Did... did you not see Izu's last fight? Hrgovic would massacre him. It wouldn't be a fight at all. Filip should fight someone like Andrey Fedosov.
Based on his level of competition so far I have no reason to belive Felipe is better than Izu. This would be a big step up in levels for him.
Two losses is about when a prospect at heavyweight gets thrown on the burn pile. While Izu has somewhat of a name I think Hrgovic could find better opponents both to move up the ranks and develop as a fighter.
You probably missed the last fight of Ugonoh, like the OP. The level of competition isn't really relevant for the level of quality a fighter brings to the table. If you're a bum and fighting decent prospects, losing all those fights by KO1 you have great resume but you still a bum. Ugonoh was a decent prospect 3-4 years ago, he had a good brawl with Breazeale and was close to stop him there, but he lost the plot, gassed and was caught. I thought he might come back stronger and more focused with better gas tank as he's still young but the last fight vs. Rozanski showed that Ugonoh has NO heart left for boxing. Hrgovic KO within 3 is the result here, Ugonoh has absolutely ZERO chance to win. Stupid matchup anyway as Ugonoh retired from boxing after the Rozanski fight.
It's no about the losses, it's how he lost both times. The first loss was a learning experience. The second showed that nothing was learned and Izu actually digressed.
The delusion of so many of you people on this forum. This constantly trying to over type any European fighters. Filip Hrgovic beat a washed up Kevin Johnson and a washed up Amir Mansour. What does this mean? That he can beat up washed up old men. Izu isn't anything special either. But to act like Hrgovic is some type of world class fighter is just too much.
