    This is almost a mismatch really.

    Hrgovic plays pinball with Allen’s head all fight with his one-two and his long reach. Could see a late TKO or a shutout on the cards.

    We should be seeing Dave Allen against David Adeleye next.

    Dave Allen is coming off a loss from a gatekeeper at best.

    Not a good fight for Allen’s health. He’ll take a beating, but he’s too brave to quit. I just hope his corner will pull him out before he seriously damaged.

    This will be a one sided beatdown. Hrgovic will win every round but the crowd will get loud when Dave throws a sloppy overhand right every couple of rounds.

    Not a great choice tbh
    I hope it's a fantastic pay day (can't see it as Hrgovic brings little money considering where he is ranked)
    Because he won't come out of this fight looking good imo and that might affect his future earning plans

    Plus I think it'd be a crappy fight too

    Joe Joyce, David Adeleye, and Dave Allen. Are these opponents getting worse instead of better?

    Those British promoters really make you run the guantlet of all their crap fighters, don't they?

    Who's next, Johnny Fischer? Solomon Dacres?

    Hrgovic is ranked #2 by the WBO, #4 by the WBA, and #5 by the WBC.

    Get him a big fight.

    The British promoters are too selfish and greedy to let Hrgović fight a meaningful opponent.
