I think hype job is a bit harsh. He was arguably boxing the best iv seen someone box for 4 rounds. Would of stopped nearly everyone…

But experence matters.

He'll be back. He'll learn a lot from this fight.

Like jabbing to keep Hrgovic off instead of being in full attack mode with 100% in every punch at all times

The leg injury excuse is too obvious, Frank.

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.

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.

Oh for sure, in this dire heavyweight scene there's still room for him.

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.

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.

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

Happy days, i thought it was Way too soon and Hrg could supset the script, should have gone with my instincts, started watching too many YouTubeers and it put me off.

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

I mean.. AJ had it easier to Martin. He basically sold him the belt

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

Course he is.

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.

I don't think I'd hate a Hrgovic vs Dubois rematch actually at this point in their careers.

deadpan wrote: ↑29 Aug 2026, 18:23 I can't see how Itauma has an 'era' when his stamina is so ridiculously bad.

Worked for Mike Tyson

Tyson's stamina was never this bad. Almost disrespectful to compare them.

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.

That was his tactic.

Moses had not gone passed 6 rounds.. 3 rounds later.. he was gone!

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.

You clearly didn't watch the fight. Itauma was getting hammered.
