Moses Itauma Clearly Doesn't have the Greatest Whiskers

Guys chill.

His chin is ok, at least far from Price-chin

His gas tank is also good holy cat he kept this incredible speed for more than 6 rounds
he just has zero pacing experience. He blew all his load because he hasn't learned how to manage his energy over 12 rounds yet

It’s pure inexperience, not bad stamina nor glass chin

 

Some blame has to go on Ben Davison...what advice was he giving him?

 

This had nothing whatsoever to do with his chin.

 

You’re either trolling or you’re drunk.

Dumbest thread I’ve ever seen.

He literally punched himself out and lost due to sheer exhaustion.

Poor fitness and bad tactics.

Inexperience.

His chin is fine.

 

Itauma in fact has chin issues!! Think about it: Hrgovic was also exhausted and taking bombs, but didn’t go down. Itauma, once hit with a Hrgovic left crumpled like dirty clothes. Cotton swab head needs to work on that chin, along with that weak sauce stamina. Hrgovic, not a GREAT fighter, recognized that Itauma lacked in 2 vital departments: punch resistance and stamina. And the NEW!!!

 

Ituama will be the next David Price, mark my words! Even the 25% brain damaged body builder Joshua starches him! This was his first big test, and he failed miserably!

 

I think his chin is fine, but definitely not grade A, to be getting rocked by Hrgovic who isn't a puncher. It might not be an issue for him moving forward though, most won't be able to withstand Itauma's onslaught, so they won't get a chance to test his chin, unlike Hrgovic who is able to hang in there.

 

Itauma should trial with Davison, if he can't score a defining win under Davison again then Ben gotta go

 

Not drunk, just a weirdo with nothing to do so comes up with a schtick to run on an online forum for decades.

 

I get that the hype was too much, Is he the second coming of Mike Tyson? No, never really bought into that narrative. But I wouldn't write him off just yet though, he's got a lot of good assets, I don't think he's packing a china chin either, he's just clearly very inexperienced. This was a step too far for him. In retrospect, you have to of had at least one good competitive 10 rounder if you are going to fight Hrgovic. When he didn't blast him out in the first few rounds he didn't know what to do. Ben Davison is a terrible trainer in my opinion, he only knows how to teach offense and putting combinations together, none of his fighters know how to defend themselves.

 

He's a 21 year old fighter who lost to a far more experienced veteran. Marvin Hagler lost to C level fighters at that age. Then came back 10 times better. It happens.

 

He didn't really show any chin deficiencies in this fight. I do think he got hurt in the midst of his onslaught in the penultimate round, but after that, him stumbling all over the ring was clearly because he was so damn tired. He was grimacing in the corner as if he knew he had nothing left and was trying to conjure something up. In the last round Hrgovic did land some big shots and Itauma stayed on his feet despite his fatigue. A chinny guy would have been down and out in that round but Itauma was still swinging till the end.

 

Definitely has a suspect Chin. He's on the Chincheckers radar.

 

If the towel doesn’t come out he was getting brutally KOed. He’s lucky his corner saved him.
