Itauma set to face Hrgovic in August

The logical step up fight.

I suspect that Hrgovic's susceptibility to cuts will let him down against Itauma.

 

Cmon,he had one bad cut that caused the fight to be stopped but that was only cos Dubois was butting the hell outta him all fight an the ref didn’t do anything. He ain’t like that Brit boxer Cooper who fought Ali an would get badly cut just by splashing water on his face

 

Its not just one cut in the odd fight he's had though? He has suffered multiple cuts in similar and very dangerous areas around the eye in his recent fights. This is literally a proven fact.

Going against someone in Itauma, who has shown that he is a very dangerous early rounder isn't a good recipe for someone who gets cut by anything. But, I do think Hrgovic has good boxing skills, especially a good well-schooled one-two which will test Itauma. It is the logical step up.

If you put £100 on Hrgovic to get cut, you would probably only get £1 back in profit.

 

What happens with Gassiev then ? Warren was threatening legal action against the WBA to force Pulev to defend his regular Title against Itauma the current mandatory for that belt. Now Gassiev holds that belt it’s radio silence from Warren and his Team,despite Gassiev being ordered to defend against Itauma next .

 

This was obvious. Have Hrgovic beat Allen and look good doing it, use that to build up a fight with Ituama.

 

Both Dubois and Adeleye had Hrgovic cut. Itauma will use his speed to do quick damage to Hrgovic. It's a good fight if it happens.

Moses within 7.

 

Big step up but in name only.....

Hrgovic is very hittable and a sitting duck these days

 

Hrgovic is clearly in the top ten. If itauma does good and wins, the resumé discussions are over. No way to discredit hrgovic. Hrgovic would have to look abysmal in order to get that win discredited for itauma.

IF itauma wins. If hrgovic is still there and firing in the 11th round I would be very interested in what happens to a probably panicking, exhausted itauma.

I would love this fight. As much as the matchup dubois vs wardley beforehand. But i only believe it when it happens

 

Itauma has all the advantage fighting all these washed up older experienced fighters because the blueprint to defeat them is already public

 

A very good fight for Itauma, the last step towards the world title in my opinion. Hrgovic is solid and powerful, the right opponent for Moses right now. I'd say Itauma by late stoppage.

 

I won't give any prognosis, let the fight happen and we'll see what happens...

 

this is a great fight. If Ituama wins convincingly, that’s it, he’s 100% the real deal, he’s ready to take on anyone. If Hrgovic pulls off a win, maybe that gets him enough attention for a title challenge.

and the fight itself will be great and answer so many questions. What happens to Ituama when he lands some blistering power combo that would have nailed someone else into the canvas, and the only reaction from Hrgovic is to nail him right back in the face with a right hand? How does Ituama deal with a guy who is there to win and throws a LOT of punches for the first half?

Whyte, Franklin, they knew their chances of winning were low, they were there to sell their name and get a nice check. Filip? He’s going to see it at his ticket back into title shot consideration, show up to win.

 

Im going to say it’s a 10 rounder and itauma wins on points, I have real questions about his gas tank and I imagine his handlers do to.

if he blasts out hrgovic quick I would be massively impressed but I don’t think he will I know speed kills but big Phil got a very good chin and he also has an accurate right hand witch I could see making Moses cagey.

 

Do you not think fighting Hrgovic is a bigger risk to Itauma's 0?
