    Said it before but you weren't watching the same fight me and plenty of others were. First 2 rounds? Ok I agree, but round 3 and then 5 thru 9 Hrgo was IMO the ring general, playing matador and enraging the young bull, gradually upping his workrate and picking his shots really well when Moses wanted to rest - riding punches and making Moses miss as much as connect as it went along.

    The fight was 100% NOT one-sided while Moses was on his feet, many folks in the RBR were sensing a sea-change and predicting gassing / Hrgo to come on as early as the 3rd round (look at the punch stats on Round 3). I'd say that 1,2 & 4 were Itauma's dominant rounds, and even 4 the signs were there that Hrgo was taking his power and Moses was blowing hard.

    Yeah I agree we weren't watching the same
    fight. It was incredibly
    one sided, and Moses dominated most exchanges. Hrgovic was missing wildly and in crude fashion.

    Yeah moses was gassing, but Hrgovic himself said he got lucky and lost every round.

    I watched it on my Oled LG 65 inch TV. I'll rewatch it again on my 120 inch projector for a second take and get back to you.

    By comparison Dubois Hrgovic
    was competitive

    Not the whole fight but extended HLs


    It wasn't near the domination we've been lead to believe

    Moses well ahead for sure but Hrgovic started to get a foothold in the fight earlier than I initially thought, won or arguably won a few of those rounds before the 9th, you could see Moses blowing way earlier on in the fight than then, and even in some of the rounds Hrgovic lost he was having good success, landing quality shots, and it was taking its toll on Moses

    We'd been to believe that Moses dominated every round and it wasn't competitive and then gassed but that's not what happened

    Itauma wins a shut out points decision if he addresses his cardio issues.

    I really don't know to be honest
    I didn't see as one sided a fight as many others
    I felt Hrgovic won rounds 3, 5 and 6.
    After 8 rounds I had it 77/74 to itauma.
    I don't think the first 8 rounds would be too different, but I think as it goes on it would favour Hrgovic more.
    Itauma boxed fantastically even in defeat.
    I openly picked for Hrgovic first time round to win inside schedule but wouldn't be able to call a rematch at this time

    From the various fighters I've seen discussing the aftermath, everyone agrees if he made some adjustments he could have won that fight relatively simply from the position he was in, but few have the confidence to suggest a rematch is the wise choice. If he tries to conserve energy and fight more economically, Hrgovic will have a better opportunity to impose himself earlier and with the memory of what ended up happening, he could burn out even earlier. It's way too soon to throw him back in there, yeah he has the talent to win but I'm not sure he can put it all together at this stage.

    Yeah. Not many people made the connection but once Itauma began to gas it was actually the body shots that made his legs completely go. They didn’t look particularly hard or eye catching but they definitely cause the strength to drain from his legs an making him fall back into the ropes

    Sire Filip Hrgovic wins by making him barely able to stand getting stretchered away again

    Rumour started by jealous bitter Itauma fans trying to take away Hrgovic's shine.

    On a rewatch Hrgovic won about 5 rounds so I don't give Itauma any chance of beating him.
