New Itauma/Hrgovic highlights sheds new light on vicious Hrgovic body shots

He got the living **** beat out of him.

 

That would have been the play. But as opposed to baiting Moses to throw a lot. Moses threw a lot without needing to be baited.

I dont think they we,re expecting Moses to come out and throw the kitchen sink at him. He tried to treat Hrgovic like a journeyman and very almost got the job done but it was his downfall more than Hrgovic getting his plan going.

I think Hrgovic would have probably drowned Moses even if Moses had been more economical. By doing exactly that baiting him to throw....then getting on him when he tried to take a breather. He done that at times but it wasnt nearly as effective as Moses gassing himself out by throwing the kitchen sink at him.

 

It's absolutely disgusting, especially Talksport and that circle. They were bootlicking and coronating Itauma as the unified HW champ, and planning his future fights, even before the fight. The hype was on a mental institution-level it was so insane.

If anything Hrgovic deserves criticism for being more defensively irresponsible compared to the days when he fought guys like Lenier Pero.

Hrgovic was the one with legit world class experience and proven grit. HE should've been the "star" and favorite. He should be the focus and receiving both negative and positive feedback now.

 

Body shot battered!!!!!!!!! Would have been better if the ref abd corner let it go on 10 seconds longer. Just so he'd get KTFO.

 

The way to look at it is - if he conserved his energy then the early rounds could have looked much different and could well have taken a beating that sapped it out of him anyway - we don’t know. Alternate reality is rarely a simple linear affair

 

I thought that was the best I'd seen Hrgo, honestly. He had a clear plan, his punches were efficient, precise and hurtful, he showed absolute mastery of the ring and forcing/dictating the pace and his finish was ruthless. I think he knew this was his last throw of the dice and his boxing nous knew he had to be on point to beat this kid. The fight he fought shows the respect he clearly had for Moses ability. He disrespected and underestimated Dubois and I wonder if 'this' Hrgo is a better match for big Dan?

Yes.
Hrgovic hit that spot multiple times again, and Itauma defended that spot with special care; and made painful grimaces.

 

Hrgovic is crap.

 

Brilliant stuff from Abel Sanchez. The thought of being as exhausted as that and seeing my opponent up ready, up off his stool, as if to say, 'Come on then mate, what you waiting for?' That's a nope from me. The negativity that must have been running through Itauma's mind, yikes.

 

I seen those right hands they deffinitely hurt but yeah I missed these body shots too and between rounds his corner was in crisis mode.

 

I wan't to agree but I can't his corner should of pulled him sooner. these types of fights take years off of your career.

 

Yet he owned Itauma. Hrgovic is his daddy.
