    Without taking even half of the shots that Hrgo took.

    OMG!

    On the night they fought these guys were absolutely the better man. Lewis righted the wrong whereas Tyson didn't. That's why we have rematches or even rebuild careers.

    The ball is now in Itauma's court to redeem himself and prove his true worth. You fapping over him despite him being rescued by his corner when he was beaten isn't going to do it.

    Take the L and learn from it.

    Now THAT'S an interesting fight, I wonder who's mandible gets shattered first. My guess is it's Sanchez. He makes Itauma look like Oliver McCall! :lol:

    Do you guys remember when Eddy Reinoso told Canelo to stop trading and throwing recklessly against Golovkin warning him he couldn’t knock him out??

    What the hell was going through Itauma and his corner’s heads? It was pretty obvious Hrgovic wasn’t even reacting to his punches as the fight went on and Moses was gassing.

    What kind of advice did he receive? I think he needs to change his head coach. This was extremely embarrassing and low IQ. To lose a fight you were widely winning out of pure exhaustion.

    He could’ve boxed. Hrgovic’s punches weren’t doing that much damage. Why risk it like this for a knock out?

    You know fellas. When Hrgovic turned pro in 2017, I said he was gonna become a world champ. Now, I didn't pick him, but I am very happy he finally became a world champion in such a epic way. :chuck:

    I’ve always said on here Sanchez is a very underrated trainer. He gets results. De La Hoya said if he could do one thing over in his career it would have been keeping Sanchez in his camp in some capacity for his whole career.

    hopefully itauma doesnt have a brain bleed, hrgovic was hitting him so hard most of the fight and on the ropes at the end were sledgehammer shots

    Naz looks so stupid after his pre-fight hyping of Moses. Moses is obviously a superb talent and it's crazy how he's 6'4.5" and thickset like he's 5'10" and his speed especially for his size is freakish but you can't proclaim someone the future GOAT or the best HW on the planet when that haven't proven anything yet, no matter how talented they are or how impressive they look.

    I'm not ready to give up on Itauma and start calling him an overrated hypejob.

    Yes he was a bit overhyped but he can still learn and regain from this loss and people are too quick to put fighters down after a loss.

    People are forgetting the likes of Wladimir Klitschko had a very similar experience early in his career against Ross Puritty gassing in the later rounds and getting stopped.

    And look at the career Wladimir ended up having.

    Now I'm not claiming Itauma will be become a great like Wladimir did.

    But the positives are Itauma showed good skills and was a mile ahead on points vs Hrgovic and it wasn't his chin that let him down. It was his inexperience in the later rounds and simply punching himself out.

    It's a tough loss for Itauma but it's a loss he can regain from if he's willing to put the work in.
