    Dubois has improved a lot in terms of stamina and chin. Shocked that Hrgovic faded like that. Did he take this lightly?

    He's definitely improved. Big time mentally.

    No head movement and he never fixed it. It was bound to happen.

    Fwank's probably the most resilient boxing promotor in history. He was down and out a few years ago.

    Does it also make Zhang look overrated aswell ?

    The first was confirmed by a punch, but the worse one on the left I don't know - think that might have been heads.

    Hrgovic didn't really seem to complain

    fascinating fight. DD's physique and stamina do look a bit suspect, tbh. body fat ratio and traps remind me of peak-PED Holyfield

    Low blows, headbutts. Dubois is a cheating POS.

    I can't be happy for Dubois after that. If he'd stopped him legitimately sure but the guy was headbutting and rubbing his bald ass head into Hrgovic.

    I called the following:
    Parker over Wilder
    Parker over Zhang
    Kabayel over Sanchez
    Usyk over Fury
    Dubois over Hrgovic

    This is what happens when heavyweights actually fight eachother. Upsets are pulled because we finally see guys on similar levels fight each other.
    Wilder is next.

    sounds like he got a cut after a jab salvo then dubois kept on landing on it. the other cut is definetly a butt....from a man who isnt watching this and using 2 radio broadcasts to make my judgment.

    Wow, I must admit I have been underrating Dubois, he showed real grit in there I only gave him 3 rounds going into that last round, but he sucked it up and simply wanted it more.

    Big question marks over Hrgovic. His gas tank has to be put into question and he needs to improve his defence, he's far too easy to hit.
