Comments Thread For: Hrgovic Still In Search Of Foe For IBF Eliminator; Gassiev, Ruiz Cite Injuries In Declining Offer

Put McKean - Hrgovic in Kambosos fight undercard.

Damn! Talk about a "boogeyman!" This is ridiculous! Somebody please MAN UP!

[PRINCEKOOL]

This is a big opportunity for somebody, a fighter needs to unsuspectingly put themselves forward 'Risk it all'.

I think since Anthony Joshua appeared on the heavyweight scene, most fighters in and around the top level 'Think they can sit back, and just wait for big business fights'.

You still have to put the work in, and fight the fights that are going to lead you to glory 'And these fights may not be big business'.

Hrgovic is not really a attractive fight for most heavyweights it seems, I don't even think it is fear.

I didn’t realize this until just now, but the IBF is refusing to offer the shot to Charles Martin, who was #3 and is now #8 after losing to Ortiz??

I realize you don’t want to make a guy who was recently KOd a mandatory, but we’re now well outside the top ten here. They should offer it to Martin.

Martin already rejected it, it was before Ortiz -Martin fight.

It's a shame Gassiev is still dealing with an injury because I suspect he would have taken it to accelerate his campaign at HW. I imagine it would have been an entertaining fight between two guys with pedigree.

McKean doesn't seem to be anywhere near ready and I doubt he's in a rush. Zhang is up there in age and he seems to want it. He's not that good but he's big and appears to have heavy hands.

Maybe Hrgovic hasn't been focused in recent fights because of the level of opposition but he's been touched in exchanges. I expect him to smoke Zhang without much issue but if he's sloppy and let's Big **** land cleans who knows what could happen.

I heard Gassiev is contemplating retirement over his injuries. Shame.

Damn. That would be a disappointing end of his career. Gassiev came across as a nice enough guy and I enjoyed him blast through his opposition on the cruiserweight division. Was curious bhow his HW campaign would go.

IBF should remove completely from their rankings the ones who are not interested in fighting for their belt, whats the point?

Joyce
Parker
Kabayel
Ruiz Jr
Gassiev maybe

McKean and Zhang should both accept. Hughie will.

Im still gutted IBF denied Yoka the oportunity. They should at least give team Yoka and Hrgovic the option to sort something out. Imagine a 4 men tournament:
Yoka x Bakole
Hrgovic x Zhang
Winners meet up for the mandatory shot. Exciting I'd say

The IBF belt is stuck with the rematch and the undisputed fights this year, it would be a great way of keeping the fighters active and making the mandatory legit and deserving.

[Marchegiano]

Well, ****, I'll be that guy then.....since I guess Chollo only does lounge anymore.


How come when it's a white guy folks duck y'all call it like it is.

When it's a black man youse claim it's the black man making low offers who doesn't really want a fight?

Martin just got knocked out how would he be offered the fight ?
