Great fight.. you could tell after he withstood the first few rounds it deflated the young man and it was only a matter of time

I am big on Moses but he went into this fight believing his hype. If Zhang couldn’t take him out, you know Filip isn’t going anywhere.

Fun fight. That pollack punches kinda weird

Moses taken out on a stretcher, he was badly hurt.

Bigger guy with more power outlasts smaller, faster better boxer. Great fight, both guys showed great heart. Speed usually trumps power but not this time.

Itauma fought like an idiot at the end there. He was comfortably winning the fight and gassed himself out. Good job by Itauma’s corner to throw the towel after the first big punch.

Whoa brother you need to learn some history, he’s Croatian not Polish, world of difference. The Croats have been fighting off invaders for over 1500 undefeated years and are some of the toughest most hardened warriors in history. That’s where Crocop is from.

Did you see he was carted out on a stretcher? That is not a good sign. He’s very young and although people love to compare him to Mike Tyson, Tyson had a much better amateur pedigree. That experience is tremendously important and let’s kids fight many different styles and qualities of opposition where they can learn to win and lose. He needs to have some more time going into deep water and overcoming adversity. This could be a substantial set back or it could be a helpful lesson moving forward depending on how it’s managed.

As a Croatian I appreciate you letting these Philistines know some history.

Gotta go back and watch this fight. Boxing has become even more stale than MMA in recent times for me.

His equilibrium was buzzing.

He was stumbling back and forth for a while.

He took a big beating.

I reckon his attitude will help him.

Held off the Mongols as well.

Also Stipe Miocic is Croatian

I was surprised to find out they were Catholic and not Eastern Orthodox

I think he was rocked a bit, but mostly gassed and I do believe he injured his leg late in the fight
