    I voted Itauma, mainly because I think it’s better for boxing to have a new big star. If Hrgovic wins, it does nothing for the division.

    Agreed, after seeing that, I hope Hrgovic pulls an upset.

    Not if he digs to the body tomorrow like he did really well in his last couple fights. Lol moses won’t like that and is probably hoping Filip just head hunts.

    Do you even have to ask?:sisi1 Hrgovic obviously! Especially after the weigh in today. That dead eyed and now classless personality void doesn't deserve to be a star.

    You think Sanchez is any more of a challenge than Hrgovic?

    He has beaten hype jobs before but he was so poor against Kabayel.

    Probably a little less so. Sanchez is tough, but not Hrgovic tough. I've seen him rocked by far less impressive punchers than Itauma. I do think Moses is chinny like his brother, but I'm not sure he's reckless enough to get caught with the same kind of shot that stopped Torrez. Also, Hrgovic probably hits harder than Sanchez.

    Just let the better man win. I don't dislike Moses, but we have no idea if he is any good at all. Yes, he has speed, power, and skills, but boxing is a funny sport. You can have all of those things and STILL be a bust. I wish him well in proving that he has the intangibles, but win, lose or draw, he should not have been put in with Hrgovic when he has not been past 6.

    As for Hrgovic, let's hope he stays awake and remembers that he is in a fight. He has trouble with this.

    Moses. I think boxing would benefit by having the next 'big thing' and he fits the bill, and unless he fights a fighter I especially like, Ill be rooting for him to build a legacy from here. I also like how young he is and how much potential that gives him. Id like to see him be as special as some of the potential hints he could be. Fights gainst DD, Agit and other peers are genuinely exciting and dynamic matchups.
    Filip seems like a win some lose some type, does nothing special, and that will garner no momentum at all really, and just overall nothing about him has me hoping he pulls off the upset.

    If I'd known Howard Foster would be working the fight, I wouldn't have bought the PPV.

    Yeah it feels that way doesn't it? Hopefully the fighters take it out of his hands with a clean KO.

    In Australia rooting is more of a personal thing. We love to root with the best of 'em, but there are laws against doing it in public.

    Hello, Perkin Warbeck.

    I think at least some of that weigh in was staged, although the push was probably harder than planned.
