Comments Thread For: Filip Hrgovic Stops Demsey McKean in Twelfth, But Fails To Impress

[Someone88]

McKean did well! Great win for Hrgovic!

[PBR Streetgang]

Some people seem to still cling to the notion that Hrgovic is the bogeyman of the HW division. Maybe they are right and I'm just not seeing it.

Feel free to mention his prowess in the amateurs or how he dominated the WSoB. My eyes keep seeing a guy who has been getting tagged clean fight after fight. The one decent fighter with power that he fought hurt him on multiple occasions and arguably beat him.

McKean isn't better than we thought he was. Sure he's a southpaw but that's not why Filip looked bad. Filip looked bad because he's not what a lot of people thought he was.

Hrgovic has just stopped a unbeaten fighter, possibly at his peak.

Fury was unable to legitimately stop a semi-retired Chisora in his last fight 'The stoppage was manufactured. If the referee did not jump in, Chisora in my opinion could of survived the full 12 rounds'.

I don't think Hrgovic is the bogeyman of the Heavyweight division, but really? Hrgovic is unbeaten, and has another win on his resume.

I understand what people are doing, especially hardcore Fury fans. There will be people out there now, who seem to think JUST because Hrgovic did not blast out Mckean that he is no longer worthy of being deemed a top level fighter 'Eliminating another possible opponent for Fury, with their mystical rating system' etc.

Hrgovic is fighting unbeaten southpaws back to back. You guys are overcritical towards him.

Hrgovic is fighting better opposition than Fury does. That should bother you.

Come on, McKean hugged him to death. Hrgovic almost got pregnant how much McKean hugged him.
If he was fighting Wilder, Joshua, etc. every fight would look like this...a hug fest

Hrgovic has stopped a few undefeated fighters possibly at their peak. Doesn't mean that any of them were quality opponents (Pavel Sour, Filiberto Tovar, etc). Which victory of McKean's gave you a true measure of his level?

I'm no Fury fan. I think his fight against Ngannou is a joke of a money grab and I think he wants no part of any legitimate threat so long as he can fight shopworn opponents and novices.

I still don't see a whole lot in Hrgovic.

If I felt that Fury was doing anything more than cash grabs against the likes of Whyte, Chisora and Ngannou while pretending to want to face real quality opponents it would. Fury is who he is but that doesn't change my opinion of Hrgovic.

Told people to keep an eye on McKean, even if he does lose, he would show you something.

Man gives a nice hug...

But it’s the BoxingScene article headline that says Hrgovic failed to impress, not Tyson Fury fans.

But it’s the BoxingScene article headline that says Hrgovic failed to impress, not Tyson Fury fans.

Hardcore Fury fans have been piping up post fight attacking Hrgovic's performance 'This is a specific tactic they use to devalue any possibly threat towards Fury, in the hope of disqualifying that fighter as a opponent'.

I have watched and observed this mass behavior from hardcore Fury fans for sometime 'It is a tool which Fury utilizes, or has utilized during his career'.

Was you impressed with Fury vs Chisora III?

Tyson Fury during the build up to Chisora III, stated that he would meet Chisora in the center of the ring and duke it out 'That never happened'.

How come people say Joshua was fighting scared and all tentative vs Helenius & Franklin, but Fury was not vs Chisora & Whyte?

Fury in his last two fights, has basically used the same kind of tactics Joshua used vs Franklin & Helenius 'But none of the media has shown Fury the same level of critiqued' etc.
