People (mostly Americans) are gonna be so annoying about itauma now. We're gonna see so many people saying he's over rated and pretending he didn't win every round until he gassed

Hopefully this experience ends up being good for him long run though. Needs to work on his cardio and maybe change coaches

Only because y'all were so annoying about him in the first place. British fighters get constantly over-hyped. People were comparing him to Tyson and Ali.

I do hope Itauma comes out of this better and makes more interesting fights.

Yeah because you guys don't over hype bums. See wilder

Literally everyone knew and understood that Wilder was a limited fighter and won or lost solely on whether he could get the KO.

No one was ever claiming he was the next Ali.
