Itauma is a beast and a future champion.

People on here are overreacting

Wladimir Klitschko had his first loss in similar fashion


Itauma will be back

 

Agreed

Maybe he should get rid of Ben Davison

 

Don't know if his chin will ever be the same

 

I have to agree with you, all Hrgovics pre fight predictions came true, whilst he was in the ambulance on the way to the hospital those words and key moments of the fight would have been running around in his head as he slipped in and out of consciousness

 

This is what people were saying on this site forever. And before this fight.

 

I respectfully disagree, Dubois was getting lit up by Hrgovic in their fight and hung in there and managed to turn the fight around. I think the issue with Itauma isn't just his gas tank but what he does when fighters take his punches and fight back. What happens when Dubois lands a solid one on his chin? I think he goes to sleep personally, but let's see how the comeback pans out, it will be interesting!

 

I agree. It was almost like tonight was Moses coronation, the result a foregone conclusion. His fans had hyped him massively, fish eyes bought him a title shot, the commentators were glazing him beyond belief “we are watching greatness “.
Huggy took his best shots. Wore him down and stopped him.
I’m sure it’s a tough lose, but not many fighters would have made it through the first six rounds, Moses is a good fighter and he is fast! He can come back ok as long as his mind is alright, and he doesn’t put on weight and lose the speed, if he loses that speed he’s just ordinary.

 

You think AJ is more skilled than Itauma? lol. In what ways is he more skilled? You did not see Itauma's timing, reflexes, punch selection, counters, feints? Get some glasses. AJ is a big stiff robot. Even he would laugh at your comment.

 

Fair, but what about Dubios last fight where Wardley basically knocked him on his butt every time he landed. Itauma is far more accurate, and Dubios has been KD'd and stopped multiple times.

It's the beauty of Heavyweight. So many "what ifs".

 

They said the same about Dubois...

 

came back here to agree with the OP. that was a great ****in' fight. both guys totally covered themselves in glory and i would get legit psyched for a rematch.

are either an ATG? i dunno. tired of arguing about it.

that said, boxing matchups are kinda' like romances. or jazz bands. or sex; there can be chemistry that makes sense to no others than the participants and it results in greater than the sum of it's parts.

great fight, boys. can we get another?

 

Got a cracker of a rematch coming in about 6 weeks to look forward to, and Kabayel seems game on taking on Hrgovic.

If both of those go ahead, we have a great end of year for heavyweights.

 

Well now we know why his management held him back. Almost everybody was comparing him to Mike Tyson. They knew better.

 

He has 15 fights. How did his management hold him back?

 

Who had Itauma fought before tonight who was any good, let’s be real?

I like him but he’s a hypejob until proven otherwise. I think there are a handful of guys who beat him pretty handily. Moses is good but he badly failed his first real test tonight. Everyone knows that he’s beatable now…he’s not chinny (he took some serious heat from a known power puncher tonight) but he’s certainly gettable.
