    I didn't notice this good write up.

    I know you wasn't overly high on Itauma and i was excited about his potential and I still think skill wise Itauma has potential.

    But I want you to look at what I wrote in April below.

    I did mention I did notice some possible stamina issues vs Franklin and I wasn't overly sold on his stamina. And that I wanted to see Itauma extended rounds so we could have that question answered.

    And Hrgovic was the best possible opponent for that question to be answered because of his solid chin.

    I think my issue was Chris is i underestimated Hrgovic.

    But I don't know everytime I've seen Hrgovic he never looked stand out to me. He gets the job done but never looks spectacular doing it.

    And there's been a few times like against Zhang where he turned away and looked dazed and confused.

    And then obviously against Adeleye he's being badly hurt out of nowhere with 20+ unanswered punches.

    So that's why I thought Itauma's speed would be too much and Hrgovic wouldn't put enough pressure on Itauma.

    But I did severely underestimate the experience Hrgovic had and he did show more savvy and experience and his better gameplan won him the fight.
