Filip Hrgovic career is finished, and I am going down with the ship

He`s not good enough to fight for a world title, too easy to hit and too predictable, just does the same combo over and over, he`s very easy to time, Dubois out-classed him.

Dubois adapted and took over after a few rocky early rounds, Hrg is too predictable and just does the same combo over and over, plus he couldn`t hurt Dubois so might have become discouraged too.

 

He can rebuild but has major flaws.

He's very easy to hit and doesn't punch hard. He landed so many flush right hands on Dubois and couldn't even knock him down. Likewise Dubois landed plenty on him, if that was Joshua he'd be knocked out badly. Hrgovic reminded me of Bowe in that sense.

 

Exactly. This, & your lengthy post above, well summarized the state of the HW div. and puts into perspective Filip's loss in an unbiased manner. Saved me some time too

I, like nearly 80%, think he should and can rebuild. Most of the current top HWs have at least 1 loss. Usyk is the glaring exception at the very top. Agit K & Jared A are undefeated, but I doubt that lasts long if they start/ continue to fight top competition.

 

Great fight.

 

Turki seems to be a good dude to the fighters and genuinely wants to treat them well. I think it was classy to visit him in the hospital and tell him, then and there when the dude is at a low point and feeling like ****, that he'll have him back.

Same sort of thing, I enjoyed his in-ring recognition of Zinad's bravery/toughness and immediate public invite to come back and fight on another card.

As to Hrgovic, he did not look like a shot fighter at all. He looked like he took Dubois way too lightly and like he was in **** shape. He should take Turki up on that offer, return in the best shape of his life. I like the above mentioned idea of him fighting Makhmudov.

 

Lesson to other fringe contenders, you need to stay active and test yourself. Hrgovich was fighting absolute bums.. so I don't feel for him to be honest.

 

One thing Turki seems keen on is making the best fight the best, hopefully gone are the days that years go by with no names on the faces of boxing resumes.

Fury for example... its almost said and done and outside of Wlad his dodged just about everyone.

 

Bull****. Zhang hits many times harder than Joshua and couldn’t KO Hrgovjc. Get off of Joshua’s pecker.

 

This and also I was hoping he’d start throwing that right hand a little closer and finishing with the left hook. But he didn’t. Just mainly 1-2… 1-2.. 1-2

 

1 loss means hes finished? This is the problem with boxing causals. You guys really hurt the sport

 

I agree with your point in general 100% but you are wrong to apply this to the OP in this instance.

The OP is a big Hrgovic fan and is just extremely disappointed. I have to sympathize a bit with this, Hrgovic didn't get opportunities for a long time and now a mixture of poor preparation & taking Dubois lightly has let him down.

BTW, Hrgovic with proper 12-round stamina would still be a handful for anyone, he should definitely rebuild.
