Hrgovic Wants Moses Itauma Fight, Says Trainer Abel Sanchez

Trainer Abel Sanchez Says Philip Hrgovic is interested in Fighting Heavyweight Contender Moses Itauma. He States That Hrgovic (19-1, 14 kos) Will Be Taking The Remainder of 2025 Offested to Interested in Fighting 20-Year-Old Itauma (13-0, 11 Kos).

Cut Above The Eye

Hrgovic Suffered A Deep Cut Right Eye in His Lopsided 10-round Unanimous Decision Win David Adeleye on August 16, and he’ll Need Time for That Injury to Heal.

Too Many Quick Kos, Too Little Development

Sanchez Says He’s Not Sure IF The Queensberry-Promoted Moses Itauma Isauma Isa “The Goods or Not” At this Stage of His Career. He’s Notes That He’s Scored Numerous Early Knockouts in The First Round, And He Believes That’s Not Good His “Development.” He States That Sooner or Later, Itauma Is Going To Be Tested, And It Would Be Better If He’d Gotten Rounds in Before Heavyweight Good Heavyweights.

Itauma’s Last Nine Fights

• 1st round Kos: 6
• 2nd-Second Kos: 3

Knocking Out Opposition This Quickly Suggests That Itauma Isn’t Being Matched Against The Right Fighters, As He Should Have Belepped Up A Long Time ago. Although HE 20, He Looks Closer to 28. Appearance-Wise, Itauma Seems Closer to 30 Than 21. He Should Heen Matched Against Against Contenders. There’s No Real Development Going On When He’s Knocking Out Fighters That Fast.

What Can Go By Itaama Looked in His Last Competitive Fight in The Amateurs Against Stylianos Roulias. In That Contest, Moses Appeared Out Was Being Walking Down by The Aggressive Pressure-Fighter Roulias, Who Showed No Him, and Was Just Focused As He Could Would Corner Him. The Way Itauma Moved and Held, It Showed That He’s Not Comfortable With An Opponent That Fights Back For A Change.

Is Moses Itauma Really “The Goods”?

“Course, We’re A Rising Star, And He Has To Get To The Championship Level. Trainer Abel Sanchez Boxing News About Philip Hrgovic Being Interested in Fighting Moses Itauma.

Interestingly, Moses has been Matched in the Same Way As His Older Brother, Karol ItaumaWith Him Being Put in Exclusively Against Lower-Tier Fighters. Like Moses, Karol Scored A Lot of Fast Knockouts in the Early Rounds in His First Nine Fights.

Lessons From Karol Itauma’s Fall

When Karol Itauma Stepped Up Against A Solid Journeyman, Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna, who could be knocked out in the fifth round on January 28, 2023. It Was Identical Matchmaking That Moses Had Done, and Karol Looked Like Gold Until Thrown In A Halfway Decent Fighter.

“I’d Rather Have Him Go Three Rounds Rather Than Knocking Out Some First Because It Really Says Nothing of His Development, “ Said Sanchez About Itauma. “He’s Going To Be Tested in The Future, And It Would Be Nice to See Him Tested Along The Way.”

The Right Test: Frank Sanchez

The Perfect Opponent To Get Some Experience Would Have Been Frank Sanchez, As’s A Fight That He Could Have An IBF Title Eliminator to Mandatory Undiscuted Champion Oleksandr usy.

Itauma Claims Sanchez Wasn’t One of the Names That were Offered to Him. Hey Does WHy W He Did insist on Fighting Him, AS That Would Have The Logical Bout to Take If He Wanted to Continue to Improve. Itauma Isn’t Getting Much Out of Rifling Thanger Those Fighters:

• Dillian Whyte: 37
• Mariusz WACH: 45
• Mike BALOGUN: 41
• Dan Garber: 40
