    Round 5

    McKean having a really good first minute here, launching lead left hands down the pipe and scoring from afar. Hrgović hunting for body shots but not in range. Hrgović then relents and starts to time McKean with the orthodox 1-2 and zaps him a few times with it very crisp & clean. Steals the round back in the last minute.

    10-9 Hrgović, close

    50-45 Hrgović

    Agreed, either of these would have been ideal.

    Being robotic and lacking power is a recipe for disaster

    McKean has 0 chance here

    Hrgorvic won't be winning a title anytime soon. There's a reason he's been around for years without even challenging for a belt.

    Hrgovic is a bit overrated imo.

    Awful and lost his last fight for me.

    Wilder would plant him early.

    It's a testament to how bad the current heavyweight lot are if Hrgovic is one of top fighters

    Said it over and over again. I just don't get the hype at all. I think he is slightly a Hipsters choice along with Sanchez

    Dejan Lovren would batter Hrgorvic.

    This fight stinks.

    McKean is rubbish. Hrgovic miles ahead but also not impressing.

    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
