    The gay weather era of coddling 0's died with them bums Ryan Garcia/Gervonts Davis and co etc.

    If you're 21 and the competition is retiring soon which they are then get stuck in and don't be afraid to fall short.

    Dubious got written off when he got his eye scattered by Joyce. He was back shortly after.

    Agree. The only thing is Itauma might lack confidence now.
    The thing is how many fighters in the division can take those bombs from Itauma and take him to the championship rounds?

    There is shame to Frank Warren because they swerved the fights he could have won and used to prepare himself. Instead, with stamina being and obvious issue, they threw him in there with the one guy he couldn't knock out. It was just stupid.

    He lost a fight he was winning and only had a short time to last. Which he couldn't. So he has no gas tank, chin, ring smarts to see the fight out or heart.



    Lol.

    There IS shame in Itauma losing tonight!! He went in with a silly game plan against a veteran tough guy, and shot his sloppy load way too early. Then Hrgovic, Mr Pillow Puncher, KO’d his butt shortly thereafter. Stay out of deep waters, Itauma, cuz there’s real sharks there. One of those sharks just ate you and spit you out for dead. Try again with a common sense game plan and you might have a chance in the future.

    His lungs might not recover from that. He had to leave on a stretcher.

    His team should feel shame for a terrible game plan and putting him in there with a guy that was all wrong for him at this stage. Moses did his best and should feel any shame

    He can definately come again. Throw him in with a heavy bag next. Although youd have to make the bag an odds favourite

    I agree that was a really good fight, if fights and risks like that were more common people would be tuning into boxing a LOT more.

    Everyone stop making excuses for Team ******ed Itauma. They honestly thought they’d send “Nuts Haven’t Dropped Yet” Itauma into a HW championship fight with a veteran and proven Iron Chin, and somehow Hrgovic would just fold after 2 rounds???? Team ******ed Itauma figured it would be alright if Itauma landed in the second half of the fight, KNOWING that they never trained properly for a hard 12 rounds?? GTFO with this shameful behavior, from Itaumaa, who was too stupid to ask his team if the plan made any sense, and Team ******ed Itauma for allowing Itauma to go in with a weak ass game plan, with no Plan B whatsoever!

    Losses like this happen early. Wlad was stopped by Ross and still went on to be an ATG.

    Still plenty of potential for Moses, who probably learned a lot from this fight.

    He left on a stretcher. It doesn't get more humiliating than that.

    Ignore the hype machine and he lost at 21 with little experience of going deep in fights against a very experienced, durable and tenacious guy who's got an Olympic medal and been a top 10 HW of the last however many years, not the worst loss in the world. He went out on his shield just naivety and maybe arrogance and wrong guidance from the corner after a certain point.

    Wrong, pal. Itauma left on a stretcher to Mr Pillow Fisted Hrgovic. Hrgovic finished him with that average-thrown left that had itauma crumble like a stale biscuit. That’s an epic failure on many levels.
