Who cares? Sparring is just that, sparring. Can we limit the filler pieces, Boxingscene?

It's hard to call Moses still a prospect , he seems that good but there's a way to go and lots to learn .Difficult to match this guy , but they are talking about a special talent who at this time makes it all look so easy. It looks at this stage that only the very top guys will test him .So excited about this one.

There have been no fights worth the mention in January, what's a guy gonna write up? Besides, I enjoyed the piece. Just skip the articles with the word 'sparring' in the title.

Moses is young but in actuality if you look at what he can do in the ring? He's roughly where Parker was before he jelled. The kid is very talented. I wouldn't match him with a monster like Bakole yet but it's hard to think of a heavyweight right now that would outclass even at his level of experience.

It's just the attitude these days... I wish I could talk to this kid and encourage him. Tell him to fight anybody and everybody. When he's training? Ty one hand behind his back and learn how to deal with pressure of all sorts. He has incredible natural ability compared especially to what passes as a heavyweight these days. If he can just accept he might not maintain a goose egg and fight all commers he could be a fantastic talent.

But alas the bean counters, satanic Bob arum, sweet smelling Eddie hearn the landscape is littered with boxings version of a c o c k block. Who will convince this kid no doubt to go slowly and make sure any foibles are only apparent later in his career.

The old Devin Haney who I admired fought everybody... Before you was exposed at least. That was a good thing about Devon I always admired.

If this was 1924 or so, and Moses family was waiting for dinner I can guarantee you this kid would buzz off through 90% of the stiffs in this division right now. And he would be better for it. The only person he needs to avoid right now is Martin Bakole... And he will be ready for him soon enough.

I enjoyed the article. Tyson Fury has proclaimed Moses "the next big thing" or "the future champion" so I assume he gave Tyson all he can handle in sparring as well (or should I say ass whooping).

Can't wait to see him fighting someone who can fight back.

Come on Turki, throw some money at Kubrat Pulev and put together Pulev-Moses in time for Moses to break Tyson’s record.

GB been producing some neat HW talent for the past years, Itauma is that one new kid on the block. Looking forward watch him fight at the top levels.

Itauma KO's Okolie and maybe even Dubois, who has been knocked out before.

We don't know how well Itauma takes a big punch. The best way is not to even find out and don't get hit big.
