    After both allegedly disappointed in their last fights, who is the worse fighter right now?

    Yoka.
    No explanation needed. Hrgovic had a worse edition against Zhang, and that seems to have darkened the front of his career. I believe that in 2023 things will crystallize. And we will see if Hrgović is a "new hope" or just another B- class boxer.

    I thought Hrgovic looked very impressive in his last fight. He got off the deck to nearly floor Zhang and win a hard-fought decision. I thought it was a far more entertaining fight than Joshua-Usyk 2.

    It's the type of fight that will only make him better.

    Yoka just got steamrolled by a nobody.

    Going by Zhang, Filip could struggle with Bakole so jury out.

    Bakole never did anything as an amateur. He never did anything as a pro but get stopped by Michael Hunter, which isn't exactly a feather in his cap.

    That's why Yoka fought him. It was fun watching Yoka lose.

    But boxing is filled with one-hit wonders who come out of nowhere and go right back there.

    Yoka does not fit that well in the pro ranks. His punch resistance is sub par

    You thought Hrgovic looked impressive in his last fight?

    Think you need to book an opticians appointment.

    It was impressive the way he fought back and won. Zhang was the one out on his feet at the end, dying for the bell to ring.

    It's beneficial for a guy to have fights like that and come through it unscathed.

    I'd love to see a rematch.

    Numerous times throughout the fight he looked disinterested and like he wanted a way out.

    Then............ did he actually really win ? Lets be honest.

    Alarm bells for sure.

    And Ali said "Cut off the gloves. I can't see." And Dundee pushed him out.

    Every fighter has doubts. Zhang was running away from Hrgovic at the end of the fight because he didn't want to (or couldn't) fight anymore.

    I was impressed with Hrgovic and Zhang. I thought both guys fought great. I didn't see quit in either of them. They laid it all on the line.

    Yoka, not so much. More of a deer-in-the-headlights vibe.
