Shakur Stevenson views Moses Itauma through an optimistic lens, assuming the prospect will inevitably bounce back to capture a world title. That best-case scenario ignores a much darker reality. The ninth-round stoppage against Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF belt may have permanently ruined the young heavyweight.
Stevenson shared his thoughts online: “Unbelievable Talent and skills, He’s young and will be a champion one day if he learn from that.. He throws every punch at 100 mph, and that can be a gift and a curse, especially in the heavyweight division!!”
He overlooks Moses’ basic flaws that are more serious than poor punch selection
