    And then Hrgovic should rematch Zhang!
    And Zhang should get a rematch with Parker!
    Of course Parker should rematch Bakole, and give a fair amount of time to prepare.
    Naturally, Chisora rematching Kabayel would be warranted.
    If Whyte beats Itauma, he should rematch any one of the following: Parker, Joshua, Chisora, Fury.

    I love that at heavyweight we get nothing but rematches.

    wouldn't matter if theyd return to fighting 2-4 times a year, instead contenders now fight once a year or less.

    Not going to happen. He had his chance, and blew it.

    Would be a good fight even if rematches are so boringly common these days. The first fight was enjoyable.

    Hrgovic was actually beating Dubois before the cut and the last round, was similar to Vitali V Lennox in a sense. But, if Hrgovic didn't get cut he may have gassed out considering his suspect stamina.

    This, after being face planted by Usyk Dubois needs a tune up , maybe 2 against D level opposition before tackling a decent heavyweight again. That's what a smart manager would do anyway.

    Others should take advantage and call out Dubois. When Ngannou did well against Fury, AJ fought him. Fury should, as Dubois defeated AJ himself. Zhang should, to revitalize his career. Even Kabayel.

    Hrgovic definitely needs to stay busier.

    Croatian will beat him next time.
    It's possible anyway.
    And that's why it'll be tough to make that fight now.
    Dubious will be in 'rebuild' intensive care like his friend AJ went through numerous times.

    Not really. He was clearly fatigued after the 4th, and it only got worse. Rounds 6 and 7 were clear Dubois rounds, and he was winning round 8 too before the stoppage. Also, Hrgovic got hurt bad in rounds 7 and 8.
    At best he was ahead by a point, but Dubois took over the fight after the 6th round. Maybe Hrgovic could have tuned it around had it not been for the cuts, but thats not what happened.

    Hrgovic wins the rematch, he punched himself out last time as he had no respect for Dubois, it’s still a fight that could go either way, but I narrowly favour Hrgovic, and I did before Dubois’ Usyk rematch also.

    Dubois will KO Hrgovic and AJ again, and then Kabayel. And then there will be a 3rd Usyk fight, lol.
