    Agit Kabayel and Filip Hrgovic both in the ring wanting to unify next, and Frank Warren can't even think because he didn't plan for Hrgovic to win at all.

    Also,. Hrgovic calls out Dubois. He praises God. Thanks his wife and daughter. Says the win was for his dad.

    Great interview.

    And the British fans just sitting there.

    And Warren just can't talk. He's totally lost. They should all be praising Hrgovic.

    Nobody cares about Moses outside that arena.

    Just another guy who challenged for the title and lost.

    Hardly a fraud. If Hrgo is humble enough to give him props, maybe we should be. He battered Hrgo for 8 rounds and ran out of gas.

    Hergovic isn’t close to the best. That’s still Usyk

    Hrgovic lost every round, he never hurt Itauma once but won by stoppage because of inexperience.

    Itauma lost the fight, Hrgovic didn't win it.

    Even Hrgovic literally just said in the ring he won because Itauma's lack of experience.

    Fraud is harsh. Hrgovic chin won him this fight. He ate punches that have stopped other heavyweight.

    I wonder, did people complain when Barrera and Morales fought in the US 3 times?

    I agree. As someone who favored him but not nearly to the extent that the 8-1 odds suggested, everyone is writing him off WAY to quick imo. Same people would've said Louis was exposed by Schmeling, and had no future in the sport.

    Moses gassed out because Hrgovic took everything he dished out and was there like he said he would be. He dragged him into deep waters and drowned him despite having the deck heavily stacked against him and being brought in as the lamb to the slaughter by Queensberry.

    Even in the earlier rounds when Hrgovic had small pockets of success you could see Moses looked uncomfortable.

    Remember when Moses said to Hrgovic he'd hit Hrgovic more than Hrgovic would hit him and Hrgovic replied what happens when they just bounce off my chin and I'm still there? That's exactly what happened.

    I've only ever seen that dramatic a collapse before in marathon running.

    It was jinxed the second they compared Itauma to Tyson.

    Thats a boxing curse, see: Jeff Lacy, Tua, Morrison, Ibeabuchi, Grant...

    All the excuses under the sun, why can’t people accept defeat gracefully. He looked phenomenal for a couple of rounds but he showed signs of gassing much sooner than they’re letting on. He still looked really good though, but Hrgovic did exactly what a lot of people thought he would do….take Moses best shots, refuse to lie down and come on strong when the chance presents itself. He hurt Itauma a few times prior to the stoppage.

    He was born with an iron chin. Good for him. His pressuring was nothing special. About the minimum to expect from a fighter with 2 hands.
