00:00Ladies and gentlemen, here is the reigning and defending WBO Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, Moses Etomo!
00:23Right lads, you both know the rules, so let's just have a good clean fight, okay?
00:27Most of all, remember to defend yourselves at all times, alright?
00:30Just gloves.
00:57Let's go!
01:27Oh, absolutely.
01:57His ability to make it is undiminished.
02:01Talking about the current champions being in their thirties and saying, listen, once they're coming to the end of their career, I reckon I'll be able to take them all.
02:14Well, he started really well here.
02:16What's really impressive about Moses is his hand speed for a heavyweight.
02:21There's not too many with hands as fast as his.
02:28I mean, he's only a kid, he's still a baby, we've got to remember that.
02:32He's still an unproven fighter, but he's an unbelievable talent.
02:40I think it's quite plain to see that that has clearly loaded on a bit of weight over the last couple of years.
02:48And there may be a lot of target there, but there's also a lot of target to absorb.
02:54I don't know, there's maybe not a scientific reason for this, but I always feel like the guys with a lot of flubber around the midriff take a body shot a little bit better, actually.
03:05That might be the case here tonight, who knows.
03:12He's inviting Tama onto him at the end of a confident first round here.
03:24And there's no doubt that he will have seen all the publicity, he knows the power that Tama possesses.
03:37He's such a wily operator, he's got strength of his own.
03:42That counter's really good, you know, Tembo, when he's kind of just waxed through on that and he's just stabbing outside it and landing the jab.
03:49Lovely job of him.

04:43He was undefeated for seven years, which is what from 2005 to 2012, which is what got him the vibe with the creature in the first place.
05:00And you look at the people that beat him, it was only Povetkin in the following five years after that.
05:05He spent a long time in his career where he wasn't getting beaten.
05:09That all, of course, changed back in November 2017, since he's only won five fights since then.
05:18At a point, he was probably seen as a bit of a gatekeeper for world level.
05:23I'd say at this stage of his career, he's probably a gatekeeper for European level.
05:28But again, like we said, I think if Moses Tama, that was a lovely shot.
05:33If he can get rid of someone like Mariusz Brak at any stage in the fight, I think it's a statement.
06:03He was really good about that combination. He was going forward, but he was going up and down to the body and head.
06:08He didn't know where the attacks were coming from then.
06:18Something else that I've learned about Moses over the last few months is apparently he is a real student of the game.
06:26Like always watches boxing, always watches the old fighters, studies it flat out.
06:31He knows what he wants to do in this game. He knows he wants to be a world champion.
06:35I think the kid will do everything he can to make sure he achieves his dream.
07:01Feel the power. Delivered the power. And he might end this before the end of this round here.
07:06Plenty of time left.
07:09And there's been a look of genuine fear in the eyes of Brak since the start of this fight.
07:15And he cannot fend his man off. And the referee is going to stop it.
07:19And rightly so. That was taking considerable punishment.
07:22And there was nothing coming back.
07:25It's another very, very brief viewing of the future of the heavyweight division.
07:31And the man they're calling the most exciting man in British boxing at the moment.
07:36Absolutely. I mean I just made a statement about Dennis McCann previous to this saying that
07:41probably the best British performance I've seen this year.
07:45Most of the time I may have topped it.
07:48I mean, we know where Vak's at at this stage of his career.
07:52He's not the fighter that he used to be.
07:54But to blow a guy away like Marius Vak in say two rounds as a young man, as a smaller heavyweight.
08:02An incredible performance again.
08:09That is absolutely incredible from Moses Itama.
08:17Let's have a look at the way he finished that.
08:30Look at how he's switching the shots. Going to body and head.
08:34Not getting carried away with anything.
08:37Knows what he wants to do.
08:40And the problem with that for Vak is he's no idea what's happening.
08:45When the kid's punching from all angles, you're getting nailed to the body.
08:49And then once coming over the top and landing on your ear.
08:52This kid has it all in front of him.
08:55British boxing's not in a bad place at the minute, is it Tim?
08:59Yeah, he wanted out of there at that point I think.
09:03Because he knew that there was no way back.
09:08And all he was going to do was take unnecessary punishment.
09:12Unnecessary punishment is a good decision by the referee to step in.
09:16But what a performance.
09:19Rhythm, symmetry, sumptuous display of punching power from Moses Itama.
09:26We've said this, it really was a statement.
09:30To win this fight and do it so quickly.
09:33Massive, massive statement.
09:35I think the world heavyweight scene is already on notice of this kid.
09:38They all know about him, they all know who he is.
09:41I think they'll all be a little bit more concerned after watching that.
09:44He doesn't make blasé statements, does he?
09:47But that quote, which I mentioned earlier when he said the current champion's all in their 30s.
09:52One's coming up, I reckon I can do all of them.
09:55I think he's probably right, isn't he?
09:57Yeah, I mean he has a good show to beat them all.
09:59All of them.
10:01But he's still young.
10:03The mad thing is, he's still an improved fighter.
10:07The official decision.
10:15Ladies and gentlemen, here is the official time.
10:192 minutes 30 seconds of round number 2.
10:23Our referee in charge, Michael Alexander, steps in to stop the contest.
10:29Therefore, the winner by way of technical knockout.
10:34Still undefeated.
10:36And still WBO Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion.
10:43Moses Edelman.
10:52So still WBO Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion.
10:56The big question is, where does he go next?
10:58You would like to see him in with somebody that is maybe going to take him a few more rounds.
11:04Well, look, I think the problem now is finding opponents for Moses Edelman.
11:08You'll have guys who are seen as gatekeepers, like Marius Vak, happy to take fights because they're getting paid.
11:15But I think we're going to see the best version of Moses Edelman when he's in against someone who's trying to win.
11:22How are you going to get someone like that? Who wants to fight this kid?
11:26I don't know. I'm literally scratching my head.
11:29Maybe a Dillian wife. Is that a good opponent?
11:32Where he's in the house.
11:34He's here, yeah. I think that's probably the sort of direction that he can go for.
11:40That could be a top of the belt fight. I don't know if he's just made a fight there. Maybe a half.
11:50Moses Edelman.
