Did anyone watch Moses fight at Co-Op Live arena in Manchester, UK.

[One-One-Five]

The first punch put him to sleep, the second woke him up!!!

Itauma v Franklin: Moses Itauma knocks out Jermaine Franklin in Manchesterwww.bbc.co.uk

[QubitZero13]

What a punch! Moses is gonna slay everyone

[CosmicRay40]

Definitely a big puncher, but got the skills to match Usyk

[Craig]

lets not get ahead of ourselves yet. Moses may part the red sea in more ways than one in future but he is working on his craft

[Anchor99]

He will be dodged all 2026. People will be scared to fight him

[Marnie]

That is the nuanced version of it. Worth a longer look.

The difference between the top sides at this level is smaller than the league table makes it look.

The first punch put him to sleep, the second woke him up!!! Itauma v Franklin: M

That is worth it, agreed. Every bit helps at the moment.

[HeartbreakKidCurtis18]

That is a popular opinion but I think it is wrong. Injuries change everything and people forget to factor that in.

We will know soon enough.

Home advantage is still massive despite what people say

[BoxToBox18]

Moses is going to be a future world champion. I can't wait for his next bout

[Octopus]

Future world champion is a big shout, but it is hard not to get excited after a performance like that. The power, timing and confidence he showed against Franklin were impressive.

The thing that stands out is how relaxed he looks for someone so young. Plenty of fighters have power, but being able to stay calm and pick the right shots is what separates the good from the great.

[Daemon92]

Moses definitely looks like he has the tools to go a long way. The heavyweight division is always about timing though, and the step up from prospects to world level is where we find out who can really handle the pressure.

That said, you cannot ignore what he is doing. Knocking out an experienced opponent like Franklin sends a message, especially when he makes it look so easy.

[Kieron78]

The scary part is that he still seems to be improving every fight. A lot of young heavyweights rely purely on aggression, but Itauma already looks like he has a proper boxing brain as well.

Would love to see him tested against someone who can drag him into deep waters. That is usually when you learn the most about a fighter. Still, the future looks very exciting.

[Morpheus49]

There is a lot of hype around him now, but for once it feels understandable. Some prospects get pushed too quickly because people want the next big thing, but Moses has been putting together performances that deserve attention.

A world title shot will come eventually, but there is no need to rush him. Heavyweights can mature later, and giving him time could make him even more dangerous.

[Katie8]

The arena must have been rocking for that one. Manchester has always been a brilliant place for boxing crowds and nights like that are why people keep going back.

The knockout was spectacular, but the atmosphere around a rising star is something special too. Everyone in the building feels like they might be watching the start of something huge.

[Supernova Freddie]

The heavyweight division needed a fresh name and Moses has arrived at exactly the right time. The speed for his size is probably the thing that catches the eye most.

If he keeps developing and avoids the pressure that comes with all the attention, there is every chance he becomes a major figure in boxing. It is going to be fun watching the journey unfold

[Gareth_11]

Future champion? Maybe, but I would hold off on putting the belts around his waist just yet. We have seen plenty of exciting heavyweights look unstoppable early and then hit a wall when they meet someone awkward.

Still, that is not a criticism of Moses. The signs are very positive, and he has the kind of skill set that makes you want to see how far he can go. The next few fights will be fascinating.
