Not overly impressed with Hrgovic's comeback

Only seen the highlights so far, but wasn't overly impressed with Hrgovic. Lazy, one dimensional and rabbit puncher. I'd back Chisora to beat him at this stage.

Joyce, despite the good weight, has clearly had enough. Probably time to consider hanging them up.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Chisora/Hrgovic. I also think it's a winnable fight for Chisora even at this stage of his career. Hrgovic has never had much of a defence, his one move is just to lean back to his right behind the shoulder, which won't be effective against Chisora's over hand right which will just arc over the shoulder and land.

Both are best coming forward and Hrgovic has no jab, so Chisora won't have to work hard to find him and I just think right now Chisora has the experience and ring IQ to win a close fight on the cards.

Joyce is clearly past his best. He's nearing 40, his weight while lower in this fight has been creeping up since the first Zhang loss and his work rate isn't the same perhaps due to that. He had opportunities to work more against Hrgovic but didn't do so, maybe because he doesn't have the same gas tank as before, which when you consider his age is understandable, or maybe since being stopped he isn't as fearless as before and willing to take as many to land his own as before.

But I don't think he retires, he can still make good money as a gatekeeper. I just hope he's invested his money smartly and when the time comes he retires and doesn't hang around for too long.

 

He just won’t throw enough jabs man. You’re 6’6 HW who grew up watching Wladimir Klitschko, you gotta know jab is by far the most important punch in boxing especially for a big man.

Lack of jabs makes his offence very predictable. A guy like Parker would see the lead right hand coming from a mile away.

 

Great win. People just trying ignore that because they belive hard that Joe is over and old. Not true.
Chisora who "steal" win with Joe previous became threated like some champion. People start talking about him vs name like Joshua, Dubois... And that was close fight.

Filip is ranked 8 in the ring magazine. 5 of them are beatable with good performance. He even beat 1 of them already.
Also Fury still ranked is already retire....

That's not bad.

Fight with Joe will be problem and look hard for almost all of this dudes. Just ask Parker xD
And Filip land almost twice more punches than Joe.
Stupid commentary and Frampton just trying support their dude and trying ignore facts and just talking how this fight was close. It was not.

 

His hand speed looked like it had degraded from even his last fight. All he’s ever really had is a sharp accurate right hand, and if he’s losing that, doesn’t bode well.

 

In the Dubois fight he looked way too relaxed. Like he just got off the beach surfing with that haircut. He actually looked a little bit mean again against Joyce. He also comes off as a bit more likable since his first loss.

 

There you go again lol

 

I had to be realistic xD

 

He reached his ceiling.

 

Have you ever been impressed with Hrgovics anything - why expect to be impressed by his “comeback”….

 

True he's definitely regressed in the pros- looked so promising in the Olympics that time

 

he went a hard 12 with a joyce who everyone who once rated him says is shot...nuff said.

 

I disagree I thought it was Hrgovic's best performance I've seen vs a notable opponent.

He boxed Joyce's head off and never looked in trouble I scored the fight a shut out the fight was not close or remotely competitive.

 

There isn't any really good Heavyweights though apart from Usyk.

Hrgovic has a solid chin a good right hand that will be enough vs most Heavyweights. He was unlucky vs Dubois he got headbutted consistently and without that it could've been a different fight.
