    What clear mental problems? Outside of a few awkward interviews I don't really know anything about the guy

    No evidence of these mental problems and why would they be an issue with someone like Hrgovic?

    Yes, I agree, but the only person not to be blamed here is Allen. His choice was not stupid either, he's trying to make a living out of boxing. He saw a good opportunity to make a good purse in exchange of a beating and he took it. We all have to eat.

    We should blame the matchmaker, but never Allen. Those guys who receive beatings for money deserve all our respect.

    Hrgovic must have thought that's the best paying punchbag in the world.

    Moses Itauma is much quicker and more explosive.
    Filip must show more in that fight. But Moses also eat shots. And with this agresive style of Filip he can eat some heavy shots.
    And Filip got great Chin.
    I dont put my money on Filip here but for sure he is dangerous guy who can test Moses if he comes in great shape.

    You can see how uncomfortable he gets when he's under pressure, even the few times someone has brought it. Then add in all of the ducking of live bodies by his crew. Clearly something is up with him. Also mentally he just comes across as off and no, it's not just a Gen Z stare thing. I've always been pretty good at reading people and I'm rarely off. He's a mental midget.

    I'm glad I didn't wake up early for this. Sounds like the whole fight will fit into the highlights...

    Hrgovic? They were talking about making the Moses fight next and Allen was talking about having a couple more fights and maybe trying to see if he can win the British title

    Peter Milas vs. Joel Djeko fight is about to start - good timing, German cards go on very late.

    There's plenty of evidence, for those willing to open their eyes and see it.

    Lol, no. Fix not needed. That was going to get as bad as what happened to Fabio. My point was Dave's corner knew what a mismatch it was, knew the real point behind the fight (help set up the Ituama fight for Hrgoic), so pulled their man out once it was clear their man wasn't going to be able to get it done.

    Honestly, they did Dave a favor there. He could have taken a lot of damage. They saved him from it.

    I'm not respecting Allen for coming in and taking punches for a few rounds. He barely even threw back.

    If that's true -- fighting Hrgovic will expose all that. Because Hrgovic is going to show up to win. He beats Ituama, his career is resurrected.

    Hrgovic also has a tendency to switch off when not up against an opponent he can bowl over. It'll be an interesting scrap, but if Itauma blasts him out I can already see the excuses that'll pop up...
