Hrgovic Asks "is a Chin Important?"

Exactly. So he had 4 more to go yet his gas tank was that in the 9th.

What are you talking about?

I said he should've fought for a decision over 12 rounds....Then you brought up 9 rounds....It's a 12 round fight my guy.

 

Yeah if

Boxing IQ = "Take as many punches as needed until your opponents arms get tired then wait for him to collapse from exhaustion"

 

Man you’re dumb. Insane

 

Literally the Homer Simpson strategy lol, but if it works it works.

 

It's not a "Strategy" though is it?

Hrgovic was outclassed in every aspect, it's not a "Choice" to get outboxed and pray that your opponent stupidly gasses himself out.

A 25 year old Itauma beats any version of Hrgovic.

 

I thought Itauma would beat Hrgovic too, but lets be real here.

Hrgovic made it clear he was planning on dragging Itauma into the late rounds, and Itauma's team didn't prepare him for it. Relying on his chin to carry Hrgovic late and waiting for his opponent to tire out absolutely is a strategy. It's crude and has risks, sure, but it's definitely a tactic some boxers use.

Usyk is a prime example. He'll lose the early rounds while he studies his opponent then exploits them when they tire in the later rounds. He's just far more eloquent at it.

 

He made Itauma miss, road with punches and tanked everything he did land then deliberately finished every round strong. The writing was on the wall for a while if you knew what you were watching.

 

Toughness and stamina are big parts of boxing matches. Hrgovic gameplaned around Itaumas attacks and knew how to ride it out, pace himself and attack at the end of rounds.
