    10 rounds, 12 rounds, even 15... **** it, probably even 20.

    It goes the distance - and Usyk wins every single round.

    Hrgovic has a great chin, but little else - he'd be bamboozled early rounds and gassed soon after, with no chance of adapting and clawing anything back.

    It wouldn't be remotely competitive, but that doesn't mean it doesn't go the distance - I'd be very surprised if it didn't.

    Best chin in the sport imo. I like Filip and have always been a fan of his, as absolutely infuriating as it is watching him sometimes :rolleyes: Obviously I’m a fan of Usyk’s too! But if Hrgovic knows what’s good for his career at this point… he better stay away from Usyk. Lol I think it’s a no chance fight for him. Usyk’s chin imo is elite level and Filip hits hard but he’s far from Wlad in that category. I think one would need Wlad type power to shock Usyk and stop him. And Filip’s not outboxing Usyk. Probably not even in his dreams.

    Usyk will probably retire in a couple of years. Filip can find interesting fights that boost his resume until then. When Usyk calls it a day… Hrgovic can make sure he’s in the position to fight for the title then! :thumbsup::lol:

    You think Hrgovic hits hard? of course he does as a professional boxer who is a huge man.... but @Badbot argued last week until he was blue in the face that Hrgovic is a soft puncher and Dubois, despite taking lots of clean punches from Hrgovic and didn't go down, has a glass jaw.

    It goes the distance if Hrgovic is prepared and wants it to ... But if he is out of shape he could get stopped more by exhaustion than anything else.

    What if Usyk targets the body? Like Zhang , his body was the weakness and not chin. Both had solid chin but flab physic. Why both gass after 5 rnds.

    I reckon he would last the distance and lose a UD he has a good chin he proved that in the Zhang fight. I think Hrgovic is underrated because he pretty much had no game plan against Dubios and fought like an idiot thinking because he is easy to hit that he would get him out of there early.

    He's got a good chin, at least, so if he doesn't summon Dark Usyk from the nether realm, like those fools, Huck, Bellew, and Dubois, he would last the distance, losing every round.

    Usyk only stops folks who trigger him. Hrgovich will be nice and courteous and see the final bell

    Usyk would beat Hrgovic like an unwanted stepchild. Fights ends after 8 th with Hrgo "retiring" on his stool.

    Usyk ain't no Mark De Mori.

    Hrgovic is an arm puncher. No, I don´t think he has pillows for hands, but he doesn't have 1 punch KO power either. Hes the same as Usyk, actually.
    Look at him! Even when he does turn his hips into the punch, usually his right hand, he pulls the punch back upon impact.

    Does Dubois have a glass jaw in my opinion? Yes. But more like the bottom of a beer bottle type of glass. He is though to an extent.

    There was a beautiful headbutt + left hook combo at 0:57. Also a kidney shot at 0:44 and what looks like a thumb in the eye at 1:03, didn't know he also had those in his toolbox.

    Hrgovic is all wrong for Usyk
