    Full credit to Hrgovic

    I thought Itauma would win but I wasn't one of these people ruling out a Hrgovic win
    Guy is no joke

    I saw him doing some very pained grimacing from like round five onward, just seemed what Malignaggi would call a 'tell' like their poker face slipping, you could see the tide turning slowly.

    We need to pray for Moses's health. This loss looks quite dramatic. The guy landed some pretty juicy punches from a full twist at the end of the fight. I hope his health is okay. We don't want this boxing celebration to have an unpleasant twist in that style. Nobody wants that.

    Moses is an offensive machine, but they probably chose an opponent beyond his capabilities, underestimating what this guy is capable of.

    Once again. I hope neither of them loses even an ounce of health after the spectacle they gave us.

    Yup, the snap was gone and the power was fading every round.

    Yeah think he is possibly bad. He went very strange in the ring not like a normal leg injury

    I liked Jeff but he was not a highly skilled talent he was a puncher with average to just above power...Moses is high skilled and just very young, this depends on his management and Moses handling the loss

    Ben Davidson is a friendly coach

    Itauma imo just does what he wants

    He needs a strict coach to improve him

    Even bloody Don Charles would be a improvement on Davidson

    Was anything but easy. He still had to take bombs en route to this victory.

    Styles make fights. He could easily end up losing to someone like Kabayel via bodyshots. Or Dubois could beat him again - who in turn could lose to someone with more ring craft and savvy than him.

    There's no one single guy out there who I think it dominant. They all have weaknesses.

    Would you prefer it if I used the phrase "Most skilled" instead then?

    Moses lacking in experience and was fighting mostly off emotion, but he looked very dominant... Moses is very talented... and for me his stock went up even if he gassed himself out/rolled his ankle .. whatever happened..

    It's one thing to look dominant against tomato cans and taxi drivers, and then to look the same against top heavies.
