I like Fury too but man this is the second time he avoided a rematch he was contracted to take. That only holds up the division with court battles & more titles getting stripped. I don’t really care where a guy is from. I miss the 90s. There was the big 3 (Tyson, Holyfield & Lennox) & everyone else fought each other to get that big payday. In my era (Late 80s until now) that was by far the best times for me watching HW boxing. There were great fighters from all over & they all wanted to fight in the US when HW was thriving there. I miss those days. The sport is dying there. The cash cows are in Europe the last 20 years.
    Oh i'm not saying you. You seem like a good dude. I'm just talking generally when it comes to the internet or other media with the way they go about things. They project their ills on others and claim they're the ones ducking to save face. Every fight that involves an American will pretty much not happen. It's a rare thing. And as i say, only if the circumstances are just right for them. You only need to look at their opponents across the board to see a consistent pattern. If their disadvantaged opponent manages to actually win, they then have their judges as the last resort to do their job and rip off the outsider fighter.

      Too be honest it seems bad judging, refs & PED users are not uncommon anywhere. Here, the US & Europe… hell my city has been the host of Jelena Mrdenovich for over a decade. My city is the only city that robs their own champion. She has 11 losses & bunch of them were here in Edmonton
      & almost all of them she won the fight. Never once got the hometown decision in a close fight. She even pointed it out & started fighting out of the country more because of it…

        The PEDS and the robberies are one thing, but it's the position that their opponents are in before they actually take the fight. Had Hrgovic been out for about 17-18 months, i think Hunter would have went for it. But he last fought in NOV 2020. So that's a no go.

          No, they're not. He just needs a reason to duck an actual tough fight. He'll fight those he thinks are bums or finished, but anyone that is clearly a threat, he'll get the running shoes out. You know, like everyone over there does?
          I think his next fight will probably be on Trilla, yes.

            Hrgovic looks decent but I have not seen him fight anyone other then Kingpin or Molina. Molina had been finished for a few years. Not saying he will end up that way but I have seen it with Boytsov, Dimitrenko & David Price where they all looked like they had the stuff to do good things & fell flat when they went to the next level. Botysov never even got to the next level after losing to Leapai. I reserve judgement on Hrgovic until I see more. Hunter had already beat 2 decent prospects in Kuzmin & Bakole. Time will tell with him. Amateur pedigree doesn’t always make a great pro. I’ve seen medalists fall flat on more than one occasion. I look forward to watching him fight more

              Yoka or Kabayel probably.

              Kabayel was unfortunate not to get a Fury title shot in december 2020.

                Yeah in theory Hrgovic is serial killer, but he didn`t prove it yet.

                I mean, in theory Hrgovic is much more dangerous guy than Chisora for example. Chisora loses nearly every bigger fight. But Chisora is war proven fighter and he is a draw, Hrgovic is not.

                I would love to see Hrgovic -Yoka.

                  Only an idiot would turn down more money for less money.

                  And it's a WBA eliminator as well. Which means that the winner will be closer to getting a title shot than the IBF's #1 contender.

                  It's a no brainer. Michael Hunter made the right choice.

                    It sounds as if Hunter isn’t just a serious hunter but a duck Hunter in fact!

                      So Eddie being cheap again then masking it with his mis-matchroom bots on the internet typing crap like "Earn with Hearn". Eddie really has these idiots fooled and when you criticise Eddie they respond with lame comments like "rent free".

                      LOL brainwashed idiots.
