    That fight smells like an upset to me, Hrgovic may never be mentally ready again, especially in such an important fight, McKean is fearless and determined to beat him, he sparred with top fighters and probably worked on his strength...

    McKean moves well with a good speed and has good technique. Not the strongest man out there, can improve overall, but looks like a talented guy and hopefully will find a good trainer and promoter. I am not saying he will beat Hrgovic (who knows), but if it turns out to be a hard opponent it won't be that surprising to me.

    I expect Hrgovic to stop him later rounds. McKean to put up a better fight than expected.

    I doubt it

    Even if McKean has improved and Hrgovic fights him like he fought against Zhang, he's still gonna win

    Not really expecting a win, I'd be surprised.

    But I honestly don't know where McKeans progress is at. I know he's been training putting in the hard yards and believe hes hungry and wants a good crack. So anything can happen.

    All due respect to Demsey but if Hrgovic can't get him outt of there he should look to open a delikatesa and forget about this boxing caper.

    Hrgovic stops him.

    But still think there's alarm bells with him given his body language at times in the Zhang fight.
