    Injured leg

    Doesn't like boxing

    Doesn't train hard enough

    Went for the finish he could have outboxed him if he didn't

    Has a poor gas tank

    Inexperienced

    Hes only 21

    What else? Never before have I seen so many excuses. Hrgovic endured punishment props to him for having the right game plan.

    Apparently it's not a strategy to drag your opponent deep into a fight either. Even if you talk about it before the fight and execute it and get the win.

    My personal favorite...

    He KO'd himself by going for the KO too hard!:lol:

    That's exactly what Hrgovic and Sanchez were banking on bitches.:deal:

    He must have KO'd himself because apparently Hrgovic didn't land a single punch on him. Incredible! I guess Itauma's power is the real deal if he can even take himself out with it.

    I think he clearly has skill and talent but unfortunately it was a bad match up for his current gas tank... he was 80-71 up before the 9th lol

    I wouldn't call some of those excuses, because these are facts:
    • He is only 21.
    • He is quite inexperienced.
    • He gassed himself out.
    Hopefully he gets a new trainer and works on that stamina. Hrgovic won that fight fair and square, but it wasn't easy for him.

    This is the only argument, because Tyson and Patterson are rare.

    Yeah, even when a crushing left hook from Filip left him slumped against the bottom rope in the corner and they had to stretcher his ass to the back. It's because he was just sleepy!:lol:

    Itauma reminds me of Frank Bruno, winning a bunch round only to be KOed late. At least Frank didn't get carried out on a strecther.
