    Well, Little was at his best, gave 100%, and had counter skills ( most heavyweights don't ), with solid body punching taking advantage of an over-aggressive Hrgovic at times.

    A learning type of thing, but a solid performance I thought.

    I never saw Turner. Looking at his record, I think he's a solid puncher ( many early stoppages ), but stamina, height, reach, and speed aren't his thing. He will be lucky to win a round. I think Hrgovic takes him out, but how soon depends on how tough Turner is.

    A guess, TKO in 4 as Turner won't have the defense or countering like little did, and will have a mountain to climb to get past Hrgovic's jab and right hand.

    When you a top prospect on the way up, you're better off going 3-4 rounds than scoring a KO 1, as it allows you to work on things. So in a way Turner is a good opponent.

    Turner definitely has a chance. I wouldn't be surprised of an upset. This could be a fight where Hrgovic struggles badly. But it will come down to who have the better work rate. I expect a very close fight, a fight where Hrgovic looks sub par.

    I agree for the most part but Turner does indeed have some skills. Fast hands for a fatty(like Ruiz) Hrgovic will very likely win but he shouldn't underestimate the tubby Irishman's skill.
