    Hrgović was up on the cards at the time of the stoppage. The rematch would be a fun fight.

    It was a close fight but I'm a bit fed up with rematches. I want to see Hrgovic v Wardley or Big Bad Bakole

    Agreed! I'm a relatively new fan and that was one of the first fights I ever watched live, alongside my roommate at the time, and I honestly couldn't believe Dubois kept going. He was basically just walking into that terrible thudding right hand from Hrgovic for what felt like the first five or six rounds. It seemed like Hrgovic basically just exhausted himself from using Dubois' face as a punching bag for his straight right for 20 minutes.

    I also think it's an entertaining and engaging matchup stylistically and visually: big, walk-you-down caveman-esque Hrgovic stomping in with skull-rattling straights, and athletic, explosive, sometimes-able-to-time-and-counter Dubois coming back in bursts.

    This fight is unlikely to happen, but I'd give Hrgovic a decent chance to win. Who knows what state Dubois is in after his latest loss, he seemed supremely confident before hand so I could imagine he has crashed hard.

    Would like to see him vs Kabayel but think neither side has sufficient sized fanbase to make fight lucrative
    Rematch vs Dubois I think Hrgovic would win but don’t think Dubois will accept. He will fight vs other UK boxers for pay

    welcome to the fandom.

    If you like Hrgovic, did you see his most recent fight, against Joyce? Check it out. It was a great fight, even if Joyce is faded and Hrgovic is limited, didn’t matter.

    Hrgovic keeps insulting Bakole, but that coward turned down that fight like 5 times already, and I am not exaggerating

    Kabayel is picking his fights, his goal is the belt, he will fight Usyk, or he will become WBC champ when he retires

    Set aside his loss, his motivation is the question here, he was already IBF champ, and he made like 70 million in Usyk fight, he can retire haha
