    Hrgovic has the gas tank of a 1978 Yugo.

    McKean wants this fight more. He's effective with the left to the body.

    Demsey consistently on the front foot pushing him back. Not much but rabbit punches in hold, that is coming back at him.

    Round 8

    Hrgović is looking tired, as the commentators point out, further elaborating that McKean is seeing this and drawing self-belief from it. Strewth. McKean sallying in behind a right jab, body turned side-on, and then plugging the left downstairs and/or tying up. Hrgović doing practically nothing except windmill his arms in the pocket and slap at the back of McKean's head. McKean peppering Hrgović's guard with the southpaw jab. McKean backs Hrgović onto the ropes with a 1-2, scoring the jab and just missing the left cross as Hrgović ducks and sags the top rope to meet the middle. Big combo by McKean just before the bell.

    10-9 McKean

    77-75 Hrgović

    Regardless of the result, I can say with absolute certainty Usyk dominate both these dudes.

    McKean has won the last 3 rounds IMO and coming back into this fight. Hrgovic looks knackered.
