Moses Itauma Clearly Doesn't have the Greatest Whiskers

Hrgovic was very tired himself and he'd taken a ton of flush bombs both upstairs and down

He also gassed vs Dubois after dominating early but strangely that gets completely ignored by many as do the dozens of headbutts from Dubois which at an absolute bare minimum should've resulted in point deductions for Dubois and the ref reading him the riot act for constantly coming in with his head all night like an irate bully goat. Hrgovic was stitched up on more ways than one that night and should've been declared the winner

Hrgovic was also gassed against Big Bang at times

But his chin has never let him down

I'm not saying Moses has a bad chin but why are people acting like it's proven when they don't even rate Hrgovic or consider him a big puncher and Hrgovic didn't actually catch him much flush with his right hand and on the few occasions he did Moses looked noticeably uncomfortable?

How much of what of what Hrgovic was able to withstand last night would Moses have been able to? Speaking as one of the world's leading authorities on punch resistance and chin science I can assure you from my expert observations it would only be a fraction and for all his undoubted talent that begs the question how will his whiskers hold up when facing the elite punchers in the division?

So his chin is, in fact, still unproven against the kind of savage power that makes the HW division such a perilous minefield

Moses has fought one world class fighter who who didn't even catch him clean that often with his right hand so whilst it is indeed true exhaustion played a big part it's also true that his chin wasn't really tested that much and Hrgovic did actually hurt him

And the way he reacted when Hrgovic did catch him clean with the right hands he didn't see coming or saw too late concerned me a little

Don't forget that the vast majority of those who are subsequently trying to discredit Hrgovic's win picked Moses to steamroller him inside 3 rounds and 90 whatever percent it was gave him zero chance. The disrespect shown to Hrgovic who had everything stacked against him and was a massive underdog who was brought into get bashed up, make Moses look good on his coronation night vs a very favourable stylistic match up for him was disgusting
