On the undercard of Ruiz jr vs Joshua. Monlina isn't a top ten opponent, but he did go 9 rounds with Wilder. Look for Hrgovic to gain the exposure he needs, and quickly take out Molina. A top ten ranking by Ring Magazine and Box Rec should follow. Current Alphabet Rankings for Hrgovic WBC 11th WBA 8th IBF 9th. These rankings aren't as good as Ring Magazine's, but they do signal each organization is ready to sanction a title fight or possibly mandatory for him if his promoter pays the money for him to fight their #1 contender. I just hope Hrgovic gets the chance to stop Fury, Wilder or the winner of Ruiz jr vs Joshua before they lose or retire.
Hrgovic = Next heavyweight champion of the world You've had that on your profile for a while now, I'm starting to believe it myself now
Hrgovic is a stylistic nightmare for both Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua. A big, young heavyweight with power and a granite chin along with solid fundamentals. He would outbox Wilder and KO Joshua in my opinion. Not so sure about Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk but I think due to his age he will beat them both eventually.
To add some color, I said the same thing about Wlad before he went pro. The boxing people I know said what are you kidding foreign-born white guy? Yes, and l be not only champion but one of the greats. I have seen him fight often was my reply. 20 years later, handshakes and you called it were given. Prior to that I called Rhaman KOing Lewis in round 5 with the right hand...an amazing guess, but I did see the upset coming. Based on what I have seen on Hrgovic in the amauters and pro's, he has the stuff to become champion. Big, long, durable as heck ( never being floored ) with a good punch and developing skillset. We'll see. Can't wait.
Why do guys like molina keep getting given fights lol. He won't have anything for Hrgovic whatsoever. We need better quality journeymen such as that big African guy Dubois fought recently, at least he was in shape and came forward slinging some wreckless bombs. Better than lay down molina
I know the guy doing s&c for Molina in preparation for this fight. If Molina does the work, he'll be in top shape.
I'm just curious if Molina has too many miles on the odometer at this point. Legs looking stiffer than usual It will be interesting, Hrgovich is wide open & has a questionable chin
