The coach of Moses Itaum provides the status of #1 pound per pound, but critics demand that he proved himself

Coach Ben Davison believes that his warrior, a 20-year-old massive Moses Itauma, may become the first in Great Britain.

A great vision of the trainer

Davison doesn’t say when he thinks it’s possible. He mentions the potential fight for Itauma with the undisputed heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk as a match that could scold Kežmarok, born in Slovakia Itauma first in pounds for pounds.

It would be nice if the ITAUMA promoters begin to match it to younger heavyweight with real talents, instead of sticking to the elders who are Ready for scrap metalas we saw him many times. He has a plastic record, impressive at first glance, but when you look at the opposition he fought, there is nothing.

With the victories in Moses’ CV belongs to the bottom of the rankings, not in the first place, and his trainer artificially pumps him to get a pound status for a pound. His previous achievements are purely superficial.

Flimsy record iTauma

For a warrior who received so much noise and received a high ranking No. 1 from WBA and WBO, it is surprising that he is still fighting heavyweight at level C and D. Rate himself. This is the last six opponents of Ituma:

  • Dillian Whyte: 37
  • Mike Balogun: 41
  • Demey McKEAN: Nicked in the last fight
  • Mariusz Wach: 45
  • Ilja Mesce
  • And Garber: 40

“I don’t think this country [UK] He ever produced the best boxer in the world. I think we have the opportunity to do it. In heavyweight, except that we are talking about us fighting Usyk, in a British heavyweight, to be the best best boxer for pounds in the world, that’s what we have when it comes to Moses Itaum, “said coach Ben Davison to make Boxing TalkSport For his warrior, Moses Itauma.

Pound path for a pound

Before Davison wonders that Ituma is the best massive weight in the Milky Way Galaxy, it would be nice to see how he is still fighting with some massive at A level, right? Before Moses Itauma received the title of world champion on a silver plate against Uyk, I would like to see how he cut his teeth on this compact glove to see if he is ready for the king:

  1. Joseph Parker
  2. Fabio Wardley
  3. Lenier, but
  4. Filip Hrgovic

Well, if people from the Ring magazine panel are the same those who pushed Terenka Crawford to 1 pound for a pound after a narrow, non -spectacular victory over Canelo Alvarez last weekend, Ituma has a great chance to get the place in the first place.

It probably won’t happen until Crawford retires or beaten, unless Ituma does something spectacular. I have the impression that Bud will remain in this highest place, and can even sit in the position for the next year, if he decides to remain inactive for 13 months, his custom in the last two years.

Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyus Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News

"Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyu's Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News"

Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.

Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.

Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.

Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.

“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.

“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.

“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”

Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.

Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight

"Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight"

Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.

The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.

It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.

Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.

“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.

“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.

“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”

While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
