    Round 1 Hrgovic 10-9
    Round 2 Hrgovic 10-9
    Round 3 Hrgovic 10-9
    Round 4 Hrgovic 10-9
    Round 5 Hrgovic 10-9, close
    Round 6 McKean 10-9, very close

    Demsey shaded that with the cleaner work, most of Filip's shots were rabbit punches in hold.

    Round 1: Hrgovic 10-9
    Round 2: Hrgovic 10-9
    Round 3: Hrgovic 10-9
    Round 4: Hrgovic 10-9
    Round 5: Hrgovic 10-9
    Round 6: McKean 10-9

    59-55 Hrgovic

    McKean is boxing well. It is pretty boring action. Hrgovic is good but Joshua definitely beats him. His hand speed would cause Hrgovic problems.

    Levels. And body type. These lanky fellows aren't typically the most durable

    Another better round from McKean, though Hrgovic still won it. McKean needs to sweep the back half of the fight and get a knockdown to win on my card.

    Hrgovic has been too inactive the past few years, that's why he seems less sharp.

    Hrgovic looks rusty. He needs to be more active

    Hrgovic always looks like he doesn't want to be there.

    I dont know if he's just super calm and composed or there's a deeper psychological issue.

    Round 6

    Hrgović is casually drfiting around McKean, throwing pot shot 1-2s into the air and the odd grazing body shot from outside, and then flailing down with both hands when McKean moves in to hold, hitting the sides of his neck if anything. Hrgović hit with some right jabs up top and lefts on the body.

    10-9 McKean, close

    59-55 Hrgović
