Well done Cameron    Boxing isn't usually my sort of thing, but still...

This is a tough tough fight for itauma.  lots of people expecting him to steamroller hrgovic.  

 

Make no mistake if he DOES steamroller him, it moves him to be one of the best fighters in the heavyweight division. 

 

I've actually put a £5 bet on hrgovic at 9-1 that's long odds for a fight this close. 

 

Hrgovic is tough but he’s slow and easily  cut. I don’t see any way that he wins. Itauma early rounds for me.

I imagine you are right, but the one thing we don't know about itauma is how he reacts if he gets clocked. 

 

It was a throw away bet, but it's not a 9-1 fight this.  

 

 

Nah do agree.

 

Worth a punt just think you'll lose  

[MPH]

Difference in class is unreal…

[Izzy]

Ridiculous he's only 21. If he can stay fit and healthy the world's his oyster.

[MPH]

Those punches are hurting me let alone Hrgovic..

You'd ahve thought they'd be enough to to wake Hrgovic up by now  

[MPH]

I’m still not sure what Hrgovic’s tactics are, other than to try and stay alive…

Get to round 8 and hope Itauhma tires I imagine.

right. But Moses is such a great counter punch I don’t think even that will help much..

[MPH]

Itauma is winning the 5th but it’s a bit better from Hrgovic

He'll be lucky to get there. 

 

The Gas tank on Itauhma is the biggest question mark about him though, alright being a great counter puncher but when your knackered that evaporates. 

[Izzy]

Good stuff this. Hrgovic is no mug is he.

Itauma is starting to look a bit gassed, actually!

[Manwell Pablo]

Yeah, he's starting to find him now.

 

Still a big ask.

[MPH]

Moses needs to do more than a 2-3 punch combo… I don’t think he will 1 punch KO him. Needs to shake that brain around and even then he won’t KO him, he will probably just go all wobbly.

[Manwell Pablo]

I mean if he was clever he'd box a bit now and stop trying to take his head off. 

[PhillippaT]

Well, if Itauma wants to prove he can go the distance, then...

[chuck'em]

Even though he's tiring the speed of Moses' combos is insane 

[MPH]

There comes a time though, surely, that if Hrgovic is serious about wanting to win that he’s going to have to start taking some risks..

[MPH]

Don’t try and brawl with him..

[chuck'em]

Gassed himself there

It's going to wind up like that fight on Babylon 5 innit?    (Maybe not)

[MPH]

So if Itauma wins this then he has to fight the winner of Wardley Dubois because there will be questions asked about why could Dubois KO him and Itauma not…

Fvcking hell
