David Haye has by far the best post-fight analysis of the Itauma/Hrgovic fight

    He said he went through it himself against Thompson and he learned from it to become a better fighter.

    He said something really interesting about the 8th round, where Itauma went wild and try to get Hrgrovic out of there. He said the Itauma sensed the he was running out of gas and he desperately tried to knock out Hrgovic in that round because if the fight kept going, he would be out of gas. Round 8 was a round of desperation and round 9 was the end of the road.

    Itauma need to get in touch with Haye and talk to him as much as possible. The man is full of wisdom because he went through the same journey.

    Watched it. Completely agreed, MetalLicker.

    Itauma could do worse than to have Haye in his corner...

    Fantastic assessment by an experienced knowledgeable, professional, ex-champion, talented boxer in Haye; as opposed to all the armchair, potato chip snacking opinionators on this forum past 36 hours slagging off Moses.

    Haye said Moses has a SOLID chin. He said Moses dod everything right, everytbing 10/10 ... only thing that was missing was that Moses did not PACE himself. Exactly ad I have been saying post fight.

    Moses fought very very well. Made Hrgovic look like a taxi driver and even Hrgovic himself said Moses was the BEST he ever shared a ring with, and the lost every round, got lucky and Moses outclassed and outboxed him.

    Yet some posters here ...
    "Moses has major holes in his defence, it needs a lot of work"
    " Hrgovic is BANG AVERAGE"
    "Moses is a failure"
    "Moses got smashed"
