Moses Itauma

[Guest]

Anybody watch his fight last night? Early days in his career but he's some prospect. Got the speed of a middleweight and put Franklin (who'd never been knocked down) flat on his face. Nice to see an exciting new heavyweight coming through, shame he won't have any decent opponents. He's also going to be avoided like the plague by the current big names I'd have thought, he's an absolute nightmare to fight

Apparently Franklin’s cornerman was having a pop at the ref for stopping it too early

Re: Moses Itauma

Yea saw it. He is an exciting fighter. I'd like to see him against someone that will put him under more pressure and maybe test his stamina a bit.

I'm sure I heard he was right handed but fights as a southpaw, can believe it looking at the speed of the jab he has.

Lovely finish even if Franklin was asking for the uppercut.

Fair play to Franklin mind, way he fell I didn't think he was going to be moving for a while but he was up quickly and soon complaining he didn't receive the count.

The commentator said that Itauma must have hit him so hard that he concussed the cornerman as well

Yeah he does need that, I think that was the plan last night mind being that Franklin's gone the distance with some big punchers

To be fair he took some big shots in first couple of rounds and did well to make it to Round 5. No coming back from that uppercut though.

I've only just managed to get a look at the fight. Wow, he has seriously fast hands and can bang!
Hard to believe he's only 21.
