    The hype seems very high for Tunafish ( sorry his last name is to difficult). The Brits hope for a new great fighter they can hype after greedy belly and Joshua careers coming to an end. Who else is left? I still remember the different british fighters in the lower classes. Boxing has really took a dive in the past years. Lets see if Tunafish is able to give a great show and pull some fans that lost interest in boxing back to HW boxing. And crazy that this is a ppv instead of a normal card to build up Tunafish

    If anyone thinks the hype is sickening now, just imagine what will happen if Ituna blitzes Hrgy in style. Just wow...

    you act like he got smoked but okay buddy

    only a casual would claim a fighter can lose every round and win on a cuts and say it’s a whooping

    What would Itauma beating Hrgovic equate to in Mike Tyson's young career?

    Hard to say, but maybe Tubbs or Marvis Frazier. Definitely a very good win.

    he’s got a chip the size of Croatia on his shoulder. He may well lose, but he’s showing up to win. Count on it.

    I’ve got to say… no version of Ali stops or KOs Hrgovic. Take from that what you will.

    I say hrgovic wins. It's just a feeling and I am not one of those criticizing itauma for his deserved hype.

    Basically noone knows how this one will go and that's just amazing. Every prediction is laced with speculation here.

    Love it

    My final prediction ahead of the fight is that Hrgovic wins because he has the experience; Itauma is the future of the division but has fought opponents who didn't hit back—Hrgovic wins by late stoppage.
