Whyte is shot to bits, but at the same time, it's a big step for Itauma. I'm thinking Whyte is too much gone, and Moses disposes of him early. Itauma KO4. Usyk, OTOH, is all wrong for Moses, a bad style matchup for him even if we disregard experience.

Looks like Moses might be on fast track for Usyk. I feel for Parker, but Itauma Usyk will sell like crazy in the UK with proper marketing. Or maybe feed Moses someone harmless aka Hrgovic and let Parker have his deserved fight with Usyk.

Former world champion Ricky Hatton has died at the age of 46.

His body was found at his home in Manchester on Sunday.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: "Officers were called by a member of the public to attend Bowlacre Road, Hyde, Tameside, at 6:45am today where they found the body of a 46-year-old man.

"There are not currently believed to be any suspicious circumstances."

More to follow.

Sad stuff, but not especially unusual in boxing. He had some issues.

MF did it, what a beautiful boxer Terrence is.
I’m not surprised at all, Terence Crawford aside of being a great boxer, he is highly intelligent in the ring. Really does well at reading his opponents in the first 3 rounds. So happy Bud won. I never liked Canelo.

Granted I was worried for Bud, jumping two weight classes, as it was already Canelo’s walk around weight. Again Bud was intelligent and ready to expose his weaknesses.

I’m sure Warren Buffet was elated as well. He always attended his matches.

I know that Bud is great, but weight classes are weight classes, and it's not like Canelo is some John Ruiz semibum. Canelo is great too. On top of that, except for arguably Porter and/or Mean Machine, Bud's CV was not that impressive. Not his fault, of course, just a lack of talent in his division. So for me, it was always "he looks amazing, but how good he really is"? Now there is no question, he is fucking amazing.
