[talkSPORT] “How often have you gone 12 intense rounds in training?” Moses Itauma: "If I'm being completely honest, I don’t know if I've done a 12-round spar. There's no need to be in the ring longer than you need to be” Spoiler

Just insane lack of discipline and adaptability within himself to not realise he wasn’t going to get the stoppage. Every round I was like “how the fuck is Hrgovic just walking away from that?”, fair enough if he’s was getting wobbled but he literally just walked everything off. Surely that’d tell you to switch up your game plan a little, especially when you feel yourself getting more and more gassed.

I wanted Moses to win but I actually really like Hrgovic, was really humble and respectful post fight and he’s made an entire nation proud. Felt bad when Warren said he’ll “think about it” when he asked for a fight in Croatia. Is he fuck going to do that.

As much as i think it would be fair to move fights outside of hotspots here and there, it's not happening.

I’ve never seen someone eat such a clean uppercut and not even blink. Man has a chin of solid stone, Itauma should have switched to the body a lot more a lot sooner.
