In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, we’re going to find out a bit more about powerful heavyweight contender Moses Itauma. The undefeated 20-year-old KO artist takes on Dillian Whyte in the main event of today’s Riyadh Season bout.
I’ll have the results for every fight on the card. Here’s a breakdown of the card with the results filled in as the fights complete.
Stay tuned for all of the updates.
- Moses Itauma (12-0) vs. Dillian Whyte (31-3) – Heavyweight – WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight
- Nick Ball (c) (22-0-1) vs. Sam Goodman (20-0) – WBA Featherweight Title
- Filip Hrgovic (18-1) vs. David Adeleye (14-1) – Heavyweight – WBO International Heavyweight
- Raymond Ford def. Abraham Nova – Super Featherweight via unanimous decision (96-94, 97-93×2)
Ford had Tom and Jerry ring gear, but he didn’t play cat and mouse.
Ford picked Nova apart and essentially beat him up for 10 rounds. The scorecards were a little too tight, in my opinion. Ford was never in peril in the fight and he nearly dropped Nova in the sixth round. Here’s a look at some of the combinations Ford landed.
Ford should have done enough to get himself a shot at a world title.
- Hayato Tsutsumi (7-0) vs. Qais Ashfaq (13-3-1) – Super Featherweight
- Mohammed Alakel def. Yumnam Santosh Singh via first-round KO
Alakel grabbed the predicted victory in a showcase fight for the talented young Saudi fighter. He hit a back-flip celebration after the win.
