Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgović & Sam Noakes vs. Denys Berinchyk + Nelson Hysa vs. Thomas Narmo RBR.

history gets made today NEW and second youngest heavyweight world champion and if you don't like it well

 

Trial by fire for Itauma. Should he be victorious:

Second youngest heavyweight champion.
Youngest British heavyweight champion.
First heavyweight champion born in the 21st century.
First heavyweight champion born from Slovakia.

Obviously, Hrgovic would become the first HW champion from Croatia. There is a lot on the line for both men.

 

and the new!!!!
from zagreb croatia
the first ever croatian heavyweight champion of the world
FILIP HRGOVIC!!!!!

 

This RBR is starting woefully late yet again, CST.

I think they should start at least 3 days before the fight.

 

Itauma is a prophet according to many on here. He's not even a world champion yet. He's fighting for a paper title. Another hype job like Anthony Joshua.

Until proven otherwise. Years down the track.

 

Itauma had a meltdown before his first real fight; I don't believe that was staged—that's just a story made up to find an excuse for him...

 

that croatian boulder is slow and can't move its head his chin finally gets cracked tonight

 

you better believe that he will be the new champ..
it's happening!!!

 

Respect both men for what they are doing, but favour Hrgovic

I have a feeling Hrgovic will win inside the distance

In the UK the HW scene is very tough, especially when campaigning for the British title at the weight
That can be a make or break fight
Just look at the level of some of those bouts with fighters that are still active

Fury vs Chisora
Joshua vs Whyte
Dubois vs Gorman
Dubois vs Joyce
Wardley vs Adeleye
Wardley vs Clarke

Sometimes though UK based HWs tend to go down the international route a bit more where they are good promising HWs but get stepped up a bit too soon, where they often do themselves proud but haven't had the tough British title route that as said seems like it can make or break

Itauma seems to be going down the international route

 

Itauma seemed quite aggressive in the face off I saw and that’s often a sign that you’re gonna lose. So let’s see.

 

It's going to be tough, and I'm lacking faith, but I'm rooting for Hrgovic. He's had a rough go of it in his professional career and hasn't had the support he needs. They're treating Moses like a king even before he deserves it, which is starting to irritate me. I'd love for the Croatian to play a trick on them and get Dubois in the rematch. We'll see if it works. His vulnerability to cuts and his nonchalant approach to defense, combined with the quick and heavy hands of young Itauma, don't exactly inspire optimism.
