    I think Itauma's youth could be decisive and that too big an age difference could be a bad thing for Hrgovic, of course if the fight happens...

    It'd certainly give Itauma a chin check and a heart check.

    For Moses to get KO'd here, the jokes about Pricey might start looking awfully prescient...

    Hrgovic isn't that good - he's bloody tough, but his terrible stamina means he struggles with cards and his power isn't enough to counterbalance that at the very top level... But... He'd still be a huge jump up into live bodies for Itauma.

    Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Hrgo is looking to latch onto the hype for a bit of attention/exposure knowing they probably won't want it - playing it clever if so.

    My honest opinion is this is one of those "fights that'll never happen" cases, regardless of whether it'd be an interesting one.

    Doubtful this happens. But Itauama is now going to be 5 months without a fight

    I'd much rather see this fight than the 41 year old US journeyman ex linebacker facing Itauma after 5 months sitting about.

    Not sure if Itauma's team will take this fight. Its a very risky fight to take at this stage of Itauma's career.

    Its a crazy jump from a good journeyman in McKean/Balogun to a relatively experienced enough fringe/weak contender in Hrgovic.

    That said - Hrgovic's stamina is pretty poor so Itauma might be able to capitalise on that but then again we don't even know if Itauma has good stamina neither. In regards to Itauma's chin - we don't know how good his chin is either but Hrgovic isn't particularly powerful compared to the other HW contenders.

    I could be wrong as Itauma could actually be that good even if super untested - but I have to back Hrgovic to get the victory here as of now. I mean the jump from McKean/Balogun to Hrgovic especially on a technical sense is just so big.

    No way is Itauma's team dumb enough to take this fight................................he'd be absolutely ruined.

    Itauma would absolutely batter him. I'm not even joking, this fight wouldn't be remotely competitive. Hrgovic is far too slow and one-dimensional. He gets stopped in 3 or 4 rounds max.

    You'd have to back Hrgovic here, Itauma just hasn't shown enough yet. I wouldn't be surprised if he was too much for Hrgovic, but Hrgovic is experienced, with a concrete chin and an accurate right hand. Itauma hasn't fought anyone near that level yet and his lack of experience and a chin test could easily expose him.

    Hrgovic is very accurate and powerful at the beginning of fights

    Itauma would have to jump on him immediately

    Honestly, this is actually a really good fight for both. Not even remotely the worst matchup I've heard.

    If Itauma is the real deal he stops Hrgovic. I think his agility and speed throw filips timing off

    He's gonna fight a 45 year old man instead again, and get praised for it.
