Filip Hrgovic vs. Tony Yoka

Don’t see Yoka taking it. It’s gonna be someone with low profile who’ll accept the lower split against Hrgovic, someone like Kabayel or Zhilei.

 

Good fight. I edge towards Hrgovic but a close one. I think Yoka is a bit underrated here.

Good fight so won't happen.

 

Yoka needs this fight. If he doesn't take it, he deserves to be dropped from rankings.

 

IBF have invited Yoka to enter talks for an eliminator with Hrgovic, so we'll see if Yoka wants it or if he will join the growing list of fighters to duck Hrgovic. He has 3 days to respond.

 

I doubt Yoka will take this, but I'd be happy to be wrong as I think this would be an entertaining fight.

Still think its going to be Kabayel. Though Joyve is next in line if Joyce is able to he should take it as well.

 

yoka by wide decision hrgovic has stalled and not looked great

 

There is no real reason why Yoka should take this fight. He still has his fight with Bakole still on and he has plenty other options due to his big Canal+ deal.

 

it would be an instant title shot if he won

 

This, facing Bakole is more of a high risk, low reward fight.

 

Hrgovic knocks him out

 

Yoka looks like a good runner hard to hit clean. Ability a bit like Hughie Fury. He also have some pop to his shots but I dont think it would effect Hrgovic enough to slow down the pace of the fight. I see him winning some rounds in The beginning but losing the later rounds due to fatigue. Hrgovic by decision. 7-3 or 6-4.

 

This fight would be a bit like Joshua-Whyte in terms of quality contra career stages.

 

Yoka is a skilled boxer but he doesn’t have the power or raw aggression to see off Hrgovic.

Hrgovic mows him down and stops him at some point, depending on how careful Yoka is.
