    Hopefully this quells some of the idiots on here that dismiss the importance of punch resistance.

    Oh c'mon! I LUV Tex but Hrgovic is better than Tex. Larry Holmes kept his jab planted in a totally ineffective Tex's face for 15 rounds. You think that would've happened to Hrgovic?

    I wasn't dumb enough to violently deep throat Itauma for the last few years, like many of you, was I? Keep on buying the hype like a good little DUMB ****ing doggie.

    Even I had strong doubts going in that Hrgovic would be able to survive long enough to drag Moses into deep waters and drown him and I picked Moses to win but the Hrgovic disrespect was disgusting. It seemed like 99% gave him no chance including the bookies. As undeniably talented as Moses is the hype around him has been utterly insane. Deserved and understandable to a certain extent but not the extent that he's the next Tyson or Ali. Not yet at least you have to prove something. He can and will come again and he will become a world champion soon but as said the Hrgovic disrespect was off the charts

    Imagine running into Hrgovic in a bar fight or something.

    He boxed beautifully and will still be a problem for any heavyweight. But now it depends how he takes this loss, that's the true test for him now.

    People are wanting to say it's just Hrgovic's chin. But we've seen guys with chins like that get bullied around plenty of times. Itauma just wasn't strong enough, nor accurate enough.

    Rewatch the fight and you can see even in the first half of the fight how many times Itauma threw big shots that missed completely or he'd land behind the neck.

    Itauma is young, and he has a good amount of flaws. It's always exciting to see the guy with fast hands KO guys, but a lot of fighters do that when they're starting out. His power isn't there for the guys who aren't just there to be KOed. Hrgovic was VERY slow, but Itauma just wasn't experienced enough to exploit it.
