Hrgovic seems a logical next step and I think he is co-promoted by Queensberry, iirc someone confirmed it on here.

That cut looked pretty meaty Sean. I think at least 8 weeks, maybe a bit longer.

Brandon Moore has his sights set on DeAndre Savage next and Moses Itauma in the future.

Moore faces Savage at Fox Theatre in downtown Detroit on September 19. The bout will be broadcast on DAZN.

Moore, 31, believes that Itauma’s first-round knockout of the faded former contender Dillian Whyte isn’t as impressive as it seems.

“You fight someone who is 37 years old, of course, you are going to beat the old man, unfortunately,” Moore, 18-1 (10 KOs), told Boxing Scene. “These English polite guys come get your ass whooped by an American heavyweight. He is fighting these slow English guys who are polite.”

“These guys are boring heavyweights,” Moore said. “They give me Klitschko vibes.”

Moore also believes Itauma, the 19-year-old with a record of 13-0 (11 KOs), has yet to be pushed, and is eager for the chance to do so.

“He hasn’t been tested, and I want to be that test,” Moore said. “I am ready to see what he is about.”

Moore, of Lakeland, Florida, began boxing as an adult. He admits he is still learning, but the former college basketball player has put his competitive drive into boxing. He entered the sport with a mindset of facing the most formidable fighters he could. Moore had strong words for Savage ahead of their bout.

“I am going to make this fight look real easy,” Moore said. “I want to be known for taking the hard fights. I take the best fights I can, and my resume proves it.”

Savage, 10-0 (10 KOs), is a big puncher who is looking to step up in competition. Savage, a 34-year-old from Flint, Michigan, has won all of his bouts by knockout, except for a September no-contest to KeShawn Jackson in his hometown. Moore credits his recent wins over Stanley Wright and Sklyar Lacy to the experience he gained in a loss to Richard Torrez Jnr last year.

“I have been fighting for seven years just gaining experience,” Moore said. “The Torrez fight really set me up to beat these last two undefeated fighters.”

Moore believes that if he keeps winning, a fight with Itauma will get made. He explained why.

“It is going to get made, because as long as I say I want it,” Moore said. “If he doesn’t take it, that means he is ducking the fight.”

Of those two, Pulev is the worst and biggest waste of time, a 44 (?) Yr old punch bag who will go over in 1.

Thus, by the immutable Law of British Opponent Selection it will be Pulev.

With Ituama's youth his recovery rate will be swift so he could conceivably trounce them both within 4/5 months and gain valuable experience in the process.

If the above materialised it would start to feel like Moses would have earned a title shot (to some degree).

Exactly. What happened to prospects fighting 10, 12 times a year? Tyson had 15 fights in his first year!

Moses has fought twice this year, 3 rounds of one-sided action. Add a festive blow out of Pulev and what has he learned?

Maybe the problem is that he has been hyped so much, suddenly you have to pay the opponent world title money, and there are only a few shows that can pay it

If all we have to look forward to for Itauma this year is a one round blowout of an ancient has been, and likely have to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE then I'm fine, let's see what he does next year.
I mean, what is even the point of discussing a Pulev fight?

It honestly seems like all these fights will be online in some capacity within hours of them happening anyhow if you can't afford to pay for it, you can still easily catch it after the fact if you avoid spoilers.

It was actually more! 'The Toronto 5' and some of them were better journeymen than Moses has fought!
