Croats can't stand Hrgovic and want him to lose with all their hearts, and I admit I was critical of Hrgovic, but I don't want him to lose to anyone, there are just over three million Croats and this is happening...
Who cares. Hrgovic is his own man.It s not like Croatia has a lot of heavyweigth history and I;m pretty sure everybody is ignorant up to the sports writers. Btw since you might be in the know how is Zelijko mavrovic these days? I read that due to the illness he retired. Had some sort of bio farm. Tried acomeback but never got past sparring. That was like 10 years ago,how is he?
It happens, same situtation with Yoka in France, nobody could really stand him and a lot of people wished he'd lose which he did very well!
I hope Croatians don't really want Joyce to beat up their own fighter, that's very concerning. It's possible it's just a small group of exchange students or refugees from the Yugo war who were educated in Northern Europe and brought back some progressive ideas.
He is arrogant. Not a very likeable kind of personality. Also he has done nothing in the ring as a pro. However, Joyce is beyond shot.
Hrgovic fought Zhang with a good gameplan and won, fought Dubois with a terrible gameplan and lost. If he beats Joyce, he could gain momentum pretty quickly to be back in the picture. If he loses, he might want to conserve his purse.
This isn't a winnable fight for Joyce. Pity Whyte pulled out. Joe would've beat him and moved up the ranks.
