Wbo’s Moses will bite number 1: A farce?

The President of the WBO, Gustavo Olivieri, revealed tonight that Moses Ituma was elevated to the number 1 in the heavy weight ranking with his organization after his second round victory over the unknown Mike Balogun on Saturday night in Glasgow, Scotland.

Social media fans are critical of WBO’s decision and see it as strange and a sign of ITAUMA RECEIVER OF FAVORITY For its organization because it has not passed any contestant. His twelve wins have been against the low-level fighters and he still has to fight a Top-15 contestant. He sought to smuggle inside the ring after his fight.

The controversial increase of ituma

This is another reason why sanctioning bodies need to be eliminated from boxing and replaced by a classification body that takes logical options. As it is on Earth that Moses Ituma ranked # 1 after beat anything tomato cans your entire two -year career? Are you asking too much that Ituma defeats two of these murderers to get their number 1 ranking with WBO?

– Agit Kabayel
– Richard Torrez
– Bakhodir Jalalov
– Philip Hrgovic
– Martin Bakole

The way ituma acted against this person, Balogun, would lose to the whole list. This is just a short list of contenders that would surpass Ituma.

It makes little sense that the 20 -year -old ituma is classified at # 1 with WBO because it has no victories about contestants. This is usually a requirement for a fighter at the number 1 position. At least one or two solid wins on top -notch combatants have at least.

It seems that Ituma has rushed to the top, jumping the part where it is supposed to overcome the contestants to obtain the ranking number 1. If the idea is to place it quickly #1 so that I can fight Oleksandr before it retires, it is a waste of time.

Usyk will not fight it because he is only interested in fighting Daniel Dubois and Tyson Fury before he retires. He will not give an undesitous fighter like Ituma a world title.

In the struggle tonight, Ituma (12-0, 10 kos) destroyed the 36-year-old Balogun (21-2, 16 kos) football player, who had never beat anyone. His pre -resume defeat was a second round by Murat Gassiev in 2023. This was another example of ituma that coincided with a non -container.

Martin Bakole’s criticism

“Yes, he did well, but they got someone who is a blow,” said Martin Bakole to Social boxingreacting to Moses Ituma’s victory over Mike Balogun on Saturday night.

“At the high level, they have to do -a good test because it is not Moses who calls Martin Bakole fighting a blow like this. He has to fight some quality people and try to try -if he wants to be a world champion tomorrow.

“I never mention his name. I don’t know who he is,” Bakole said when he told him that Ituma saw some of his fights and said he looked rubbish. “I’m thinking of getting five or six. I don’t know if it’s one of the top ten, the first 20, but it’s a boxer, a heavy weight

Moses Ituma has risen in the Wbo ranking with talented, discipline and electrifying actions. Now the heavyweight weight contender number 1, its time is approaching. It is only a matter of time before it is fired and the world sees that a new star arises. #Newera @Shoe
