Teddy Atlas weighs in on Moses Itauma vs Jermaine Franklin

Breaking down the matchup, Atlas said: 

“Punchers are born, they are not made. Itauma is a puncher. He was born to be a puncher. So, people will expect him to get the knockout.

“Franklin is solid enough, experienced enough. He’s a guy who, when he gets to the next level, he does enough to lose. He does enough to lose well. He’s solid. He knows how to fight. He does just enough. Just a little caution, that doesn’t take too many chances.

“I’m going to say, Itauma wins, and it goes rounds.”
