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

[MasterG]

That's what happens when a novice heavyweight fights a true mature world rated contender.

That has to be ranked as one of the best heavyweight fights in recent times.

[Kilburn]

Damn it was a step too far.

Moses by far the better boxer but the required endurance for a 12 round fight is some way off at this stage.

[Glass Joe]

With ben Davidson in his corner Hrgovic has a chance

[jameswilson]

How many of you won money of big Phil??

75 quid in play at 7/1.

Won both the in play bets I made tonight along with the Moldovan fella.


which is nice.

I reckon he’s got some kind of leg injury. He was wincing hard and I don’t think it was from the pain of taking a punch. I think he over rotated when he missed one of those wind milling shots.

Never seen such a silent crowd

They were sold the dream that they were going to see history

[jtourettes]

Weasely Davison wanted to time his towel throwing with the ref stoppage. pudendum.

[Ruthless-RKO]

He needed rounds.

Hrgovic played a blinder

[Ruthless-RKO]

Please leave Ben Davison.

Wardley should leave him too

[deadpan]

Give Hrg his props. Did what he said he'd do. Delighted for him.

Anyone else think Itauma is done? How the fook does he come back? His stamina is shocking. And every opponent knows it now.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Script ripped up!!

That doesn't fall down under pressure.

Disgustingly biased commentary

Fell into Hrgovic's trap. Smart game plan. Use his durability to take him long.

Moses has been exposed imo. He's flashy for 3-4 rounds like Josh Kelly and others.

Failed the step up.

[MightyWarrior]

Shocker

Ben Davidson hopelessly out of ideas, but somehow fumbles the towel in slightly late as usual

Out of ideas? Itauma was exhausted in round three, I'm surprised he even made it that far.

Yes. How about slow down and let’s win this on points? the guys got a f*cking chin of iron

Unfortunately I had it combined with mosses jolly… :(

The commentary is so biased you could make an argument that it is discriminatory

Yup, he's paid his dues to the game.

Pace was already very low in round 3.

Exactly. Was his to win.

[Controversial]

Not the end of Moses, big jump up in class and not many rounds under his belt. Maybe similar to Haye getting stopped by Thompson.

He's got a lot of natural talent still no doubt. Pacing yourself, and stamina are issues that can be improved. It's a tough loss for him, but it's not something that completely spells doom for his career or Championship hopes I don't think. Though obviously sets them back at least 2 or 3 years I'd think.

[forcefraser]

I was gonna put a grand on that

I had a great win. Hrgovic straight win and a stoppage 7-9

[jtourettes]

How many of you won money of big Phil??

Only stuck 20 on the stoppage at 9/1. Would've done more but Foster

[londonwar]

Now we know why itauma was padded and kept in the stable. Hype job
