absolute bull ****, loads of fighters have punched them selves out when they go for a finish like he did in round 8 or 9 whenever it was, but 99% get a second wind and come back (like AJ vs Wlad), i have never in my life seen someone so gassed out like Moses, literally never.
I also think the nervous energy POV are correct, that will drain any sportsman, combat sports most of all. Ituama used to seeing them fold early I think the middle rounds he actually doubled down, loaded up more and Hgrovic you could see gain more confidence. Ituama I think panicked also only he knows but he must of felt himself physically unravelling. Why I blame the corner for doing nothing to help him reign it back from the 4th onwards. I was pretty shocked how badly he did gas out in the end he literally could hardly stand, breathing had gone, legs and arms limp if Hgrovic had been say Daniel Dubois lining him up on the ropes he would of been sparked and badly so.
Come on Phil, you have to be trolling here. Seriously, the scorecards after 8 rounds were 80-71 twice and 79-72. Hrgovic is a serious fighter, and for 8 rounds Moses wasn't just handling him, he was making him look ordinary in the process. He also had his chin checked – kid's 21 years old, and no one's done that to Filip before, not Dubois or Zhang. Plus Itauma had never been beyond six rounds, and that was early in his career, and Franklin only took him five. He just shot his bolt, like a virgin in a brothel. He'll be back.
Any HW on the planet would have been gassed if they threw as many power punches as itauma did over those first 8 rounds. Ego and brain was his weakness.
