Round-by-Round: Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgovic - 29 August 2026

[gilgamesh]

Noakes is a good, strong fighter but a level below.

Has strength and a good chin, just lacking a bit of skill and speed.

Might be a decent European Champion, but that's the Ceiling for him I think. If even that. Maybe more just Domestic.

[Ruthless-RKO]

How did Navarrete lose to him

That’s what I was wondering, like a flea bouncing around

Maybe he was too small ..

[TheLeprechaun]

It's hard to look good against a guy who just comes to run and collect a cheque.

[gregregegg]

Would like noaks vs zepeda… I think that gels pretty nicely.

[Taansend]

With her glasses & smile Anna Woolhouse looks like Stephen Merchant's sister.

[gilgamesh]

I hope Hutchinson beats Buatsi this time, but it'll be tough. Buatsi is a tricky guy.

[Taansend]

Good old Bricktop

Dubois v Wardley on my wedding day

If it's true love she won't mind rescheduling.

The German godfather of boxing, Bernd Bönte, says he knows Abel Sanchez well and is sure Hrgovic is in the best shape of his life. Bönte has it 55-45 in Itauma’s favor.

Almost a stone lighter than his last fight, lightest he's been for 7 years, Herg ain't come to make up the numbers.

[NazNaci1]

1-3 rounds, Moses stoppage.

Really can't see anything else.

[Taansend]

The fight will be about 2pm California time so we'll schedule the wedding for 4pm

[NazNaci1]

Ohh FFS, this numpty is back on comms....

[gregregegg]

I love DDD. So awkward trash talking. I really appreciate the effort. You can tell he has been practicing and it probably all goes smooth in front of the bathroom mirror, but then he gets near a mic and shits his pants and gets the tempo and emphasis all wrong…

[Nightmare Roy]

1-3 rounds, Moses stoppage.

Really can't see anything else.

I really can't see that happening, DDD hit him with everything and he was still standing, be one hell of a statement if he can though.

Quicker than Franklin, who came in Bo-Mac shape instead of fighting shape? Against Hrgovic, who's usually sharp early? I wouldn't be so sure. Moses is still a novice at this level.

[Taansend]

I can see an early stoppage for Itauma. Not a kayo, just overwhelmed by speed.

I can see Itauma using his speed to cruise to a decision.

I can see Itauma doing a Haye v Thompson & running out of steam later on.

In other words, I don't know

You forgot who the ref is..

[NazNaci1]

Home town British style stoppage.....might be possible.

But mainly you got Itauma some kinda way

Hrgovic to get bloodied early (his left eyebrow looks awful), Foster steps in as soon as he can.

Fair point.

[Heldenjaeger]

This could just as easily turn out to be a hyped-up Corrie Sanders against a better Vitali Klitschko.
