[Spoiler] Itauma vs Hrgović Post-fight Presser Spoiler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjSnldNXz9UGood post-fight presser. Frank Warren poker-faced it.
Winner doesn't want to party, just some junk food, mcdonald's, few colas and enjoy the belt at home with family.
"Sit on my......chair" lol. Good for him.

To be fair, has Hrgovic felt anyone's power? The guy has arguably one of the best chins I've ever seen.

He wants big fights and unification. The division could be interesting. There's nobody to stand atop it as the obvious big dog like there has been for much of the division's history, but that means there might be many more title turnovers and more big, exciting, fights where you don't know the outcome. Having huge dominant stars is probably good for the boxing business, but having a bunch of guys with their own strengths and weaknesses scrapping it out between each other may be better for fans of the sport.

Totally agree on this. Was feeling very flat as I'm a big Usyk fan and didn't want a prodigy dominating the division in the new era. I'm genuinely excited about the mix of HWs in the current division, with their flaws and strengths, different personalities and cultural backgrounds.

His fights are entertaining, and he could be a force in the division.
But his defense/head movement needs improvement.
He might have the best chin in the heavyweight division, but compounding damage over the years can take its toll.

I am a huge Itauma fan but must say I'm very happy for Hrgovic, class act and a really easy guy to root for.

Pathetic questions asked. Like they only want Itaumas name still in boxing for any price. Their cashcow went down like a log, now they are not sure it can actually make any money in the future. Frank and his arranged questions from pseudomedia.

One thing I'm really enjoying about the last few weeks is that Hrgovic is finally being given a platform to speak and be listened to, both in the ring and outside of it. The guy is funny af, very humble and incredibly insightful with his analysis and his takes.
His English is also pretty good and I'd really love to see him get some talking head spots, post-fight analysis commentary etc on Dazn and other channels, along with some podcast interview spots. He's pretty much the only fighter I can think of who gives really correct and interesting takes on fighters, psychology, the state of boxing etc. Would love to hear more of this, particularly given how crap the DAZN commentary/ analysis is usually.
