    If I’m Itauma I get rid of every single one. **** poor management all because they had $$$ in their eyes. Hrgovic didn’t win this fight, Itauma lost it. And he lost it because of his clear in experience.

    They put a 21 year old with 14 fights who never went past 6 rounds in a 12 round world title heavyweight fight against a guy whose been proven to have a rugged chin and capability to go the distance.

    They hurt this kid, because he has the tools, he absolutely does. He should’ve had atleast 20+ fights with 5 of them against Ross Purity types who could take him 10-12 rounds before they put him up against a serious world contender.

    Fully agree. Zero game plan, relying on talent alone with Ben being useless in the corner.

    Imagine what more experienced trainers could mould out of a guy like Itauma...

    100% agree! I didn’t like this fight when it was announced, it didn’t make sense. Hopefully his career is not ruined.

    Agreed. It was poor matchmaking when looking at just how inexperienced Moses was.

    Oh, please.
    Joe Louis was the same age and destroyed former world champions in his
    20 professional fight.

    Kabayel and Dubois pose similar problems with their attributes so it's not like he had an easy route if they wanted him to have a title shot so early if they struggled to get over the line against Hrgovic's well known capabilities and limitations. He blew away a credible few opponents without much trouble but what was the harm in staying around that level for three or four more fights, chances are he'd learn more about himself and see different problems. Or he could've just destroyed them, either way the division would still be there and the belts opened up. Arrogance and impatience, he wasn't entitled to become the next dominant heavyweight sensation after 31 rounds. "Witness History" and I don't think Queensbury were talking about witnessing the first Croatian heavyweight champ. He went out on his shield and performed well for seven rounds but its twelve rounds which Hrgovic was well aware of from the opening bell.

    Hrgovic absolutely won the fight. He had everything heavily stacked against him, had been brought in as the lamb to the slaughter, what they deemed a very favourable stylistic match up for Moses to make him look good on his coronation at the beginning of long reign of the sport's new superstar and future great, and he took everything Moses could dish out and displayed incredible toughness and heart dragging him into deep waters and drowning him which is exactly what he said he would do.

    At the end of the day Hrgovic took everything what Moses could dish out but Moses couldn't take what Hrgovic dished out and he gassed out not long before after trying to get Hrgovic out there after thinking he had him hurt

    Again, Hrgovic is the one who had the deck heavily stacked against him not Moses and he was brought in to lose and the disrespect he had to endure was disgusting. The same odds as Jake ''Money" Paul had of beating AJ but he flipped the script and Moses gambled on trying to get Hrgovic out of there and Hrgovic withstood it all and then turned the heat up immediately after and that's all she wrote

    Hrgovic was smart he knew he had to keep it long, keep moving, stepping to Moses when he tried to take breathers, and that if he just weathered the storm and made Moses tire out he would be able to drag him into deep waters and drown him late. People acting like he didn't earn his victory but he had to display incredible toughness, heart and resolve to withstand so many flush bombs and he knew if he just bided his time and withstood it all his time would come and he jumped on Moses as soon as that moment came. Give him credit he earned it the hard way.
