    Rabbit Punchovic with an accumulation of rabbit punches by the 6th round.

    Big Frank telling porky pies today about Dubois only being ''17'' when he sparred Hrgovic. They sparred in early 2018 and Dubois who is 26 y/o now was born in September 1997. That was naughty of Big Frank and he ain't getting away with it on my watch.

    Let us not forget, Dubois was well on his way to getting KTFO again. Lucky for him Big Baby's fat ass tired himself out bashing Daniel's skull in after about three rounds and was completely out of gas by the 6th or 7th. Hrgovic won't run out of steam.

    This.

    Hrgovic has achieved very little for how hyped he is... It's time to start taking fights that begin to prove himself, and this is a good start.

    Dubois has his limitations, but he's decent.

    But let's also not forget that Hrgovic's ONLY noteworthy win came against the one of very few guys with a gas tank worse than Millers.

    It could be interesting.

    I'm far from sold on Hrgovic, and have been critical of him for years, but the same applies to Daniel with me. So by no means do I think it's out of the realm of possibility that either man can win. But I do think Filip is the more durable of the two, he took discombobulating shots, that had him out on his feet on multiple occasions, without going down, that neither Joyce or Parker could take. So in all likelihood his chin is just as good as Jarrell Miller's, if not better. Which is bad news for Daniel, because there's no way in hell he could have taken those kind of shots from Big Bang Zhang, and Filip will be even less dissuaded marching forward against him.

    Whilst Hrgovic's style is robotic, he is quite adept at it. I just don't think Dubois has the punch variation and intelligence to consistently get into range and work Hrgovic over. I'm also convinced Hrgovic has better punch resistance and stamina; all things considered I think Hrgovic will stop Dubois late into the fight.

    So Dubious gets KO'd by Joyce, KO'd by Usyk, he wins in a gimme fight against the obese abomination and now he's fighting eliminators again.
    Just in case people were wondering whether UK boxing was corrupt.

    Hrgovic should drop him in the first 3 rounds and finish him around 6-7 rounds.

    So Hrgovic beats one half decent fighter, who'd done nothing as a pro and shouldn't have done much for his ranking, then hides for two years fighting the kind of bums even Wilder wouldn't bother with... And still gets to keep his inflated position in the rankings?

    Croation boxing corruptionz!?


    Or maybe, just maybe, the orgs are ****ing useless.

    People are fawning over Parker for barely beating Zhang but why not Hrgovic who doesn't have any losses? The thing with Hrgovic's competition is this a Hrgovic problem or just a systemic issue in the sport? Hrgovic and co claim no one wants to fight him. And now hes fighting Dubois which is probably the toughest fight he could take at this time. I'm inclined to blame the sport instead of him. His position in the rankings(generally 5th) might be inflated but who would you rank ahead of him whose record is not?

    Hrgovic grinds him into submission but I'll give Dubois credit, his resume win or lose is really not that bad. Seems to have no fear of getting in there with anyone...............not a fan of him but respect.

    Ultimately you can beat Dubois up, and I believe Hrgovic has that ability to do so.

    Who’s the more marketable fighter?

    I think it’s the young black gun. He’s got all the talent. He’s tasted the gold and he’s starting to understand his worth.
