    Wardley comes from great win over Clarke.

    After Hrgovic dissapointing match with Dubois, he may be a easy target for Wardley who has once puch KO power, someting Hrgovic wont shake off easily after damage Dubois had done to him. Great match in my opinion, and Hearn needs a good fighter after his golden goose was exposed.

    Then again, I see this Bakole, cowardly slime, acting like he is the most avoided fighter in history after ducking Hrgovic for 3 times, bro fight him now what is stopping you?

    Also, Hrgovic is a bit odd, he should be calling for Dubois rematch or something, getting himself out there - it is like he is sabotaging his image by playing mysterious card, bro you aint WIlder or Fury, get out there and call someone out

    Wardley murders him. Unless Hrgovic has found his love for the sport again and is taking it seriously that is. He just goes through the motions and coasts to victory through his talent and experience. And he clearly has regressed instead of improved.

    It could be a heck of a fight but I doubt it based on Hrgovic´s recent record.

    Wardley is good, but we must not forget that Clarke is not a particularly good fighter, he has more heart than Hrgovic, but he is not a better fighter than him, this fight would be high risk, but Hrgovic has nothing more to lose, so he can engage in something like this. Wardley defends the belts, the pressure would be on him.

    From what point Hrgovic has fallen from, to where Fabio has jumped to, and Turki's match making, this fight makes total sense

    Turki is making fights, two ahead of where an up and coming fighter should be atm. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. We'll see with Fabio

    Hrgovic would probably lose by stoppage in the later rounds due to his mental crisis and his absence and lack of interest in the ring.

    If Hrgovic wants it enough he wins. He is a lot better technically than Wardley.

    True. Huni almost sank when fighting Lerena.

    Turki did promise Hrgovic another fight

    Fabio spent a month over in Miami sparring Hrgovic. He said he ''knows how hard Hrgovic hits'' as in very hard

    Yes, Fabio packs a lot of power but Hrgovic has fought murderous punchers in Big Bang, Dubois, and in addition to sparring Fabio he's also shared a ring with Wlad, The Dosser, Haye among many others. The only time he was put down was a flash KD against Big Bang after getting cuffed/pulled over with a shot round the back of the mind

    He has one loss, to the current HW champ Dubois, in a fight he was winning until he gassed and one which he was stopped because of cuts which were clearly caused by the 20 + headbutts Dubois cracked him with and the fight should've gone to the cards had the ref done his job properly. In fact, had he done his job properly he would've DQ'd Dubois for it. And Hrgovic clearly underestimated Dubois and was overconfident after bashing him up in the gym

    I'm a fan of Fabio too but theres a huge gap between anyone he's fought and Hrgovic, Big Bang and Dubois. Frazer was a very good amateur but he's nowhere near top 10 and Fabio needs to mix it up with some fringe world level tests before he dives in the deep end.

    Hrgovic has been mismanaged and stagnated badly, regressed even, but there are things he can easily fix and improve upon with the right training team and mindset

    If Hrgovic is to be fighting Wardley he best get out of his habit of switching off during fights,otherwise Wardley switches his lights out early ! Hrgovic has the pedigree behind him but so did Clarke and we seen Wardley power’s erase that real quick .

    People do realise that Frazer has been put over numerous times before in the amateurs and in the gym, including by Dubois who didn't come close to dropping Hrgovic with little gloves on and 20 + billy goat butts, right?

    Hrgovic arguably has the best chin in the division and Wlad, The Dosser, Haye, Dubois and Fabio couldn't put him over in the gym and neither could Dubois in their fight. Big Bang did but that shouldn't have been counted as a KD IMO
