    Would Hrgovic withstand Bakole's aggressive onslaught?

    Still think Hrgovic beats him, Hrgovic is a totally different beast to Yoka.

    People are high on Bakole right now and I do think he's improved a little since his loss to Hunter but he's still far from top level in my opinion. Hit footwork still sucks, when Yoka was moving a lot he really couldn't do much and at times was almost tripping over his own feet to try and get to Yoka.

    I think it would be a fun fight though. Bakole will bring it and have success with his jab as Hrgovic doesn't move his head much but Hrgovic will be too powerful and will break him down and stop him late.

    Hrgovic is terrible. Overweight, out of shape and sluggish. Bakole edges him.

    An in shape, sharp Hgrovic counters him all night long, he eats swarmers for life.
    That said, he has gotten more sloppy over the last 2-3 years and just going in to brawl with Bakole might not be the best idea.

    Hard to know with Hrgovic. His career has stalled so badly Bakole would would be a big step up in term of recent opposition. I'd make Hrgovic only a very slight favourite.

    I want someone like Bakole to beat Hrgovic so we can dispell this myth of Hrgovic being ducked by everyone because he's a good fighter.

    Well Bakole should now be ranked in the top 10 of the IBF after beating Yoka who was previously ranked 5th. So hopefully the IBF now orders Hrgovic/Bakole for a final eliminator.

    Nah I don't see how Hrgovic deserves an a shot, his best win was Molina and Rydell booker ffs.

    However, unfortunately I recognise how everyone around the rankings is busy, so Hrgovic is the only option, but I have no idea how he got to 3rd place in the ranks lol.

    Molina was beaten by Babic.

    Bakole hunts him down, beats him up and then takes his wife out for a nice steak dinner and never calls her back.
