    I've heard a lot of people talking about this prospect, but he looks very average to me. I don't really see anything that stands out.

    Matchroom are trying to market him as the second coming of Vitali because they look a bit similar. I’m not convinced either, but lots of people within boxing really rate him so could be totally wrong.

    Yeah. I've also noticed a lot of Vitali comparisons on the comment sections on YouTube. I just don't see it, man.

    He is technically very good. Very close bout against Yoka at the Olympics. Has the pedigree

    didnt look good on saturday, but his distancing is usually perfect, solid defence, big right hand, needs to jab more.

    I don't think he is as good as younger Vitali just yet but I think he will get there. He does throw a lot of shots, leans back nicely and has good feet and likely an iron chin. All Vitali like. Not sure he's quite as quick but he is developing as said. Is going to be a serious threat soon.

    Well considering some people on here don't really rate Usyk's abilities then it comes as no surprise to me that the far less impressive Hrgovic hasn't won over anyone and everyone.

    Ive been saying for a while, in the next 18 months- 2 years, HW is going to get really exciting.

    Theres a large group of young talented guys coming through right now

    Hrgovic is a good fighter. He can definitely be in the world title mix over the next year and a half to two years.
