Filip Hrgović could regret calling Moses Itauma a kid

Hrgović is putting extra pressure on himself before his biggest test yet

Filip Hrgović keeps trying to put pressure on Moses Itauma, right before the fight starts, often with provocative remarks. He repeatedly calls him a “kid” and accuses him of various things.

“His head is already in the clouds, he’s already delusional, and I think it can ruin someone who’s not ready for that kind of fame, that kind of money. It can ruin your soul, it can make you lose yourself”

said Filip Hrgović, among other things.

However, all this trash talk could backfire. Moses Itauma continues to seem very calm and hardly engages with it, and of course, Filip Hrgović is also raising the stakes for himself with his statements. If he ultimately loses to a kid, that would obviously be pretty bitter for him. Despite his boasts, he’s right about one thing. Filip Hrgović is the first real litmus test for Moses Itauma. If Filip Hrgović forces his opponent into the later rounds, that’s a whole new world for Moses Itauma, one he hasn’t often experienced so far. Moses Itauma has to prove here that he really is a star of the future. If he wins this fight, his future looks incredibly bright.

I believe Moses Itauma will win this fight and that he won’t make any major concessions to his opponent. Afterward, I’m very curious to see if Filip Hrgović will show him respect. But first, Moses Itauma has to win.
