    Amir Mansour is a good test, he's underrated by most because of his age.

    A great test for someone in his 6th pro fight. Hrgovic's team are doing a great job with him so far. Same can't be said for Ivan Dychko.

    He punches similar to Vitali and from a distance his stance and poise reminds me of Corrie Sanders,just orthodox

    I don't see Sanders at all. I see the best version of Andrew Golota, a bit faster with his feet and hands offensively speaking. Maybe Vitali's chin, and willingness to mix it.

    I think most people are in agreement Hrgovic is the number 1 HW prospect

    Well, we'll see vs Mansour. He's 26, Wlad was WBO champ at 24 in a strong era, needs to up the ante.

    Ivan Dychko has never impressed me, not as an amateur or as a pro.

    Hrgovic has the potential to be a champion, but I'm a bit nervous about him fighting a dangerous southpaw puncher like Mansour on short notice, since he was preparing to face a right-handed tomato can in Cornish.

    I remember when Wladimir Klitschko faced a southpaw puncher in Corrie Sanders after sparring with right-handed boxers.

    He better has Vitalis chin because Mansour is certainly gonna test it. Very dangerous fight.

    Why does Mansour have the betting odds of a tomato can? +1300 or so. Ridiculous.

    I bet that Hrgovic will be exposed in this fight. He use one style for every fight.

    To be fair to Hrgovic he hasn't had to fight any differently so far, that's what happens when you fight push overs.

    Mansour should be a good test for a novice though, he's not like the journeymen Hrgovic has faced so far he'll actually have some ambition and look to win and has the power to hurt most heavies.

    I'm undecided about Hrgovic at the moment I see flaws in his game in regards to how upright he is and how little he moves his head. Also need to see how he handles himself on the inside where he doesn't like to fight. But Mansour maybe good enough to make Hrgovic show us something different and get out of cruise control for the first time as a pro.
