    Good jab mate thinking of this one .. At this point id slightly favor hrgovic. Better boxer overall more skilled and bigger puncher in my opinon. Being 6'6 over the smaller rivas who was Getting outboxed by whyte and getting outboxed by Jennings before stopping him . so id favor the younger bigger more talented 6'6 hrgovic with the good jab and good developing power over the smaller more limited ,yet powerful rivas

    Hrgovic. I'd expect the fight to go something like AJ v Ruiz 2.

    Hrgovic should win! This is actually a pretty good choice! I would be interested in it and think Hrgovic would be better served by this type of fight next in his progression.

    Good potential fight, Hrgovic the more well rounded technical boxer but there are questions over his chin against a come forward, hard hitting, tough but technically limited and predictable fighter in Rivas.

    Could go either way, I want to see this.

    I's love to see this.
    Hrgovic might be the future of the division, but has only faces stiff competition. Against Molina he didn't look all that good.
    Rivas has a good record, but was unlucky against Whyte.
    I favor Hrgovic, but Rivas is high above the level he faced so far, so it could be a close fight.

    Rivas wins this by KO. Rivas had a decent performance against Whyte. The only thing I remember he failed was landing the right hand, he missed on many attempts. But for stepping up the first time against an elite fighter, he did very good.

    Rivas has no workrate. Hrgovic would measure and stop him inside 7 rounds.
