Moses Itauma vs Filip Hrgovic - 29 Aug

Itauma by KO in 3.

 

This is probably too big of a step up Hrgovic wins

 

Is there anything Hrgovic does better than Itauma? Well except we haven’t seen him take a shot that’s the unknown. Hrgovic hasn’t got the best gas tank so unless Itauma has a worse tank, it’s hard to see him losing this

 

As much as I don't want to hold Itauma back forever, going from Franklin to Hrgovic is too big a step, I agree, although I don't necessarily think it means Hrgovic wins.

I'd have given him top 15 guys from now on, no more bums, but Hrgovic is probably like top 5 at the most. A Parker, Zhang, Miller or Chisora type would've been good for him at this stage.

 

I'll be rooting for Hrgovic, but the dude's got a leaky defense and lacks top echelon power.

 

Great fight and a big step up for Itauma. I think Itauma will be too good for Hrgovic but it's still a big test for him.

 

Franklin beats Hrgovic.

 

You deserve a ban for this comment

 

I say Itauma by late TKO on cuts maybe. He'll be in for a very tough fight though. His defense will be tested.

 

Hrgovic by decision (or, more likely, Itauma by robbery).

Hrgovic is such a jump from the guys Itauma’s been fighting. I’d put Hrgovic in the top 3, only behind Usyk and Kabayel, and the latter is a close one. Itauma hasn’t even fought anyone who punches back at him and they’re putting him in with the highest volume puncher in the division? Odd matchmaking tbh but I guess they are very (overly?) confident in Moses.

 

Super exciting fight.
Crazy step up.
And hrgovic isn't the biggest draw.
So they have to be quite confident.

 

Hopefully this silences some of the doubters who can't seem to tell how good a fighter is by watching them.

 

Dubois beat Hrgovic h2h and has the better resume

 

I wish my compatriot the best of luck in the upcoming fight and may both of them leave the ring alive and well after the fight...
