Hrgovic is better than Itauma and deserved to win. Give him his credit

    The hate and jealousy for Hrgovic is strong.

    It reminds me very much of when Vitali lost to Lennox Lewis.

    Vitali's fans always moan about how he was up on the cards and heading for certain victory without factoring in that his ****ing face had been totally rearranged by punches and he was only 4-2 up in rounds (a swing round makes it dead even) and gassed when the fight was literally only half started.

    Moses looked great until fatigue and Hyrgovic's glacial like inevitably drowned him 2/3's of the way through. If the towel wasn't thrown in Hrgovic's detractors would have seen the KO punch they criticise him for not landing.

    Serge, that was a tour de force post that explains why I was rooting for Filip (and was little to nothing about Moses).
    Wish I could've given it multiple likes !

    mike tyson was one of them..
    the loss to douglas was obviously big, but the writing was on the wall...
    it would've been even bigger news on a global scale back in the day if it wasn't for the fact of nelson mandela being released from prison about 12 hours later..
    when it comes to tyson, nobody hit the nail on the head predicting his downfall the way larry holmes did before they fought..
    larry said that tyson is going to have a brief prime because of his fighting style and lifestyle,and would end up in prison..
    how prophetic those words were..

    Yes he gets credit for beating Itauma but beating Itauma is not that much to grab about. Also, he lost every single round before the KO.

    Irrelevant if he did. Which is debatable. In the end he slaughtered him. That's all that matters.
