A question that will lock many posters brains into a feedback loop and hopefully result in self destruction, but let's have it who wins this one and how.
Usyk has beaten loads of tall HWs that are better than Hrgovic. Joe Joyce is one of them that comes to mind. Don't see what Hrgovic brings to the table really.
Hrgovic could be a problem style wise for the Usyk style , those in and out movements Usyk does may not work so good here bc Hrgovic likes to throwing arm punches with opponents coming in at him.and that's a long way for a 6'3 guy trying to hit a leaning away fighter jumping back with great timing. Hrgovic likes lining guys up for right hands controlling them.with his lead left , hooking off jabs or hitting their lead hand and controls southpaw easier with that long reach bc he controls the lead hand . Usyk does the same thing from southpaw stance with quicker movements and less measuring so you have two fighters who like to tag the opponents lead hand to disarm them from working off any mounting danger . Usyk the quicker hand and foot , Hrgovic the longer stronger guy. Usyk goes to body to head much better , Hrgovic is more head Hunter and less combos he's slow methodical and Usyk is fast and doesn't give guys chances to react much in a fast pace ,both styles cause problems for each other and Hrgovic isn't an active straight jabber he likes to loop around opponents guards more which is less effective against Usyk and will keep him a pest and around in the entire fight without a stiff power jab. The way to get Usyk out of there is working off a power jab and freezing Usyk with it.Hrgovic does the complete opposite he works around a measured right hand and sometimes lead rights set up by tapping weak jabs. If I had to take a pick here right now I'd go with Hrgovic he has enough length to really frustrate the guy usually frustrating others .I don't see this not going 12 , it has 12 rounds written all over it with long pauses in between punches bc it's going to be a fight gauging distance , Usyk will have his spurts and Hrgovic will avoid most shots and probe the reach catching Usyk just enough with counters to get a close UD win.
