    Suspect chin at minimum, could be worse! If a light-hitter like Hrgovic can take him out, he may not remain vertical when he faces harder hitters.

    Time will tell

    His chin is pretty average, his gas tank is horrific

    His chin wasn't the issue, it was his gas tank and pacing issues. That is a lack of experience in 12 round fights.

    He gassed out, I don’t think he went down

    Told everyone they were hiding something. I can smell useless hype.

    If Bakole was levelling off bombs in there it would be night night.

    What a dumb assessment. Are you literally blind?

    Itauma wasnt stopped by Hrgovic's power, he was stopped through exhaustion.

    I don't agree with most of what you say but this is spot on, had Bakole in there with Itauma that would have been career ending

    Hrgovic asks "Is a Chin Important?"

    You're damn right it is!!

    Anyone who has boxed knows that when you’re tired you’re far more likely to be stopped.

    It was a symptom of Moses’s immaturity and rawness that he was throwing for the KO with almost every exchange.

    So many times he was in his flow but needed to back off but hurgo probably would have pressured immediately if he did anyway.

    Could see he was tiring around round 6 and was throwing borderline superman punches to try to land flush on hurgo...too much energy wasted.

    His chin is fine, above average even. His gas tank is the real problem.

    Correct and it’s something Boxercise Ben should have noticed and encouraged Moses to pace himself.

    But that’s no guarantee that Moses would listen.

    It's good that Moses has flow and fluidity though and fight in him. AJ never had super stiff. Moses just needs to tame his desire be smarter and get the expierance.
