Baloke isn't very good. Indeed he fought 7 guys with losing records or debuts in his first 11 fights leading up to his match with Hunter. Can you say protected? A garden variety big man, boxing full of them. That's what I know.

Hrgovic by contrast is a decorated amateur and WSB fighter who's 6'6" with an 82" reach, skills, and power. Hunter is in over his head here.

In addition Hrgovic record of opponents are far better. No one had al losing record, he defeated some known guys, some of whom fought for minor or major titles. All of these wins were easy one for him. While Hunter is his best opponent so far, he's only on his 12th fight. Who did Tyson or Lewis fight in their 12th fight? Who did Wlad fight in his 12th fight? No one as good as Hunter, so he's being moved quicker than most. Covid-19 and others avoiding him have slowed things down a bit.

After this match, maybe a tune up to fight Babic, then bring on Joshua who's going to need an opponent soon since it looks like Fury is backing out of that opportunity.

Hunter has little to of no chance here ,easy win for Hrgovic but just because it’s ordered doesn’t mean Hunter will agree to it .

Did you even read the article you are commenting on? Hunter clearly said he accepted the fight.

You can accept any fight but one still has to agree to terms to make the fight official which is what I meant ,glad I can educate you again .

Hopefully it gets done .

You can't seriously compare Hrgovic to Bakole though? Hrgovic has the amateur pedigree, he's sharper, faster, more dynamic with this output, his jab is way better & his boxing IQ is far higher. I'm gonna say Hrgovic is a bigger puncher too from what I've seen. Agree that I wanna see Hrgovic progress quicker in the pro's but that's why this is the perfect step-up fight at the right time.

[Eff Pandas]

Good fight for the #1 Man position.

Man, I don`t care about amateurs. This is 12 rounds pro fighting not some 3 round ****.

The truth is, Hrgovic hasn`t been in serious pro fight yet.

[KTFOKING]

Definitely down with this fight. Hrgovic gets his first live body and Hunter always brings it.

Good fight!
