    I know excatly how to score fight. Most important is You punch other dude more than he punch You. Other is just help

    If u punch someone more in 9 round of 12 u cant lose fight because someone get too excited when someone got few problems


    I think You must learn how to score fight not me
    XD

    I suspect this gimme fight in Saudi is effectively step aside money for Hrgovic as regards the undisputed rematch. I expect the Saudis to keep the HW division very tight from here on in.

    here's a fact. your credibility regarding this subject :

    This content is protected


    there may or may not (can't be arsed. will wait for the fights) be facts existing in support of your interpretation. your interpretation of the sum of these (possible) facts =/= a fact in it's own right. it remains analysis no matter how much you wish it might be otherwise. as you said, facts don't care about your feelings.

    i think Big Bang takes him out, myself

    Love how ducking is now justified by the opponent bringing no money. If you are the champ, you bring the money. This is just an excuse to only fight a cherry picked opponent once every year and a half.

    Yup. Soooo many of Hrgovic's shots involved trying to put through Zhang's high guard or hitting him in the clinch (which is fine). But it was like every time Zhang touched Hrgovic he felt it. Running to compubox is always a red flag for me.

    Personally I didn't think Zhang v Hrgovic was a hard fight to score (based on what I favour). My issue has always been, EVEN IF some had it a close win for Hrgovic. A UD decision was disgrace and stank the place out.

    I don't know why this argument is still going on. Hrgovic got a gift, it was obvious

    Oh God are we going to enter another "Hrgovic is good" period because I don't want to pay attention to an irrelevant boring fighter whose best shot is a rabbit punch.

    What is Hrgovic's excuse for his opponent this weekend, a guy who was KO'd in 1 round by shot to bits Haye nearly 8 YEARS AGO. You telling me Hrgovic couldn't find a better opponent than this? :risas3: This is like going to a cemetary to dig up a body, and giving the body a zap of electricity so you can put it in the ring.

    Can't assume Hrgovic would have beaten Joyce, who he'd lost to in the WSB.

    This thread would of been infinitely more entertaining if the OP was a Di Mori fan rather than a Hrgovic one. I would love to see some die hard Mark Di Mori fan give a passionate post about how he will be taking over the division. :headbash

    De Mori is underestimated, what if he ends up KOing Hrgovic with bodyshots, who will be laughing then?

    Joshua is the only one who can't hit as hard as Zhang and has worse stamina and resilience.
