Like jabbing to keep Hrgovic off instead of being in full attack mode with 100% in every punch at all timesgilgamesh wrote: ↑29 Aug 2026, 18:47He'll be back.

The leg injury excuse is too obvious, Frank.

Oh for sure, in this dire heavyweight scene there's still room for him.gilgamesh wrote: ↑29 Aug 2026, 18:41He'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.
But a lot of us were skeptical how he would fair a step up given the limited amateur backround with no senior experience and the massive UK hyping being done.
He's sort of like a heavyweight David Lemieux with a few Lomachenko moves, who blasted through oldies and lower opponents.
He looked like he was tiring from like the 4th round after he emptied the tank and the commentators were saying nothing - absolutely hate the cowardly biased media element it just disgusts. I wish there was an option to not hear the commentary at all and just watch the fight

Remember Wladimir Klitschko lost some fights due to gassing himself out, and ultimately his ability shown through, and he accomplished a lot.joshj909 wrote: ↑29 Aug 2026, 18:48Like jabbing to keep Hrgovic off instead of being in full attack mode with 100% in every punch at all timesgilgamesh wrote: ↑29 Aug 2026, 18:47He'll be back.

I'm not saying Itauma will do as much as him, but Wladimir is proof that you can learn how to pace yourself better, and Eliminate that as a weakness.

I mean he swung his whole body so probably caused his own leg injury

He swings way too hard and if you're missing or fighting a guy who swallows them up and keeps coming you're probably going to come a cropper.especially if you're not jabbing and just going for a KO.
I don't think blokes that huge are physically capable of fighting at that sort of pace. Lennox Lewis never fought at a fast pace.

You can sometimes lose some value as usually the thing you’re expecting to happen has started happening but when you go in play it takes some of the risk away.
Also betting in play on any fight and trying to guess early on if it goes the distance can be a good money spinner, especially for fans like ourselves who have watched god knows how many fights and can often sense if something is happening.

We have seen it so many times. Some guy at a high level takes your shots and wears you out.
Hrgovic's chin was perhaps more important than his punches in this fight
Moses fought well and showed massive heart, but all props to big Phil, a true fighting man

Hrg seemed to find a new gear quite suddenly - obviously he or the corner saw what they needed to see to go all out. Kinda suspect if Moses could somehow have weathered the storm that would have been it for Hrg.
Great fight and great win. Hrg vs Sanchez would be hard to pick. Kabayel sets him on fire though.

The British public were sold a false dream
Re: Round-by-Round: Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgovic - 29 August 2026
So the guy loses every single round and becomes World Champion due to the other guy exhausting himself.
Can't be too proud really. He didn't beat Itauma, Itauma beat Itauma.

It’s going to take a long time for Moses’ endurance to catch up to his talent. Any talk of a rematch is silly.
Hrg should really steer clear of Dubois though.

Yep. Not to say Itauma won't go on to win titles, he almost certainly will, he just wasn't prepared for this one due to his training and his past experience in the ring. His trainers and matchmakers need to hold their hands up here.gilgamesh wrote: ↑29 Aug 2026, 18:50Remember Wladimir Klitschko lost some fights due to gassing himself out, and ultimately his ability shown through, and he accomplished a lot.
