    He clearly knew he didn't have 4 rounds left in him and threw the kitchen sink at him hoping to stop him.
    Itauma may not be a 12 round fighter, could be a David Price type. Spectacular over a few rounds but you just have to leave him blow his load then spark him out

    Great fight though, this is when boxing is great. Less of the fencing specialists like Stevenson.

    Was it a step up to soon for Moses? The answer is yes!! Easy to say in hindsight, but when you've been taking people out with ease and then jump up to fight a seasoned top 10 fighter who is probably the most durable in the division, this sort of thing is not unthinkable. Moses just didn't know what to do in the later rounds.

    Disappointed to be honest. Hrgovic sucks. Itauma is talented but gas tank sucks. Worst outcome possible for HW boxing.

    Corner did the right thing, he was wobbling about even without being close to Hrgovic. Known as being on ***** street

    Insane. Moses' speed, reaction times, reflexes and power are ridiculous but as I've been telling you all for years Hrgovic has the best chin in the division and his chin >>> all those Moses' attributes tonight.

    Really pleased for Hrgovic, feel bad for Moses and he will come again but Hrgovic had everything against him and had to overcome a ton of adversity and his chin, heart and experience pulled him through

    Gotta fire Ben Davison and work with a proper coach who can actually develop him into a champion who can beat someone like Hrgovic. He has 10+ years left at the top level if he's managed carefully, which isn't the case at the moment.

    I think he actually tried that for a few of the rounds but Hrgo was smart and upped his own pace a little. He got old manned basically.

    Really?

    Itauma didn't lose because of his chin, he lost because he's never gone 10/12 rounds at 21 years of age.

    Itauma rules this division comfortably.

    Pacing was a bigger issue imo, he already showed a lot of cardio, he just had no idea how to properly use it. Going for a KO at round 8? After what Hrgovic already survived??? Very big inexperience.

    I thought this was how this fight would turn out, easy to say now but Moses used so many explosive actions in his style that you physically cant last 12 rds doing it
