    • *CLAP CLAP - "Final 10 seconds"
    • Hrgovic closes in to Zhang
      • Comentator says: "Back and forth slugfest" - while we see Hrgovic is only one throwing punches
    • *Zhang runs away colapsing on the ropes, while Hrgovic raises his hand and walks to his corner men
      • Comentator says: "Both men will slump to their corner" - pure lying disrespect as shown on their video is not true
    • Comentator then says: "In Hrgovic case, slump into the arms of his corner - he needs his corner men to effecitvly carry him to his corner" - "I think Hrgovic gonna need more than one guy to carry him" while laughing
    • Lets look at Zhang:
      • (11:11) running away - actions of the man "who was robbed"
      • (11:15) colapsing on the ropes, barely breating while Hrgovic rases his hand - actions of the man "who was robbed"
      • (11:17/18) Funny Zhangs face on the deaths door not even mentioned - face of the man "who was robbed"
    • Conclusion - both comentators ganging up and laughing their ass off at Hrgovic while clearly lying sure did contribute to the "robbery" farse.
    Here is the fight at the another angle:

    for those who are actually boxing fans, not just fanboys.

    If Joyce would "copy" Hrgovics approach in his rematch, could he last all 12 rounds?

    Rewatched it some weeks ago and had it a comfortable UD for Hrgovic. Surprisingly well prepared for a southpaw.

    Aged well. Hopefully we get a rematch.

    Being exhausted at the end of a fight does not mean you lost the fight. Everyone knows Zhang won the early rounds and lost the last round very clearly.

    Crazy how people are changing the narrative. Only 11% of people polled immediately after the fight had Hrgovic winning. Some time passes, yeah, now Hrgovic should have won, after Zhang has gained relevance. It was a close fight, but at absolute best you can find a one point win for Hrgovic. Anyone else doesn't understand what they're seeing, are blatantly corrupt (the judges) or hasn't watched the fight.

    I remember that fight fondly, Zhang deserved to fight for the title and if Hrgovic doesn't get a chance, then I will be glad if Zhang becomes the champion...

    I watched it once live but was at work so I missed parts of it and couldn't score it fairly. Zhang won some rounds big and beat the crap out of hrgovic at times. However, Zhang took his foot off the gas and hrgovic came on. I'm not sure if Zhang won enough rounds before hrgovic rallied back. It was a pretty good fight that I'd been meaning to rewatch

    Given the context, it means so. Winner must raise his hand, Zhang was not in the state to raise his hand, so how can you make a point that he won decisevly (not you), others.

    Vitali needed to be hugged and carried by Wlad after the Chisora fight, does it mean Chisora won?

    Did Chisora said he was robbed?

    Whereas it is an intellectually viable position to say that Hrgovic won in punches landed, most felt that Zhang won on effective aggression and clean, hard punching, as well as the knockdown.

    If he had won on effective aggression, Hrgovic would have been K.O., even the knockdown lasted 1 second and looked like back in the head punch. Zhang had no power to K.O. Hrgovic, Hrgovic had a tank chin, and a lot more stamina. Zhang was a punching bag after 6th, great chin and shots as you say, but he didnt finish the job, what is the point of claiming the victory then?

    Hey, he throw some nasty clean big straight lefts that normally K.O.s people - so he won? Only stupid people can claim that.

    Winner doesn't raise his hand at the end does it mean the result of previous rounds change? Hrgovic is a bum who brings nothing to the table. Face it.

    • If we are talking about "points" - no it doesnt change, and that is why Hrgovic won, on points
    • If we are talking about "impresion" - yes, it changes the whole fight, just like many others point Hrgovic has robbed Zhang because first round knockdown - if 1. round changes latter rounds, that latter round can change first rounds as well
    • if hrgovic is a bum (and he is highly ranked bum), why does no one from the top fight him and kick him of the rankings, all they have to do is a fight a bum, easy defeat, easy road to IBF interim champion, why did entire top 10 reject fighing him, including Joe Joyce, that was demolished by fighter who Filip defeated - Joe Joyce, the 1. ranked heavyweight contender, well not anymore

    This is not how boxing works. Sorry.

    It was a knocked down called by the ref and recorded by the judges.

    Hrgovic made no complaint. Legit punch.

    Well, yeah, the fight went to a decision. It is not the issue.

    And yet hit the deck, so no, a little less than what we were sold on, as is the case with everything with Hrgovic.

    Yes, we have agreed that he landed more punches--and not by an insignificant amount, either. Good job in that respect. That is one of the categories that fights are judged on, though not the only one.

    A considerable exaggeration. He slowed down, but it was not easy street for Hrgovic.

    It is not the argument.

    Zhang and a solid majority of viewers felt he won.

    A majority of viewers think so.

    No, you are not smarter than a majority of the boxing community.

    Look Mrs. Hrgovic, your fight is not with me. I have conceaded it was an either way affair, and the judges agreed your boy won. Why not be happy with that? Why try to re-write history and the rules of boxing.

    Zhang won that fight. it was close, and he didn't finish well, but he gets the W for me.

    @catchwtboxing very good post, but Dragan is as delusional as the Usyk's ibrik guy who trolls out only to not even glorify his beloved blonde but writes nonsense and lies in his hatred towards Fury. Some posters here are into boxing only because of a guy they dislike.

    One thing I agree with - if not Zhang or Ruiz, Fury can go with Hrgovic as it seems Usyk has no desire to be an active almost unified HW champion - he has one defence in 20 months against a guy he took the belts from, so he won't fight either Dubois or the Croatian, but will drag and brag until the potential December big event. All those guys are exposed and must be ashamed of themselves, that's the reality no matter who we like or dislike.
