"Look how scared I am, I am so scared," Filip Hrgovic said, shaking his hands to emulate a quiver, and stretching his face into a Home Alone poster-esque expression. The thing is, he probably should be scared.
That's not to say he should be scared of Moses Itauma specifically, although Itauma has compiled considerable, compelling evidence as to why one would fear him; rather, Hrgovic's cause for concern is the broader dynamic he has created ahead of their fight.
Ahead of Saturday's world heavyweight ***** le clash, the one word he has used liberally, perhaps even haphazardly, is "kid".

"It's no offence to him, but I just saw that kid, that young man inside of him. But we were all stupid when we were young," Hrgovic told reporters this week. "I saw that kid in his eyes, in his behaviour, and in his attitude. We've all been like that, but I just don't think he's aware of a lot of things, he's not been through a lot of things. He's just young.
