    Could Mercer go through the gears the way Hrgovic did late on? We know he had the chin to get out of the early-mid rounds, but would he have the gears of volume to go through and to stop Itauma? Or would he rack up enough rounds late on to win on points?

    Who wins this matchup?

    Mercer for now. Itauma probably in a few years.

    Mercer got too much experience for young Moses. Likely drowns him mid to late rounds

    Hrgovic is taller, but Mercer certainly hits harder. Itauma clearly wins early rounds but will be in deep trouble in the 2nd half of the fight
