Comments Thread For: Scott Alexander Replaces Filip Hrgovic As Zhang Zhilei's Opponent On Canelo-Bivol Undercard

[P to the J]

meh. Women's boxing is lame. I'm not paying for a fight unless I get to see it live. They aren't going to fix boxing. They're going to milk it dry. Same with the NFL. It's gone soft. They say they want it to be safer but they still allow players to launch and boxing should have mandatory testing that all sanctioning bodies should pay for. They don't care. Money. Money. Money.

I like women's boxing and, tbh, I'd watch geriatrics fight if they were evenly matched, but this is beside the point I suppose..

What you're saying is the whole show, right here. Sport's parasites would sooner move into a different marketplace with the same modus operandi rather than admit **** stinks. Good comparison on the NFL.

May as well be Jason Alexander.

At least Jason Alexander would, at least as George, "show him what it's like."

"Shut your traps and stop kicking the seats! We're trying to watch the movie. And if I have to tell you again, I'm gonna take you outside and show you what it's like. Do you understand me? Now, shut your mouths or else I'll shut them for you... and if you think I'm kidding, just try me. Try me. Because, I would LOVE IT!" Nash out.

Buster Douglas fought with a heavy after his mother passed away & turned it into the biggest upset in HW boxing history. It is very sad news about his father but this could end up costing him.

I remember that night well. People deal with emotional trauma and personal loss in different ways. For some it gives them focus and purpose and others it derails their efforts.

It's disappointing. I don't rate Zhang highly but I was looking forward to seeing Hrgovic in against a somewhat live opponent.

Hrgovic should go back to the end of the queue.

I feel sorry for the guy but why wait until fight week to pull out?

I don’t want to be too insensitive as my parents are still alive but i am surprised he would wait this long. It happened a month ago. They may have been able to secure another IBF top 15 fighter to step in on 4 weeks notice. I don’t think any available ranked guy would turn down fighting Zhang in a final eliminator on short notice. He isn’t as young or dangerous as Hrgovic. One week is too short of notice. Zhang lost out on some good money…

Same thoughts. This was precisely the type of high-profile event that Hrgovic needed to break out and become a name in the HW division. He's still a relatively young HW at 29 yrs old, but he's squandered a great opportunity.

Yeah, i feel more sorry for Zhang tbh, this was his big shot.

Hrgovic father dies 18.4.22. at 67. Obviously his sorrow is still present.
