    Wasn't anywhere near as one sided as made out. Can't remember exactly but sure Hrgovic won round 3,5 and 7 possibly ?

    Doesn't really matter, point is he was more than doing enough. Itauma believed his own hype and thought he'd walk through a tank. It's a rough lesson but he'll come back again.

    How long until “let’s run it back” gets trotted out.

    Sorry Moses son, back of the queue

    Shades of Haye-Thompson, Joshua-Klitschko (I know AJ won but Wlad let him off the hook), Dubois-Joyce. Inexperienced punchers throwing the kitchen sink at tough SOBs and not knowing what to do when it doesn't work. Itauma has enough quality to box to a decision but he kept going flat out. A lack of experience cost him here. Doesn't help he's got a melt in the corner too. He will regroup and come back stronger though, he's shown his class here but this one was a few fights too soon. He needed a few more Franklin type fights.

    David Price has better stamina than Moses.

    We all know it probably will happen though unless he doesn't want it.

    Exactly. Dubois gave Hrgovic much bigger problems.

    Thought that might happen. Never been passed 6 rounds and up against a granite chin.

    Clearly the better fighter but massive lack of experience continuing to throw bombs.

    Frank Warren has a lot to answer for, he always puts his fighter into massive step-ups after fighting cans for all their careers. Same with yarde, needs to learn to step up properly

    If it weren't for the cuts then I think Dubois would've taken him out. He looked really hurt against Dubois.

    How does Davidson keep getting these gigs, he's cronic.

    Incredible credit to Hrgovic for getting through the onslaught. Even in the rounds he was being bombarded he got some clever shots in and never looked totally out of it.

    Sorry that Itauma couldn't get the finish, his speed and shot selection is simply wonderful to watch. Clearly a lot to learn with his stamina and pacing, because even Hrgovic just admitted he was being outboxed every round.

    Just saw the finish! Fecking hell. Moses practically knocked himself out with the punch he landed.

    This will be used in history books as ‘what happens when you don’t pace yourself’
