Filip Hrgović will be back!

I hope so. One lose don't have to retire good boxers.

He can still fight someone like Ajagba, Whyte, Hunter, Miller

 

He doesn’t look too bad now in comparison to Joshua, but he better wins his next fight.

 

I can see him beating Dubois in a rematch, as others said he looked quite good compared with AJ.

 

His new strategy is to distract his opponents with his strange new haircut. It might just work.

 

I feel let down by him because he said he would be the next champion and so I thought he'd beat Dubious and then AJ and end them both.

It's wrong for us to put the weight of the world on a simple guy from a small place like Croatia which doesn't have the British or American privileges. But there were days of anger.

Then I realised deep down I never really gave up on him because at HW you're only one good win away from a big fight, that's what Hearn said, and so there's still a chance for redemption.

We have to remember that Povetkin let us down against AJ but then KO'd Whyte in hilarious fashion.

Imagine if Dubious gets KO'd by AJ in the rematch then the Croatian has another bad performance and so earns himself a title shot against AJ? He might KO AJ and all will be forgiven.

 

Usually when a boxer makes changes to their hairstyle it means bad luck:

Sugar Robert Helenius sported a weird looking mohawk hair prior to getting badly knocked out against Duhaupas.

Kudryashov went completely bald against Dorticos and was badly knocked out in the second round.

Whyte was bald against Wach and grew a very thick hair against Povetkin. I don't have to remind what happened there.

Frank Sanchez had hair against Fa and then went against Kabayel bald. What an idiot.

 

Out of curiosity, did David Price ever do anything weird with this hair??

 

Hrgovic's got the same kind of hairstyle as kids who loiter outside McDonalds

 

Even looks lethargic in training

 

Hrgovic has ok boxing ability and a better than average chin. He doesn't have much power and he gives up mentally in fights where he has resistance. I dont see him doing much at this point.

 

I don't see this. I can't see him getting over the mental hump(s) in the road of being beaten by a kid he seemingly dominated in sparring, and being beaten in the manner he was. I don't think we have seen Dubois peak, he is improving exponentially and unless Hrgovic can show a similar turnaround, I think Dubois bullies him out of the fight. He was beaten up when he, in his head, had the mental edge.

 

Nail on head, here.

 

It was a similar fight to Vitali V Lennox in a way. I am not saying Hrgovic will beat Dubois, but I defo wouldn't write him out.
