If they build him back up with cans he'll continue to not fight past the 5th round. However, we just saw the issue of putting him in with someone who can last against him to the late rounds.
I don’t know if he will go back to cans, main event fighter now, world title challenger, time to sink or swim.
He needs the Usyk fitness regime, that's all, and more experience fighting longer fights. No need to fight cans. Imagine how good he will be with better fitness; his power will last longer
I wonder how often top level boxers spar 12 full rounds? But it does beg the question, how the f do you train for 12 rounds without experiencing it? It's very different to do cardio than actual fighting.
What a ****ing gronk. Any professional would do what's required. This idiot is fighting in the biggest fight in his life and doesn't spar 12 rounds? Unprofessional as ****.
Probably not very often, but when you're a young kid going up against a man with a world class chin. Maybe, just maybe, just in case... go 12 rounds in sparring and make them hard.
Someone who can go 12 but not put him under too much duress, it's a difficult one to get right after what we saw. This should have been done before that, they tried with Whyte and Franklin he just wiped them out. He could have done with three or more of that level. The Whyte waste of time really messed up Itauma's development, he was supposed to go rounds and learn a lot from a previously solid B tier heavyweight who brings it to him. Heck he could have fought Chisora after that one rounder or someone else with a pulse. Just because he flattened Whyte in a round doesn't mean he is gonna flatten every B/C tier fighter out there. Suppose they calculated Hrgovic wasn't too much better than who he'd been fighting, but the question was always what if the fight goes over six rounds?
