Just look up itauma v Hrzgovic (full fight)

Very smart and deceptive fight by Team Filip.
Played Possum the whole way through like Ali v Foreman.
Then, at the moment Moses gassed himself on a flurry of attacks. Filip turned from barely throwing, to full on attack and put the young Dope on the Rope for the towel to be chucked in.

"STUPID! HE BOXED LIKE AN AMATEUR" Filip Hrgovic

BRUTAL REACTION TO Stunning Win Over Moses Itauma

[Jasin]

Also reminded me of Bararres dismantling the arrogant, cocky fast punching Prince Naseem Hamad.

Itauma's punches were faster, but Hrgovic's punches were way more heavier and harder when they did connect.
Fairy taps v hammers.

Amazing how many experts and commentary not only got it wrong, but just couldn't read the fight.
Only Shaun Porter would have seen that coming from the commentary box.

Mike Tyson in his prime would have beaten both of those guys on the same night -
each in under 2 rounds - maybe even 1st round knockouts.
Tyson even looked a lot more scary - more solid too.
When Tyson punched he used his whole body -
he was like a spring unwinding from his knees to his hips , his shoulders
and then his arms - that way he hit with full power -
those 2 guys punched like girls -

and not only Mike Tyson -
in their prime - all the legends of the 1970s : Ali, Foreman, Frazier & Shavers
would have made short work of those 2 arse clowns.
A punch from Shavers was like a freight train.
The standards in boxing have gone down.

Hard to say. Definitely less rigged matches and corruption than back then, that's for sure.

That being said those 2 guys are heavier and taller than I thought:

AI Overview

Filip Hrgović stands 6 feet 6 inches (198 cm) tall and weighed 232.6 pounds (105.5 kg) for his recent fight,

while Moses Itauma stands 6 feet 4½ inches (194 cm) tall with a 79-inch reach and weighed 241.7 pounds (109.6 kg).

[Jasin]

Yeah. The heavyweights of today are generally taller and heavier than during Ali years so to speak.
Even George Foreman would have it tough going against today's guys.
