    Sdunek did not help Wlad to get to the next level. He’s good with focus, adding sometimes too much muscle and not using the hook.

    Hrgovic is versatile in attack and can In fight despite his size. With two 1st round KO’s he hasn’t had time to show much.

    I think he’s the next champion. A better prospect than Joshua.

    Hrgovic fights Tom Little on the 27th of January. Little is 10-4 but has not be stopped.

    I say Hrgovic wins inside of 2 rounds.

    You're right. I see Dallas did it in three rounds. Hrgovic's goal will be to in in 3 rounds or less.

    I saw Hrgovic's working out hitting a ball on a string on a beach. For a big guy, he's got very good hand to eye coordination.

    I think he will be moved quickly. Almost as fast as Usyk. Hope he fights 6-7 times this year.

    "I'm looking forward to fighting in Riga again," says Hrgovic. "It's a great city and again a great event. I'm looking forward to boxing here after my successful professional debut in Riga. "

    "I was preparing for this fight as if it were the world championship title. I train very hard and I will be 100% ready for this fight. My opponent Tom Little seems to be very confident and believes he can defeat me. But whatever he will do for a performance, I'm ready for it. "

    "I think it will be another early win in the first round, but I'm also prepared to go the full 8-round distance if I have to. If I put that in the ring and what I can do and how hard I've been training, he will not stand a chance against me, so confident I am. "

    Hatfield, England's Tom Little is confident of defeating Hrgovic after a threefold winning streak in a row.

    "I've been waiting for such a chance for years, and I'm overjoyed to finally be given the opportunity to box in such a big way," said Little. "Filip is a big and certainly a strong boy, but this fight against me comes way too early for him and I watched the videos of his fights and saw a few things that I'm going to take advantage of. The fight will not see the 8th round. I'll beat up this young lad! "

    I am also looking forward to this one. Should give us a good glimpse at how Hrgovic is developing as a pro.

    Hrgovic seems like a very nice guy and he speaks English pretty good as well

    Be interesting to see if he's made any improvements since hooking up with a proper trainer with a proven track record like Pedro Diaz.

    Bit of footage of him and Diaz working together

    I'd still like to see him come in a bit heavier, about 230-ish.

    He has a new trainer that has worked with some successful heavies.

    I want to see how his defense on counters has changed.
