    Absolutely certain that Yoka would beat Bakole, he is far too easy to hit and doesn’t have the stamina to keep up the pace to wear Yoka down.

    Yoka gets an easy decision.

    Dangerous fight, Yoka is a top boxer and when it's his day he can beat anyone, the same goes for Hrgovic who is still waiting for the right opportunity for a real fight, this fight would definitely be 50-50...

    Hrgy Bear by KO, whatever reason whenever I watch Yoka he looks a little too fragile. I would love for Yoka to prove me wrong and take this fight as well.

    He's fragile alright - packing some pure china in that mandible, ready to be shattered into a million pieces.

    Hrgovic would shatter that fragile glass jaw of Yoka's, lay him out COLD.

    Hrgovic needs to fight more often. He has the talent but we hardly ever see him fighting serious opposition. He will never be a Vitali Klitschko in my opinion.

    Good interesting match up, I wont entertain any notions that Hrgovic (the supposed HW slayer) would destroy yoka because he didnt do any of that the last time he fought Yoka where he lost.

    let them fight and we’ll get a better idea because so far Hrgovic has looked vulnerable against Molina and not fought anyone serious in a while.

    I hope this one comes off. Frankly, they both need it. Neither of them is relevant at the moment. Hrgovic is slow but powerful. Yoka has the tools but less than committed performances plus getting busted for juicing ask big questions about his character.
    The winner should fight Michael Hunter before he gets a sniff at a Title fight.

    Hunter already ducked Hrgovic. That isn't happening. Yoka isn't winning.

    This reminds me a bit of what Vitali vs Wlad might have been like back in the early days, strong, sturdy relentless guy vs quicker and more explosive but fragile guy, both relatively evenly physically matched. Gut feeling is Hrgovic walks Yoka down and TKOs him late after maybe being down on the cards. Yoka's got some power though, and if he gets through Hrgovic's guard enough times he might be able to do some damage.

    'Golden boy'' Yoka has been handled and promoted better in the pro ranks, a big part of which, ala AJ, is due to that Olympic gold medal he 'won' after losing 50% of his bouts in those games, and his development hasn't been stunted like Hrgovic's has. However, despite his stunted development, Hrgovic, who clearly beat him in the Olympic semi-final and if not for corruuption rearing its ugly head again, should and would've, at the very least, come away with a silver medal as opposed to a bronze, will find that shaky mandible of his and crumple him in a heap as would the other guy Yoka lost to in those Olympics Juggernaut Joe Joyce.

    That would be a good match up

    It's one that I would struggle to call
    Neither look particularly fast but I wouldn't be shocked if Yoka won on points as Hrgovic seems to punch alot wider with his chin up and looks open and slower
    Wouldn't bet on it but could envisage Yoka throwing straight punches down the middle (with Hrgovic having his chin up) and building up points looking the sharper and more composed

    Joyce, Yoka and Hrgovic all put me in mind of each other. Big powerful fighters, all promising, who are all likely alot faster than they look and all make the HW division interesting
