Huge Tactical Problem in Itauma vs Hrgovic…

Who exactly has destroyed Hrgovic to lead you to this conclusion?

 

There's a first time for everything my friend. My feelings on this have more to do with Itauma than Hrgovic.

Boxing history is littered with good aging fighters who had never been obliterated getting destroyed by the next rising superstar.

I could be wrong, that's the sort of fight outcome I think we'll be looking at here.

 

I'm not ruling out a quickie British stoppage myself, but when I step back, look at the big picture, taking everything into consideration. I don't think we'll be seeing Filip blasted out of there with relative ease. It'll either go the distance, Filip will be slowly broken down and stopped mid to late or Itauma gasses out, and his hereditary glass chin gets exposed. Because the way I look at it, it's not like Filip has had a long grueling career. He's been a pro for 9 years, half of that time he was taking on light touches that he was blasting out of there in a round or two. Just like Itauma, stopping all but 2 of his first 14 opponents. Unlike he got in there with old man Zhang, which he did enough to eke out. Then the foul filled Dubois mugging occured, but aside from one bad round against Adeleye, it's been smooth sailing since. Also we must take into consideration, his head not being in it early on, his father dying and bad trainers. Since getting with Abel Sanchez, he's looked like a super determined absolute killer. So if he brings that offense is the best defense mentality, this could be a bumpy ride for the chosen one. One thing for sure, I want to see a good competitive all out war and because I'm not in the mood for a blowout.

 

Based on the chinniness of his brother Karol, there's always a chance!

 

Hrgovic has won the mental warfare battle so far and quite conclusively at that even though English is his 2nd language. He's a funny guy and the definition of an alpha male but one of the reasons why he's been winning it is because what he's saying is true and everytime he drops one of his truth bombs not only can't Moses refute them but no one can because they're true and even those who don't want to believe it initially have to concede it's true after giving it a few seconds thought. Hrgovic might be playing mind games but he's not trying to be disrespectful

That being said, it's not Moses' fault he was afforded a big head start for coming from Britain (originally from Slovakia) and Hrgovic had to work much harder and make huge sacrifices to get himself in the position he's in and even though the hype has been crazy compared to what he's achieved so far he is very talented and thee hype is warranted to a certain extent just not that he's the next great HW despite still having important questions to answer

I still think he's all wrong for Hrgovic though and if you have to narrow it down to one deciding factor it's the speed disparity.

Even though this sounds too obvious, if Hrgovic can land with any consistency and crack him with full power shots and hurt him he could win because we have no idea how good Moses' chin is yet or how he responds to adversity, especially if Hrgovic can take his shots and deal with his speed, but if not he's going to get hit hard, quickly and often and Moses is going to exploit the holes in his defence and tendencies and land big shots and time him with counters

Hrgovic's skills have regressed as a pro but Dwyer posted a video the other day re. Hrgovic's fight against Mansour and the tactics he employed in that fight where he used his legs and range to keep it long. Sure Mansour was old nut I think it would be advisable for Hrgovic to employ those tactics in this fight too instead of being lumbering and flat-footed, if he's still capable of doing so these days which I'm not sure he is
