    1# IBF contender Hrgovic vs. #2 IBF contender Wallin for the IBF world title


    Unless Usyk charges his mind and doesn't drop his belt, this match is on.

    Wallin gave Fury one of his toughest fights, cutting him badly ( Fury needed 47 stitches ) and winning 4 of 12 rounds on my card.

    Hrgvoic who has beaten isx undefeated fighters ( likely a record ) and four fighters with just one loss should be able to stop Wallin inside of 8 rounds and become the new IBF champion.

    This is a good fight. I think Wallin wins by decision.

      What make you think that? Wallin isn't a puncher and mostly throw jabs which is a punch that Hrgovic lands often and is not hit by that much.

      So the jabs which Hrgovic throws more of and is harder to hit with. Hrgovic earns the advantage here . Power punches is Hrgovic by an even bigger margin.

      Chins advantage also go to Hrgovic as does the reach.

        Wallin by decision. Decent hand speed and decent footwork should be enough to beat the strong but stiff Hrgovic.

          I thought Wallin was going to get smoked by Gassiev. How wrong I was.

          Hrgo is very tough and has a chin, but has looked less than impressive in his last two wins against lefties. At this point, I think Wallin has the skills and smarts to outbox Flip pretty convincingly over the distance.

            Hrgovic, not being old, used to move better and faster when he was younger and lighter. Now he's lethargic and he can't overcompensate with power and chin. So I see him losing to Wallin on points. Wallin is underestimated usually by Fury haters, so they can insist that a bum gave him a tough fight which he did, only he's not a bum. Anyway, Hrgovic-Wallin is a good fight.

              I guess I see a different fight. I would like to point our that many fighters including Ruiz and Parker ( an Hunter jr ) passed on Hrgovic. The fighters know.

                  I am just exposing the against. And you are at the front of the list. So yeah Roy Jones fans beware. The man was KTFO by one punch ... twice and busted for roids. He would no last vs. Hrgovic either. He would be bombed out. I wish that guy was around today @ heavyweight. The Urban American fighters are out of business at heavyweight. If you can't be, you might as well hate right ,RJJ-94?

                    That's not saying much in this inactive division full of divas. Ruiz passed on everyone. Wants $10 million to fight anybody. Parker's manager said he was injured in 2021 before the Hrgovic fight ever was floated, and he ended up fighting Joyce instead. Hopefully Zhang takes him up on the challenge to rematch. Would like to see them both at their best.
