    Ituama? Against someone chinny? Good lord. What’s he going to get out of that, a half round? Why on earth would Huni take that (other than $$$)?

    Hrgovic, there’s a world in which he can beat Ituama. Huni? I don’t think there is.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Usyk vacates and Kabayel is elevated.

    That is extremely disappointing if true.
    As you say, Hrgovic would be an interesting fight. Has a chin, is technically proficient, has experience. Hrgovic's main issue is his stamina (and, well, he will be the B-side).

    I can only assume Frank is happy with having Daniel on top, and sees a few more years to take it slow with Itauma. And not wanting to roll the dice after getting burnt by Dubois v Joyce

    If Itauma fights Huni instead of Hrgovic, it should be pretty clear his team doesn't want him to face punchers. I'm convinced Itauma is yet another hype job with a glass jaw, just like his brother who got brutally KO'd when stepping up.

    Yup. He's gonna have to get respect quickly and I'm not sure he has that kind of pop.

    Why for good? Just because he's not the best?

    Because some people are worshipping Hrgovic as if he's the best heavyweight ever. When Itauma finishes him off in the blink of a second, those worshippers will disappear.

    I think Kabayel would be a really tricky stylistic match up for Hrgovic.

    Hrgovic's career would have started differently (better) if he immediately called for a rematch with Zhang, because IMHO they had unpaid bills. I hope that Hrgovica is waiting for another spring.

    Haha great venue I actually had one of my amateur fights there. The Croatians love playing chess and checkers while drinking that plum brandy.
