Comments Thread For: Michael Hunter vs. Filip Hrgovic Ordered By IBF For No. 1 Man...

[JakeTheBoxer]

To be or not to be fight for Hrgovic, if Hunter beats him, he will have a hard way to get back on track.

I still have my doubts how good Hrgovic is.

[vlad100]

I can really only see one winner.Hrgovic is too strong for Hunter.He is powerful and has a good chin.On top of that he is a good technician.His weakness is defense but
he makes up with his chin and Hunter isnt a big puncher.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I think Hunter wins the same way he did it against Bakole.

Just make sure there will be a good referee and Hrgovic won`t be allowed to rabbit punch.

[Zonkmeister]

Good fight, hope they make it, lessgo, champs!

I kept thinking this fight was already done, but it’s great to see it ordered for a title bid. Because now it would make sense to both boxers.

Oh ****, Hrgovic against a man with a pulse? We'll see if Croatia's Frankenstein has any talent now.

If he is what he's hyped to be this should be easy work for Fil. He has every physical advantage and they say he knows how to box too. I'm excited to see.

LOL, Hrgovic is very avoided. He gets this fight because the very poor Martin has pulled out from fighting Hunter, and Hunter needs a big win to get a title shot. Hrgovic called out many. If you live near Miami like me, he has big time gym talk.

Heck as an amateur he more than held his own with Wilder, made David Haye postpone his match with a nasty cut, and rumor says backed Wlad up with at the time was prepping to fight Joshua. Pretty good credentials, and he's much better now.

Franenstien never moved like he can. This guy is not only big, & long he moves around extremely well and for his size has fast hands. Pay attention to his accuracy, its semi rare at heavyweight. Hunter is who was pretty much even with an aging Povektin, is going to be a sitting duck. Completely out gunned and facing a man who might have the best chin in the division. he'll be covering up hoping to counter and taking hard body shots during the process.

If the judges were honest in RIO, Hrgovic wins gold and get the hype the goes with it. IMO Hunter is a bottom level top 10 fighter win his prime. Stopping him will mean something.

Well, like I said, plenty say he's good and this is his time to prove it. I'm not rooting for or against Filip or Michael. Both have plenty to prove and both are considered good HWs despite their lack of pro HW resumes, so it should be a good fight.

As far as Frankenstein, that's because he's a big EE. I mean it playfully not actually a criticism of his abilities.

[heavyweight62]

Hunter's not a natural heavyweight, he's a bridgerweight. He can run a maximum of four or five rounds, and then he'll get knocked out. It's going to be a great match, but a one-way street. The real treat will be Hrgovic vs. A.J.

[Amber_TKO]

Hrogivc will be too big for Hunter but it's still an interesting fight. Great step-up in opposition & a chance to see what he's got against a real live opponent. If Hrgovic is a hype job, then Hunter will expose him even with the size difference - he's fast & has got pop on his punches.
