Lot of horrific takes on the Hrgovic Itauma fight

Well I guess technically, if you stop someone in the 12th round, you haven't gone 12 full rounds, haha.

 

Totally agreed, and I've thought this for months. Way too big a step up. He should've took on the likes of Vianello, Jalolov, Miller. But, I figured, like a lot of people, that Frank Warren must know something we don't and see a weakness in Hrgovic that Itauma can exploit, because surely he wouldn't risk him for the sake of it? I guess the hype, temptation, and money, was too much.

If he really wanted a title shot he should've took on Gassiev when he had the chance.

 

Yah, Hrgovic is clearly a top fighter and has established himself as such over years at this point. I agree with this, but I also agree with Bubbles that the hype is a bit excessive following beating the relatively unproven Itauma. To me, Hrgovics level is just the same as it's been, and this doesn't really elevate it..
