    How long would Hrgovic be able to resist Itauma's aggressiveness and explosiveness?

    That would be a nice fight. High risk low reward for Hrgovic though.

    It's getting to the point now with Moses, that he should be in with these top 20 fighters. If he is as good as he potentially could be, then he would be more than capable holding his own against them

    Or he should be destroying journeymen every couple of weeks. No reason to be on the shelf for so long for 5 months

    Itauma has beaten no one with a pulse and the hype is out of this world.

    Hrgovic on the other hand has beaten Zhang and has serious whiskers on him. However he does seem to have lost motivation as he did not train for the Dubois fight like a professional and gassed out. Probably a good opponent for Itauma in a few fights time, if he continues to be on the slide. Otherwise he could be too much for Itauma.

    I want to see Itauma vs Dubois.

    Itauma murders Hrgovic, by the way.

    Itauma doesn't hit nearly as hard as Dubois or Zhang. He's explosive and quick, but lacks one-punch KO power.
    He also may possess glass jaw like his older brother who was knocked out cold with single punch. It's still unclear as Itauma was never properly hit in any of his pro fights.
