Is he ever in shape? He wasn't in shape against Zhang and DDD either.
He lacks the work ethic on his craft to reach is potentinal. In his early and mid fights he was in shape. Now the man needs a diet / workout coach.
I give Hrg a B- in this fight. He can in heavy, and obvisouly was not in shape. Who's fault is that? He won by a wider margin than the judges said he did, but he has regressed a bit.
His next fight I want to see him at 240-245. I hope he fights Fury next.

I believe Hrgovic will fight somebody ranked by WBO, because this was for some WBO belt.
Maybe Huni. Huni -Hrgovic would be a good fight.
Huni has yet to face someone as big as Hrgovic too, so it'll definitely be a test.
That's a bad move for Itauma. Too risky. Too early to put him in with a guy who can eat those kind of punches for 10 rounds and throw back.
It'll show us how mature Itauma is. If he really believes he's capable of becoming a young HW champion, he'll find a way to beat Joyce. Itauma needs an opponent who can actually absorb his offense, and Joyce still has enough of a chin to test Itauma in a variety of ways.
Joyce vs. Itauma.

Walking forward the entire time doesn't necessarily mean you're trying to make the fight. It's more like you're one-dimensional, you can't fight in the middle of the ring.
Both the mover/runner and the chaser are one-dimensional. One can't stay in one spot (no chasing), the other don't have inside game.
This sounds like a weird match-up, but I'd like to see Hrgovic vs. Anderson.

Maybe Huni. Huni -Hrgovic would be a good fight.
More likely Joyce vs the winner of Allen/Fisher 2.
I like both Joyce and Allen as people, but imagine watching them fight. People would be on live support with DAZN complaining about buffering.
I just don't see Hrgovic beating any actual decent prime HW. I think even Itauma in the infancy of his career would smash his head in
Great chin, tough guy but nothing much else. Slow, stiff arm-puncher with a below par defence, mediocre power at best, poor gas tank.
There's odd glimpses of talent with Hrgovic but he's just a very very lazy guy who sleepwalks through fights.
That is likely. The way Joyce looked, he still has 1 fight in him.
Joyce has enough to be a legit step-up for Itauma. If Itauma can stop Joyce, it's a statement.
Don't want to see JJ fight anymore, he takes far too many clean punches, it's not good. I didn't enjoy watching that one it became uncomfortable towards the end watching Joe almost trip over his own feet.
