Comments Thread For: Tony Yoka Receives IBF Invitation To Face Filip Hrgovic In Title Eliminator

[Loque-san]

I saw their olympic fight I thought Yoka won wasn't a blow out but he's the more athletic of the two and puts his punches together better.

This fight was fixed. Yoka's entire olympic run was in fact. It was pretty much proven by the McLaren report ordered by the AIBA.

In any case, Yoka's decision will say a lot about how he likes his chances against Hrgovic, because he has no apparent reason to turn it down, other than the fear of losing his unbeaten record obviously.

He never got caught officially just dodged multiple drug tests. He was suspended for 1 year.

Hrgovic bullied and battered Yoka in all 3 rounds . The first and third rounds weren’t even close ,you couldn’t have really watched this fight . Had the French not bought out the boxing commission in France ,they were even sitting together at ringside obviously a different outcome happens .

Yoka wasn’t near getting his hand raised in a legit judged fight . Even the Joyce fight was closer then this and the board was considering over turning that decision recently .

Went back and watched the Yoka/Hrgy and Yoka/Joyce fight.

Both times he got his clock cleaned good and proper.

Bought out the boxing commission in France? They never fought in France they fought in Brazil, Qatar and Azerbaijan so wtf are you even talking about. In all 3 rounds? The only round Hrgovic won was rd 3 first 2 weren't even close just because the BBC says so you believe that **** all the counters and ring generalship belonged to Yoka he couldn't miss with the jab no way Hrgovic won rd 1 just because 30 seconds in the broadcast team was discrediting him already doesn't mean he wasn't landing jabs and counter rights all round. Hrgovic was plodding forward throwing punches that weren't even landing he got a few right hands but all the clean punches were from Yoka no dispute just from some Euros.

The only fight Hrgovic deserved to win was their first fight and it was still close but he did deserve the win still 2-1 in the books in favor of Yoka keep crying. I don't even think that highly over Tony but he is a better boxer than Filip that's for sure he has also fought better competition as a pro so far as well.

Watch the fight without volume Yoka landed all the cleaner shots in rd 1 and 2 this is their last fight I'm referring to people can cry for overturned decisions but this wasn't one of them I could care less about that report there was a lot of corruption at those Olympics. People are making it seem like Hrgovic steamrolled Yoka who did get tagged up in round 3 but aside from that 1 shot at a time in spurts isn't going to win a fight Hrgovic is a plodder with only a right hand and a good left hook when he actually throws it which is pretty rare.

French guys were running it . No one credible thinks the fight was close .not one comment on you tube either . Yoka landed some jabs a few good rights but your going to ignore 90% of the fight he’s getting hit and being virtually bullied ? Yoka was stumbling all over from missed punches ? Interesting. Those fights were so questionable it caused an investigation into it . You stating Yoka won says more about you scoring a very bad robbery to the other guy then anything else .


“Investigators are understood to have been hampered in their attempts to speak to the French former executive director of the International Boxing Association (AIBA) Karim Bouzidi. McClaren revealed the voting scam was refined at London 2012, where referees and judges received their orders via signals at ringside or by discreet approaches”

If Joyce was robbed so was Hrgovic.

It’s virtually impossible someone can give those fights to Yoka with a clear conscience unless they changed the rules where the fighter who got hit more wins .

Joyce deserved to beat Yoka but not Hrgovic you are biased to the max almost every post you put is about the Croatian. I don't like either guy and Yoka is a roid cheat but he won that fight dude you don't win fights going forward and landing punches on the gloves pin point in round 1 and 2 where he was landing repeated punches because all the harder and cleaner shots were from Yoka the ones that would stop Filip in place not to mention the footwork this isn't the old system it was by rounds he evaded and made Hrgovic look slow as **** for the majority of the fight.

It was a close fight I'll admit that considering it was only 3 rounds and Yoka flat out lost round 3 but the cleaner punches belonged to Yoka and the investigation wasn't into Yoka it was the entire Olympics in general you can't just attach it to him because he's French and the guy involved was French he won a close fight.
