    Let's see how Hrgovic beats Dubois.

    I think Hrgovic might be too much for Kabayel right now. It all depends on his mental state.

    I am not sure about Hrgovic. He seems quite arrogant without the results to back it up.

    Kabayel is doing what you want a contender to do. Beat other promising talent on the way up.

    Maybe, but he beat Zhang at his worst and his chin is very durable.

    Hrgovic might be the only one, who did not go down from Zhangs punches. Even Parker went down.

    Right now even with his thin resume Hrgovic is more proven than Kabayel, that narrow win over Zhang is better than Kabayel's wins over Chisora, Makhmudov and Sanchez.

    But I'm still not sold on Hrgovic, he's got some glaring weaknesses with his lack of head movement, over reliance on the right hand and lack of counter punching. He to me seems like a guy who looks great when he's dictating things but in a competitive fight, he has no plan B as his skillset is so narrow in scope, he's beatable.

    I'd favour Hrgovic right now simply because he's operated at a level that Kabayel hasn't stepped up to yet, but I would not be shocked if Kabayel gave Hrgovic a very close fight or even beat him.

    But let's be honest Hrgovic isn't going anywhere near Kabayel right now, he's got Dubois and then supposedly Joshua so Kabayel would be a step backwards.

    Lol Hrgovic beat one person of note in his career. The slow Zhang. Zhang has only beat one person of note. The even slower Joe Joyce. Kabayel has a better resume and it isn't even close

    Hrgovic has Dubois to sort first, Kabayel will be fighting Parker just watch which is a travesty as these are the two current Heavyweights with the best wins without argument and both should be going into Title shots at the first opportunity .
