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

Great example of a fight where the more skilled guy loses

 

How can you not love Hrgo?

 

Disapointed for itauma but hrgovic is a freaking rock. Moses should've and could've managed his energy way better he had the talent and speed to control the first half with his lead hand alone

 

The Wlad and Brewster. He was so gas he lost. He crawled back to corner.

 

Hrgovic starts working when the pace drops. He circles when he feels like he has to. He starts throwing when he feels you are dropping initiative. He is big and often lumbering, but there was a reason Wlad and others held him in such high esteem.

That and he has Abel Sanchez in his corner.

 

Dubois is a bit more explosive than Hrgovic, so he could land his own big punches early on against Itauma to keep him off unlike Hrgovic who was shipping it early on due to his lack of speed and explosiveness, allowing Itauma to beat him to the punch.

 

I agreed with you at the time but he gas just been taken out on a stretcher

 

Hopefully this quells some of the idiots on here that dismiss the importance of punch resistance.

 

Oh c'mon! I LUV Tex but Hrgovic is better than Tex. Larry Holmes kept his jab planted in a totally ineffective Tex's face for 15 rounds. You think that would've happened to Hrgovic?

 

Huge props to Hrgovic though. Massive respect.

 

Classy from Hrgovic

 

Lot of class shown by Hrgovic. Gave props to his opponent and his wife
