    I just watched Moses Itauma being interviewed by Ariel Helwani.
    For someone so young he really comes across well and is so humble. Nothing to dislike about him at all, which is unusual for a boxer.
    I’m afraid to say you’ve never interviewed or been interviewed superclive so your opinion is unfortunately invalid…
    Hilarious. 
    I accept that I am unqualified to comment!

    I agree with this - Moses is a well grounded young man with the world at his feet.
    It was also the first time I've heard Fabio Wardley speak at length - intelligent guy who comes across really well, and with a keen sense of humour.
    Wardley does talk well. I just get the feeling with him that he thinks that he's better than he actually is.

    I think that applies to the vast majority of fighters.

    I suppose until they get beaten and any limitations are exposed, they are entitled to feel that way.
    Plenty feel that way even after that happens.

    just watched the Moses fight. that uppercut was something else. would of taken down most. one of the commentators on DAZN, don't know his name, irish sounding bloke, but was upset that the ref didn't stop it before that, i thought the ref was fine and reacted as quickly as he could to stop the fight. 

    Overall i thought Moses was good but Franklin was not up to his level. Look forward to Moses taking on better boxers as I wasn't sure of his hands, as they were quite low for most of the fight and his footwork. though he does look like the real deal. 

    oh though I did box as a kid but not professionally so take my comments above as a irrelevant if you wish..

    If something will keep you humble its living where him and his family do. I go past their home most days and if Kent is the garden of England and Chatham, maybe unfairly gets the reputation of being the rotten cabbage in the compost heap of the garden then Luton is the maggot in the cabbage. Which is a huge shame as it used to be a nice part of the town. Now all HMO's, shite takeaways

    Moses Itauma has certainly made an impact and at 21 he has the je ne sais quoi and star dust to go far.

    Slovakian mum and Nigerian dad seem to produce athletes with brother Karol also a boxer and brother Sam is playing for Sevenoaks when the games don't clash with Moses fights where you will see Samuel in the corner as part of Team Itauma.

    We know Moses has a big punch and if he has a strong chin then he can have a good career amongst the big lads.
