Itauma- Hrgovic is rumoured

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Hrgovic will give him rounds but not much else IMO. Unless Itauma has gas tank issues, I don’t see how Hrgovic gives him problems.

I’d like to see Itauma in with an explosive fighter who will put him on the back foot. AJ or Dubois would be interesting. Maybe he blitzes them early but maybe he gets clipped and we see what he’s made of.

Call me crazy but I think hrgovic stops him

Really? Do you think he weathers the early storm and then Itauma folds in the second half of the fight?

I think flips got a good chin but he's maybe used it too much and it's time to be cracked. I was worried in the 8th round v Adeyele.
But he's a step up, so if itauma beats him in a round don't say it was a bad choice of opponent for moses?
On paper it's good fight but who knows?

Hrgovic is a very good step up fight for Itauma. I would be impressed if he actually takes that risk.

I just want to see Itauma get hit cleanly with shots he don’t see coming. Can he take a punch? Can he go 12 rounds? How will be respond if he gets cuts early? So many unanswered questions & should not be a #1 contender yet. He beat McKean & washed up Whyte so take that for what it is but he does not deserve a title shot. Lets see him against Parker or Kabayel. Beat one of those 2 & then we can talk am legit contender.

Filip Hrgovic really should have been his opponent instead Dillian Whyte 'but this tactical match making does show that, even though? Itauma's team say they are game to match him with any heavyweight fighter. They are still thinking their way through the process of his development'.

Note: Hrgovic is a fundamentally solid fighter, does not have great speed 'or power, but he has proven that? When the going gets tough in a fight, he does not disappear. This is the type of fighter Moses Itauma needs to compete against. All of his opponents up into this point, have not really believed they could win. In my opinion they just seemed to be content with being given a great opportunity to fight Itauma'.

Flilip Hrgovic unlike Dillian Whyte, will back himself against any fighter 'he has a certainty about his ability, which was most likely fortified during his amateur career'.

Now, I don't rate Filip Hrgovic super highly, I think there are many fighters who would beat him 'including Anthony Joshua at any stage of his career. I really don't rate Hrgovic as a dangerous heavyweight fighter; I think we have all seen enough of him to categorize him in his own domain. He is a solid durable fighter, does not have much power and seems to be getting bashed about and smashed up badly in all of his recent fights'.

To conclude: This fight is Filip Hrgovic's big opportunity to really sky rocket his career 'I think for a very long time, he has been living off Jacknory stories that have been told about him. Sparring stories similar to Martin Bakole'.

If it happens, I would rate this fight as Moses Itauma's first real high jeopardy fight 'Filip Hrgovic although he is not a super dangerous fighter or formidable. This guy is going to come into this fight to win' etc.
