Itauma vs Hrgovic

I’m going for a controversial Itauma win on points

 

No clue mate, one thing's for sure, we'll know how good Moses is by the end of it.

Just realised the weigh-in's at Spitalfields Market – shows how quiet the build-up's been, literally on my doorstep and no clue. Missed opportunity to roll up waving my mobile about like the plebs, on socials.

Face-off looked intense, can't wait for this one.

Edit: Sorry, I meant hipsters.

 

The only flaw I’ve seen with Itauma is he appears off balance after throwing power shots. A good counter puncher will be his nemesis but that’s not really Hrgovic’s game so I think he’ll win.

Prediction - Itauma to drop Hrgovic early, who then resorts to a high guard all fight and Moses wins on points.

 

Don't like this Itauma plonker at all. Too much arrogance for someone who's done absolutely nothing yet. Apparantly he's been sparring since the age of 2. So he sounds like he's slurring his speech already. Hrgovic for the win tomorrow.

 

I used to work round the corner or I’d have been there too! Enjoy tomorrow.

 

Thing with HW division you have to have a chin to reach the top, Moses chin never been tested , if he gets tagged early what will happen?

This is a real fight , one which could end up being too soon for Moses , Hrgovic coming to win make no mistake ..

 

Itauma is almost impossible to like. Like Boxercise, seems under the impression that he's clocked the game. The robotic, humourless response to question makes Dubois seem like peak Ali. It'd take a heart of stone not to chuckle at the Warren clan if Hrgovic chins ''the best since Ali''.

 

All looked staged to sell the fight. Weak push and a weak slap, no real efforts from security to pull them back and the smack talk was embarrassing. We know there is little hype at the minute, this smacks of an attempt to drum up last minute publicity.

 

Hrgovic looks locked in, might back the stoppage

 

Well let's be honest, 98% of "celebrities" and "influencers" on social media think they've also clocked the game, and will sell and upsell you their lifestyle, choices and so on every single day as further social proof – all under the guise of an ad or faux collab, of course. And these ******s are often left bemused as to why they just bounce from narc to narc to narc. Not just relationships but systems, or are just plain narcs themselves.

At least Moses is going deep in the trenches later. And come on, he's just turned 21. He's been labelled the next big thing since before he turned over, smashed everything put in front of him as an amateur, and totally obliterated everyone as a pro.

If he wins later, and wins in style, then it's like that line in Goodfellas: "Paulie may have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody." At that point it's no longer hype, but because he's a once-in-a-generation talent. Don't get me wrong, his kids will likely turn out to be "Little Hampstead ****s," as Gervais likes to call them.

 

Who on earth wants to see a 21 year old Brit become a heavyweight champion anyway..As if that would be good for British boxing

 

We are a weird bunch us Brits. Love to complain, love to be negative and we love a loser...I for one however will be cheering Itauma on, he might be arrogant, he might lack personality but he is good to watch, I dont watch his personality when he is knocking people out.

 

Hrgovic wont have the power to keep Itauma honest. We have seen in his transition from amateur to professional, be completely unable to deliver any type of world class power with that overhand right.

I think Itauma stops him at some point. Yes Hrgovic can take a lot of punishement but he will start to cut up and that eye will close.

 

Itauma always comes across very respectful in interviews, no issues with him at all. People just like to moan and hate on talented people for no reason.

If he was a wanker, I'd probably dislike him but nothing suggests he is. He's a boxer, of course he's going to be very self-confident of his ability.
