Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgović & Sam Noakes vs. Denys Berinchyk + Nelson Hysa vs. Thomas Narmo RBR.

Moses got off that stool like I crawl out of bed in the morning.

 

I agree but I'm referring to the punches he's throwing, his one two has seemed faster previously

 

Outside of those great bursts where Itauma lets his hands go he is not really good at controlling a fight, he just has 3-4 of these moments per round and does relatively little otherwise.

 

6-0 based on scoring metrics but Hrgovic is coming on now

Good fight

 

Lol. Because guys like Ray Mercer, Tex Cobb, and George Chavulo didn't use the "iron man" style.

 

Breathing through his mouth Itauma

 

Working with Abel Sanchez has done wonders for Hrgovic. He never had this kind of stamina earlier in his career.

 

Round #1: 10-9 Itauma. 10-9 Itauma.
Round #2: 10-8 Itauma. 20-17 Itauma. Flash knockdown by Itauma. Hrgovic's glove touched down.
Round #3: 10-9 Itauma. 30-26 Itauma. Close Round.
Round #4: 10-9 Itauma. 40-35 Itauma.
Round #5: 10-9 Hrgovic. 49-45 Itauma. Close Round.
Round #6: 10-9 Hrgovic. 58-55 Itauma. Close Round.
Round #7: 10-9 Itauma. 68-64 Itauma.

 

If Itauma keeps missing on huge swings we could see a Wardley situation...

 

Round 1: Itauma 10-9
Round 2: Itauma 10-8
Round 3: Itauma 10-9
Round 4: Itauma 10-9
Round 5:Hrgovic 10-9
Round 6: Hrgovic 10-9
Round 7: Itauma 10-9

 

Great fight!

 

Hrgovic doesn't have the power to turn this around. And the early beating likely took a lout of him, too much for him to increase the volume now in later rounds.
