Hrgovic is very underrated. He has an iron chin and nullified Zhang’s straight left hand. I think I scored the first 114-113 Zhang but could have it the other way. Hrgovic is younger and he would have learnt from the mistakes he made in the first fight. I’d rather see Joshua against Hrgovic or Zhang than those two rematching.
I thought Hrgovic would definitely KO/TKO Zhang in the later rounds on the first fight. Also Hrgovic is younger, he could learn from the mistakes he made in the first fight, on the other hand I think Zhang really got a confidence boost after two KO/TKO victory over Joyce. Went for the Draw.
Hrgovic is rounded fighter, Zhang is a Canon. It is 50/50 now. If Hrgovic manages to survive 6 rounds, he wins, if Zhangs lands to many lefts like in the first fight, Hrgovic might go down. Both have experience against each other, Hrgovic is used to southpaws by now. I wouldnt like that rematch, one of them would get k.o. end his career would be dead, it is better if they both fought their desired opponents Hrgovic Usyk and Zhang Fury. If Hrgovic and Zhang fight, then the fighter that is defeated wont ever fight likes of WIlder, Joshua, Usyk and Fury to expose them for what they are (except Usyk) and that is Frauds.
Hrgovic looked terrible in the fight, still not sure whether that was a bad performance from him or because Zhang was that good/awkward. Reality is Hrgovic's stock keeps plummeting with a string of dull or poor showings. Maybe he isn't as good as I'd hoped. I'd probably back Zhang at this point in time based on momentum.
I thought he won the first fight and think he wins the rematch. He's quite different to Joyce and was able to have success on the outside by landing his right hand vs the southpaw stance of Zhang. Unlike Joyce he has the ability to box on the outside with some success, where Joyce without his usual jab wasn't able to mount much offence and so reached in and got countered.
The difference is Hrgovic has that eastern european chin unlike slow , soft ,glass jawed punishment taker like joyce. Hrgovic took zhang’s shots the first time and he would take it again. Zhang tires and Hrgovic wins UD
