    Anybody cares about Hrgovic -Zhang?

    I don`t really. I don`t think these guys are good enough to trouble Fury, Usyk or Joshua, honestly.

    Hrgovic - Zhang winner can only win a vacant IBF title if Usyk -Joshua rematch winner drops it.

    They're big guys with good amateur pedigrees, so I'm definitely curious to see how they perform against each other. I'm excited for their fight, actually. Now, neither has done much of anything in the pro ranks and may not pose any threat to the top guys (perhaps time will tell), but a heavyweight fight between two ambitious fighters looking for their shot has plenty of appeal for me.

      Zhang is pretty bad from the two fights I saw. Hands, feet and reactions all pretty slow. He’s huge though so always makes it entertaining.

        - - Nobody ever touted Zhang, but they did Hrgovic, so now Zhang a chance to knock him off.

          It's a heavyweight fight that advances the winner, not by much, but it does.

          It's better than the typical prospect/fringe contender vs duhaupas/hammer/wach/ustinov/k. Johnson/molina route.

            I'm looking forward to it in a landscape where not much happening. For both its a step up so we learn a bit

              The winner gets A.J / Usyk .

              It’s not just a random fight it’s for the IBF mandatory. Hrgovic is the most dangerous heavyweight out there for anyone no one’s in a rush to fight him for a reason and money excuses don’t cut it because a win over him gets in all likelihood an A.J fight who should defeat Usyk and that’s the end goal for everyone .

                I haven't seen enough of Zhang tbh but I get the impression this is supposed to be a walkover for hrgovic.

                If hrgovic wins I'd like to see him against Usyk.

                  I care. The more these guys fight each other one of them has to emerge as a legit HW.

                    Yeah, I like the fight too. In fact, I'm specifically looking forward to it. Nobody wanted to fight him. Then Zhang stepped up. So props to Zhang too, and I hope there's a KO.
