    Not even taking AJ, Fury, Wilder and the rest of the princeses into account, Parker and Kabayel are busy

    Who is next then

    I'd shoot for Wardley or Ajagba. Going to take some time because of that cut.

    Probably the IBF route. So Ajamba is my assumption.

    Yeah I think Wardley is great choice aswell, but what is up with his cuts, each time - Dubois, Joyce and now Adelaye, always big cut

    I hope it won't be Wardley, too much risk and not enough gain, Itauma too, I'd love it to be Parker or Kabayel but they're aiming for the title, Anderson would be an ideal opponent at this point...

    If he cant beat inexperienced Itauma, he cant get any belt, at all

    He fought for the interim belt and lost. There isn't anything particularly dirty about that.

    Actually even when Im big Joshua fan I see fight with him as blessing for Hrgovic. Almost as Dubois Hrgovic being worse in many case can win because Hard chin and spirit that fight. But it never happend.

    Itauma if he win with Whyte is bad choice. Hrgovic now is too slow for quick puncher. Even with his chin. And he dont box. He try fight. Thats not best way to deal with smaller puncher.
    Whyte can be good but Dillian lost today probably.

    I would pich Jarrell Miller. He is slow. This will be bloody fight. Think Hrgovic as bigger man can win decision. If he start box smart even not soo hard.
    Maybe Wardley.

    He should avoid quicker dudes. And I change mind. He should ask Klitschko for help. Its A FUK... SIN got 198 cm height and 208 reach and go to brawl almost all time.
    He should hire Wladimir for his coach...

    Consensus seems to be that facial bone structure is what causes it. Those of african or mestizo descent seem to have a facial structure a lot less conducive to their skin cutting when punched.

    the shape of his skull around his eye may have left to the eyelid being pulled up rapidly when he was hit by that shot and tearing.

    skin is skin. black folk and mestizos don't have thicker skin, yet they cut way less than white folk.
