ituma tailored to the non-contact.

Criticism of Martin Bakole

“Yes, he was doing well, but they got him someone who was an asshole,” said Martin Bakole Social boxingResponding to the winning of Moses Itauma over Mike Balogun on Saturday evening.

“At a high level they have to give him a good test, because he is not called Martin Bakole fighting with such a butt. He must fight some high -quality people and try to test himself if he wants to become a world champion tomorrow.

“I never remember his name. I don’t know who he was,” Bakole said when he said that Ituma watched some of his fights and said that he looked like rubbish. “I’m thinking of getting five or six. I don’t know if she is 10 the best, but she is a boxer, hefty weight

Moses ITAUMA climbed WBO rankings with talents, discipline and electrifying performances. Now his moment around the world is approaching a heavyweight player. It is only a matter of time before he got his shot and the world appears a fresh star. #NEWER @Shoe

Edwin de Los Santos says that when he connects with one of his shots, his fight with the airy champion WBO Keyshawn Davis will “end” on the place on June 7. De los Santos (16-2, 14 KO) believes that Davis (13-0, 9 KO) will not be able to accept his power and will be destroyed.

Keyshawn vs. De los Santos will be the main range in Norfolk, Virginia. This is the hometown of Davis. So there can be a huge crowd of over 13,000 fans. The event will be shown live on ESPN and ESPN+.

From the promise of the saints

“If I connect, I don’t think the fight will continue because It will end– said Edwin de los Santos Warrior Asked what would happen to Keyshawn Davis if he lands well. “On June 7 I intend to take over this city,” said De Los Santos about a fight in the hometown of Davis in Norfolk on the scope arena.

Thanks to one power de los Santos could Koyshawn, if he landed purely as he did against Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela. I have the impression that Davis will not allow him to approach to land and will be on a bike from the opening bell. He will get many tips from his “brother” Shakur Stevenson, how to avoid de los Santos, remaining in motion and sticking to when he approaches.

“I’m not worried about the plans. I said that he would not run as Shakur did, but I’m not going to worry about it. We write him during the fight. He went out talking. He looked like he was on vacation. He wants to go on vacation. I go on and do what I do. My challenging work, you will see the results of this,” said De Los Santos.

Keyshawn was not on vacation. Suddenly he became wealthy and it changed him. It seems that since he recently became a millionaire, he stopped talking the same and seems more formal. He completely changed the way he carries himself, clearly pronouncing his words and without sounding penetrating. Not bragging about yourself as it used to be during interviews.

Keyshawna’s reluctance to engage

I almost hear a diminutive British accent, which begins to dig in a way that Americans accept their way of speaking when they receive an influx of money to become wealthy. Keyshawn became another person. This can affect his ability to fight, making him reluctant to engage like his “brother” Shakur. If Davis hesitated to become and fight, de los Santos may need to prosecute him around the ring, as he did with Stevenson in 2023. Davis would be better before he became one of Nouveau Riche.

“This is the reality. Everyone knows the skills and mobility of Shakur, distinguishes him from Keyshawn, and what he did in his fights,” said Edwin, defending his opinion that Shakur Stevenson is a technically better warrior than Keyshawn.

Davis should not upset that de los Santos thinks Shakur is a better warrior than he because it is a fact. Keyshawn is not a boxer or mover like Stevenson. We saw what Keyshawn is doing, in contacts with fighters who press. He holds, fights and uses gritty tactics. It’s great as long as he has a gentle judge who is ready to turn his head when he breaks the rules, but not all judges are like that.

“I have been studying him for a long time, but on the day of the fight we will know. We will go there and see what we have to do,” said De Los Santos about studying Keyshawn.

De los Santos should take the page out of the textbook Andy Cruz and the pressure on Keyshawn, as in four wins against him with amateurs. He fights in the same way as then. The only difference is that he fights with two divisions below his natural size, which is a welterweight.

Keyshawn should fight for 147 or 154, but he knows how challenging life would be against the killers, such as Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Constant pressure on Davis is a way if De los Santos is able to cope with the weight of 15+ pounds with which he will deal with. Keyshawn is lucky that they no longer have a disadvantage on the day of the fight, as before they were detained in the 1980s.

Mayweather support will not lend a hand

“This is good for Floyd. The modern generation that he supports, but this is nothing that will lend a hand him, because Mayweather will not give him four arms in the ring. He will not give him four legs. Mayweather will be outside, and Keyshaw will be in the ring,” said De los Santos, responding to Floyd Jr.

Mayweather will not try to change the 26-year-old Keyshawn combat style because it is already set. He cannot change the way he fights, even if Floyd Jr. He tried to make him in a copy of his style. Devin Haney has already copied the Mayweather fight approach and is perceived as one of the most lifeless warriors in the game. The last thing Davis wants to do is join him.

Josh Taylor lost for the third time in his career and has a great decision to make after losing to Ekow Essuman.

Taylor fought in his first performance at the welterweight limit after defeat with Jacek Cattell at 140 pounds.

Essuman gave the Scot everything he could do in Hydro and received a response to every tactic that Joe McNally tried to convey.

However, this was not Essuman, because Taylor had an advantage over the first five rounds. The Scot showed the flashes of his elderly self and Essumana hurt from time to time.

But the second half was all of Essuaman, and the Londonian probably won each of the last six.

Taylor, was the undisputed super lightweight champion, was stunned by the decision of the judges. The truth is that he did it far to nod. All three gave Essuman unanimously judgment 116-113, 116-112 and 115-113.

Karma returned to Taylor after his shocking win, which was never over Jacek Cattell in the same place.

After the fight, Essuman told Dazn: “Respect for Josh Taylor. I have always respected him since the GB team.

“I went to the lion. I remembered things from the time when in the GB team. Now I want the world championship title.

“I beat the undisputed master, and then I want the title of world champion. I did what I had to.”

Compubox Stats agreed with his decision.

“It was the story of two halves. Josh Taylor had a quick start and built an advantage, but Ekow Essuman was sturdy in the second half.

“Essuman landed 140 of 363, 22% in total blows, and Taylor landed 125 of 493, 25%. Finally, Taylor maintained an advantage of 117-115 in the blows, but many of them were done early.”
