    Man that guy broke his fall with his arm and fell in slow motion. Showed up at his career heaviest and has 2 wins over guys with a winning record. I’m not sure how much to make of this win

    Not putting down Hrgovic but this guy didn’t come to fight

    Nah he's weighed more than that for most of his fights, like 10 of 15 of them. Granted it's only by a few pounds for some of them but his career highest weight is actually 16lbs more than that.

    I think very highly of Hrgovic, but this wasn't a great win by any means. Even as a KO1 honestly.

    His KO3 of Mansour was more impressive. Even if Mansour was an old man.

    This? I wouldn't really rate it above his debut performance: KO1 of Raphael Zumbano.

    My guess would be that he just wanted an easy fight for his US debut. Hopefully he'll raise the stakes now.

    One more in a weekend of boxing mismatches.

    I get the rationale behind each one, 'he's making a return after a bad defeat', 'it's his introduction to the US audience' etc etc.

    Even still, it would be nice once in a while to watch a fightt where both men stand a reasonable chance of victory...

    Thank you I must have misread something for a guy with so few fights he has faced some pretty good opposition

    Hopefully some new blood starts to make s splash and spice this division up a little with the main 3 stalling on big fights
