I think you have to give it to Hrgovic that he is a very good attrition puncher.

    A lot of fans cite that Hrgovic is a guy that really does not punch his weight. I have always said that he would get more knockouts it he just did more with his left hand to set up the right--as he himself said last night, the punch you don't expect is the one that gets you, and developing a credible left would help compensate for how slow he is. Regardless, it is absolutely true that he has never stopped a world class opponent...

    ...until last night! And on top of that, he is sitting on a good 76% KO percentage. Yes, Itauma gassed, but is it also possible that the lower weight and the good work with Abel Sanchez is helping?

    Very similar to Vitali Klitschko. I think we have to give it to him that he is a good attrition puncher. He doesn't do it with one punch, but he gets it done.
