Comments Thread For: Hrgovic's Promoter Like Idea of Facing Zhilei Zhang in IBF Eliminator

[hugh grant]

I don't have to think a guy is championship level to want to see him fight. I enjoy fighters and fights at all levels. I prefer competitive fights above all else.
Hrgovic is an unknown to me, I've seen him fight about half a dozen times but the level of competition has been pretty suspect so it's hard to really get a good idea how good he is. The Croatian has wiped out his opponents but has been hit clean in some of those fights. He has a pedigree but I can't go by amateur experience or World Series of Boxing to determine how good of a fighter he will be.

Zhang seems limited in his skills but he hits hard. He dropped a normally durable Jerry Forrest several times early but then faded badly in the second half of the fight and literally almost died in the ring. He's big but he's slow.

I would expect Hrgovic to defeat Zhang but it's hard to really know based on the level of each fighters opposition. If they fight each other maybe we can learn a bit about where they stack up among the other guys in the division.

Well, if flip can't secure Zhang fight, maybe Jerry forest would be good?

No you said that because Yoka declined Hrgovic. How has he done more ? That’s what you said .

One cannot be doing more if they don’t accept the fight ,that’s doing less isn’t it ?

You ever get diagnosed?

Jerry just fought Michael Hunter in a fight that I didn't see but many felt he deserved to win (but only got the draw). If Forrest was ready that would be a good fight. He's a tough guy and beginning to gain in confidence. He fought Takam to a close decisions and I thought I'd he was less passive early he could have won.
