    Usyk is 38...
    And Hrgovic throws arm punches.

    wasn't the least bit competitive, except for one round.

    Hrgovic is a problem. He doesn't hit hard enough to be a top guy but he's long, throws a lot ,and has a granite chin. If he didnt cut easy I think he'd have beaten Dubois

    I disagree - he looked very impressive. He's not Usyk, but he's a good heavyweight.

    That was one of the most entertaining heavyweight fights of the year we just watched.

    Adeleye put in a decent performance for somebody who isn't world level. Hrgovic won this wide but still an underperformance from him. He has this bizarre lack of power for such a big guy. His lack of power convinced everyone that Dubois had a much better chin than he does, only for him to go against Usyk and get starched by a supposed non puncher.
    He also still overextends himself too much early. I don't think his stamina has ever been as bad as people say, it's just that he throws so many punches trying to stop his opponent that he's left a hittable and sloppy mess by the later parts of the fight when they're still standing. If he paces himself even decently well then he'd be able to go 12 easily.

    500 arm punches.
    The fight was competitive, even tho Hrgovic arguably won every round. It happens every now and then.
    As in the rounds were competitive, but clearly Hrgovic did the better work in all of them.

    There will always be avid Hrgovic worshippers. They claim he was destroying Dubois until the TKO. lol.

    Hrgovic has the best chin in the division. Who else can you make an argument for? Usyk is the only one

    He's never been dropped amateur or pro and has a poor defence and he's fought and sparred a lot of huge punchers, the biggest punchers in the sport, murderous punchers

    Yet Usyk obliterated Dubois and Hrgovic didn't. Hrgovic throws arm punches mixed with one or two straight rights.

    It is easy to throw punches when your opponent isn't throwing back. Had Hrgovic took some punches we would have seen the same gassed Hrgovic by rnd 6

    Adeleye was never really hurt. He was exhausted. Big difference.

    Hrgovic needs to stop showing off his chin. Yeah, he has an incredible one but there is no point to prove it. He needs to work on his defense and his power.

    Hrgovic should be pushed into the fire against Parker or Kabayel, he would probably be outboxed but he should take the risk...

    Yeah Dubois' headbutts were too much for Hrgovic that night.
