    CTE.

    Hrgovic probably wins this unless he gets cut and stopped.

    Hrgovic has an unusually good chin. I think he takes big shots, then hurts Shavers and stops him. Earnie's stamina and lack of durability hurts him.

    Hrgovic tko 8. However, he takes a lot of damage here.

    Hrgovic has a better chin than Shavers. This was seen in the fight with Zhang.
    Hrgovic wins, but Shavers has a puncher chance.

    I’m a big Earnie fan, but I think he’s too small to handle Hrgovic.
