    Very good matchup!

    Two prime heavyweights, seems an even match-up with the outcome very difficult to predict.

    Badass! With the titles more or less on lock for the next year these are the fights we need, and these young fighters need. I'll take Hrgovic late stoppage though if he continues to stand so upright Hunter is going to catch him with some bombs.

    Hunter is a sizable step up but he needs to make a statement if we're to believe the hype.

    Hrgovic is a sucker for overhand rights, and that's from bums like Eric Molina, The Bounty Hunter is going to mangle him.

    Hunter is slick and Hrgovic seems to have a good defense but otherwise fights really tall, almost too tall. Hunter will catch him with too many counters to the chin. Great fight and great win for Hunter!

    Hrgovic's rather stiff upper body stance will be costly as the fight wears on, with Hunter increasingly countering him with overhand rights and left hooks, en route to a UD.

    Let me get this right..

    Hunter is too slick a boxer to lose??

    The Hunter who went to war with Povetkin who really should have lost given the not paid knock down..

    The same Povetkin who was getting beaten up badly and out boxed by Whyte who landed a good night nurse to win..

    The same Whyte who was getting totally outboxed by Chisora before landing a hail mary..

    Hrgovic will batter him into next week in a couple of rounds. This little fat crusier will be way out of his depth.

    Can't wait to see it..

    Great fight if it comes off. Hunter's speed, movement and awkwardness will cause any of these giants problems (but Usyk's won't doe lol) but Hrgovic is very adept at keeping the fight at his range, throws a lot of shots all of which are heavy, has very good timing, and obviously he packs a punch too so I see both having success landing heavy blows against each other and both have very good chins too. Hence why it would make for a great fight.

    Lol Hunter fought life and death for a draw against a 40 year old past prime Povetkin (i think he did enough to win, but barely) and yall think he can beat Hrgovic

    LMFAO

    Hrgovic's last cesspool of an encounter with Booker made me ill so I'd have to pick Hunter

    This is mismatch. Hunter is too small and doesn't have enough power to win. I'm for this fight. It will move Hrgovic in position for a title shots.

    Hrgovic wins 9-3 if Hunter can last the distance. I think Hunter gets stopped around round 8.
