Comments Thread For: Filip Hrgovic Withdraws From IBF Eliminator With Zhang Zhilei On Canelo-Bivol Undercard

They say time heals yet you dont know the circumstances and death affects everyone different. Outside of a the typical sadness that comes with death, you dont know whats in his head. Sure as a fighter he probably figured can fight through it and training would occupy mind yet you never know what triggers he has or hit. Maybe him mom depressed hysterical putting him a fluke or such. Dude had no luck ruiz dodged him ortiz as well yoka wanted the fight yet had pre signed another fight finally gets a fight then his dad dies. when negative shhh happens it happens back to back to back.

Not much time to heal considering it's been about month since his father died and it was in the middle of his training camp. It's not like he was fighting a Booker type who were collecting a cheque. The Big **** is there to win and won't fold easily like a Booker would.

I feel sorry for Hrgovic but he should've pulled out much earlier, not on fight week.

I feel more sorry for Zhang, this was his big shot, he probably won't get one now.

I hope for hrgovic sake they don't get zhang too good of a replacement he isn't the best and could lose. Leaving hrgovic back to square 1 looking for a ranked opponent to take the eliminator.

Saying that, the eliminator won't be a priority for him at this time. I'm sure he will bounce back even the time is right for him

Really! I also would love to see what Jermaine Franklin can do against some top-tier competition. Was really exited when he was mentioned as a potential opponent for Whyte last year.

Well, according to his IG, he’s fighting May 7th ... not sure against who

It could be argued who would fold ,Bookers actually never folded in a fight . A motivated Hrgovic is a different story though and I believe Hrgovic would have folded Zhang inside 7 rounds only because of a long lay off he may take his time . I also believe Hrgovic had a last minute decision to make and for whatever reason postponed this one . There’s a lot that goes on in camps so we won’t know until he’s interviewed .
