    Round 2

    Hrgović flailing a bit with his shots now, bringing the right down unevenly after jabbing his way in. McKean circling counter-clockwise and pushing out light jabs to body and head, keeping his elbows tucked to prevent body shots. Hrgović slicing his way in and landing, albeit awkwardly. Barely any power punches from McKean, just lots of leaning to either side, counter-jabbing, movement and tying up. Hrgović slips a couple of slow right jabs and lands a 1-2.

    10-9 Hrgović

    20-18 Hrgović

    Andy Lee is as boring as Joshua.
    Who's idea was it to make him one of DAZN's main commentators?

    Round 3

    Hrgović is catching southpaw jabs on his left palm and then shooting the orthodox jab into the abdomen of McKean. Lots of circling and waiting from both. Long 1-2 downstairs by Hrgović. Messy clinch, both hitting with the free hand. The ref warns McKean fairly for rabbit punches. Hrgović leading with a right hand on the body and then sweeping his left arm across to disrupt McKean's planned counter right hook, basically just knocking his hand aside.

    10-9 Hrgović

    30-27 Hrgović

    Remember McKean signing for matchroom was a huge coup

    Round 4

    Hrgović is scoring with the right hand regularly now. McKean holding a lot. Hrgović is content to just wait for the ref break as McKean hugs and carries him around the ring, and start over. Wild left hands from McKean on the break, easily dodged by Hrgović simply leaning away. Hrgović blipping him where he can.

    10-9 Hrgović

    40-36 Hrgović
