    Very smart move. Hrgovic should be looking to drown the inexperienced Ituama, and his weight will help with the gas tank. Very hard fight to pick. I would pick Hrgovic with confidence if he didn't cut so easily, but I am still tentatively picking Hrgovic by decision.

    Very good fight, though. And for @OldSchoolBoxing and the other bums trying to pretend Hrgovic isn't a massive test for Ituama, get your head out of your ass and stop hating on Ituama.

    I'm a tad worried it's a little too light. Will likely affect his power and not in a good way.

    I am surprised Itauma's getting 66% support here.

    Hrgovic has proven himself to be at a much higher level than Itauma has proven. Hrgovic might win this one easily and if Itauma wins it will probably be a highly contentious affair.

    I always got the impression Moses was a Dominique Guinn mentality fighter, kinda like this slow, passive guy who just happens to have skills. Seems he actually does have some spark that doesnt come across in his personality and interviews.

    I just hope we don't get an early britsh stoppage if Moses wins. Let Hrgovic go out on his shield if Moses can really stop him.

    Itauma looked shook, when Itauma was mouthing off in Hrgovic's face and the dead pan response 'I'm gonna smash you', Itauma went silent. That was a Drago-Creed moment.

    He seems like a heavy marijuana user. Hopefully he's smart about how often he partakes. Everything in moderation.

    Good thing the home ref Foster wasn’t there. He would have given Hrgovic a standing 8 count for been shoved off the stage and then disqualified him for the slap.

    Hrgovic has beaten nobody notable so far, only a 600 year old Zhang and a shot Joyce.

    Moses will have him doing the Bambi legs before the third is over.

    Two more overrated fighters. Hrgovic Was talked up like some God 3 years ago. Itauma is so overhyped it's not funny. You'd think he's the longest reigning champion in heavyweight history the way people carry on around here. They're fighting for a vacant title. Let's see how they go when they take on several world class opponents.
