    So just not fight until he has a title shot? Insanity.

    Just read on Polish site that Hrgovic will fight with Mark de Mori...
    Little worse option than Martin Bakole :eusa_doh:

    'Zhang is a potential banana skin. He is obviously a very experienced southpaw, and by far one of the biggest punchers in the division. I was actually surprise at the match making as Joyce isn't exactly adverse to taking a lot of punches on his way to victory.'
    - me, after the Joyce v Zhang fight was announced
    :deal:

    Sorry, couldn't resist:cunaooooo:
    With this, I completely agree.


    I got to say, this is shaping up to be an incredible card. It's almost like we are getting the first round of an unofficial heavyweight tournament if all of the proposed fights get made.

    How Mark de Mori got in this tournament needs some questioning ...

    Bakole was a was better option than glass jaw De Mori! It's a safer fight and he gets a little work in while not risking his future shot at the HW title in the future.

    We all get them right sometimes! :lol::lol::lol:

    Seriously though... In hindsight, its spot on - and Joyce was definitely getting massively overhyped.

    For how many fights he'd had, he'd gone up the division pretty quickly, but he hadn't done anywhere near enough to be rated at the very top of the division as some were doing...

    Then again, he's got a better win (Parker) than Wilder's managed in nearly 3x as many fights :lol: and just look how many people treat that guy as if he could be expected to beat much more proven guys :lol::lol:

    Hrgovic beats him up. Plain and simple.

    That means one thing only, Bakole ducked him - no way Hrgovic would do in his reputation fighting 300th ranked 41 yo journeyman, if so he better be getting big money. Because this will do him in. Imo better not to fight at all then fight Mark de Mori.

    Mark De Mori is bad for Hrgovic's reputation, it's better if he doesn't fight at all than with that bum, but he should stay active, but I don't believe that Hrgovic will get a chance...

    Mark de Mori is undefeated in almost 8 years

    And that loss was to one of the most fearsome KO artists of all time David ''Haymaker'' Haye

    His only other loss in 45 fights was almost 20 years ago

    He sports a mightily impressive 41-2-2 (36 KOs) record

    That's right up there with The Dosser's record

    They should make this fight the co-main event
