    Hrgovic is winning but this is boring. Fighting like a coward.

    If Mckean has a tank, he should let it all go in the final 5 rounds.

    Don't think Jack Catterall's big brother can handle anything other than a slow tempo.

    McKean will get a point taken off him for holding soon.

    Round 7

    Hrgović is getting lazier & lazier in there. McKean with another strong start. McKean landing left uppercuts on the body almost at will, keeping the right arm extended in Hrgović's face. When they clinch it seems to be Hrgović hanging on to stall for longer. BLATANT rabbit punches in full view of the ref by Hrgović and not a warning. McKean sticking with the working formula, jab or extended right arm up top, followed by a left uppercut downstairs before a clinch.

    10-9 McKean

    68-65 Hrgović

    Hrgovic looks worse than Tony Yoka

    Joshua should have took this fight without hesitation

    Too many voices in McKean's corner and it looks like he's paying no attention to any of them.

    Round 8

    Hrgović is looking tired, as the commentators point out, further elaborating that McKean is seeing this and drawing self-belief from it. Strewth. McKean sallying in behind a right jab, body turned side-on, and then plugging the left downstairs and/or tying up. Hrgović doing practically nothing except windmill his arms in the pocket and slap at the back of McKean's head. McKean peppering Hrgović's guard with the southpaw jab. McKean backs Hrgović onto the ropes with a 1-2, scoring the jab and just missing the left cross as Hrgović ducks and sags the top rope to meet the middle. Big combo by McKean just before the bell.

    10-9 McKean

    77-75 Hrgović

    Can we organise a worldwide boycott to stop the fight happening if Hrgovic actually gets a world title shot.

    Didn’t Hrgovic beat the “48 year-old Chinese fella” who beat the guy with a mandible chin who Joshua was “clout chasing” by calling out his name? There are levels in this game.
