    Dubois would’ve slept Itauma.

    Sure, he’d be more vulnerable early on than Hrgovic was, but I’d see him getting out of the early rounds, and if Hrgovic could do that to him late, Dubois would’ve slept him.

    Violently derailed? Hrgovic didn’t do anything lmao, he just got his ass kicked until Itauma gassed out.

    It wasn't just exhaustion. Philip is a huge puncher and he definitely felt those punches. Several punches throughout the fight stunned him. Stamina was probably somewhat of a factor too but I disagree was the only one. And the heavyweight division it takes one punch and we've seen that many times

    I think it’s telling how jaded a lot of you are that you’re more happy that Moses lost than you are happy for a great dramatic fight.


    It seems like people just want a smug sense of superiority and to feel extra hardcore by dismissing and revelling in his defeat.

    Corner threw in the towel you meathead!

    Incredible for me to defend Foster but Hrgo landed a couple big right hands and Moses collapsed.

    Yeah I meant Hrgovic chin winning this fight.

    No questions asked really of Itauma chin, Moses fought well just did not use his energy correctly. Minor modification needed.

    Moses fought like a 21 year old with lots of nervous energy and emotion

    That counter uppercut Hrgovic ate at the end of one of the rounds like nothing was insane.

    Moses can be a 12 round fighter but it takes intelligence to do it. He wasnt fighting smart all fight and should have adjusted his energy expenditure when it became clear his shots were probably not going to stop Filip and he should have adjusted to win the decision, which had he focused on ring generalship, jabs and sharp counters he would have done so. Instead he kept unloading and overextending on full body power shots over and over round after round.

    I don't think the hype train is ended - Moses answered a lot of questions tonight, but Hrgo would not be denied!

    I agree. I'm not ready to write him off like everyone else seems to have, but these comments really irked me. And I'm not just talking about the commentators—posters here were doing it too. Everyone was talking as if Hrgovic was ready to go at any moment, when the reality was the complete opposite. He was flat-out exhausted, his legs were completely gone as he went back to his corner, yet everyone was still swearing he was going to get the KO in the 9th. :lol:
