Comments Thread For: Filip Hrgovic: "I Feel Like I Can Beat Oleksandr Usyk"

[Tatabanya]

Usyk is quickly becoming the most overrated top figher in the game.

Usyk might very well appear overrated at this moment.

But Hrgovic has been overrated throughout his career.

100% agree. I don't think ppl are really watching those AJ fights & seeing how close it was. I mean Usyk won obv, but AJ wasn't out of it like THAT. And Usyk gets ****** up good in any of these longer fights at HW. In a fight with a higher IQ guy, like Fury, or a guy coming with bad intentions, like Filip might or Zhang or Deontay would, it might look a whole hell of a lot different.

And now it seems like everyone has seen how King Hippo his body is with all these clips from his am days til DDD so ppl are gonna be coming at him with a body attack harder than ever. I wouldn't be surprised if Usyk took an L to a seemingly lesser guy before he can even lose to Fury.

Agreed with all. And I said after Usyk's last fight that, whether or not you think it was a low blow, every opponent now will try to target Usyk's body.

I like that King Hippo reference.

Whoever thought a Croatian native would have scientifically larger testicles than a so called King Gypsy Spartan warrior and a so called “fighting man“

Usyk is not gonna KO Hrgovic. He took bombs in his last two fights and that knockdown vs Zhang looked behind the head. The second Usyk fight was close as well and his fight against Dubois showed me he is soft to the gut.

In the end, which version of Hrgovic shows up? If he is motivated and not lazy he wins this easy.

I don't think he's got enough to beat Usyk , but we all know who has!

Not sure how anyone calls a master technician overrated when he’s the smaller man in every single HW fight he’s had and will have. If anything he’s underrated for what he’s actually accomplished considering his size and this being the era of the supersized HW.

You really think those AJ fights were that close? Ok….that’s a definite first I’ve seen.

I was not clear enough in my previous post. Let me explain.

I did use the verb "appear" before "overrated", but what I meant to write was "may very well appear overrated to someone". That "someone" does not include me, that's for sure. I consider Usyk a worthy champion, though I didn't like his acting after that body shot by Dubois. I lost a measure of respect for him for that.

I don't think they were THAT wide. I by no means am suggesting AJ got robbed or anything wild like that so if thats what you took away from what I said you are the one waaaaaay off with that interpretation.

Beyond that just look at the cards:

1st fight: 9-3, 8-4, 7-5 Usyk, this means if AJ had won two rds on two cards it would have been a draw. Thats not a super wide W for Usyk.
2nd fight: 8-4, 7-5 Usyk, 7-5 AJ, this means if AJ had won two rds on one card he would have won the fight or one rd on one card it would have been a draw, thats really close

Its not like Usyk Mayweather'd him 10-2, 11-1 in either fight. This was a competitive fight. It wasn't controversial, but it was competitive.

We all saw the fights , Joshua was well beaten and nearly stopped in the 12 , first fight .Fight 2 Joshua had a little success in the 9th and did a little better all around but even fight 2 wasn't close.Usyk was a clear winner in both fights , never mind this had he had won another two rounds etc.
