Who will you be rooting for: Itauma or Hrgovic?

Always been his problem. I'm a bit Itaumad out already to be honest, not by him but the media.

 

I'm rooting for Filip cause he seems like a very cool dude, but if Itauma wins - great. We may have a next best things on our hands.

 

No real preference. May the best man win......and get the decision.

 

Hrgovic has had a bumpy ride. Hoping he gets some real success before he retires. Itauma has plenty of time ahead.

 

I just hope Hrgo comes focussed and to win, with a gameplan and executes it. I still think Moses will win as even if Hrgo takes him to the back half of the fight, his own stamina is suspect.

But I hope Hrgovic at least forces Itauma to answer some questions - can he adapt? What happens if he gets hit flush? Will his bouncy leg defence be as viable in round 8-12?

My biggest concern in this is not that El Animal is coming for the paycheck, but more that he will start too fast and gas himself out trying to put Itauma on the back foot early or even worse ship some heavy counters - I think his best plan is to be as cagey and cautious as possible in the first few rounds, even if Itauma banks rounds - his best chance is to get it to round 7 then bring the heat and go to work and see how the young pup handles it.

 

Itauma

He's a great young fighter who is exciting

Only lames constantly hate and root against him

 

I like both guys. I'm rooting for Itauma even though I'd love for Hrgovic to win a world title, just not against Itauma.

 

Itauma deserved that slap. Hope he catches a few more.

 

Good to see Itauma showing a bit of personality at last, instead of just looking like he’s stoned / concussed / confused 24/7

 

I wonder if that means Hrgos attempts at mind games are starting to work?

 

that slap is probably the cleanest shot hes gonna land between now and the time hes stopped tomorrow in the fight on cuts lol.

 

Shoving someone from behind is a cowardly behavior.

 

I like Hrgovic. Not a fan of Itauma's zombie personality. But boxing wise I much prefer Itauma. Rooting for him to be the real deal. He has more upside. Hrgovic is a good finished product but not spectacular.
