Comments Thread For: Filip Hrgovic sends Joe Joyce towards retirement with unanimous decision win

[Dr Z]

Alot of people thought Hrgovic was the future of the division. I think we can agree that he is not. I think Chisora stops him at this point. Joyce is completely shopworn, stumbling about and throwing arm punches and yet the Croatian still goes life and death with him.

Chisora does what? I admit the Hrgovic does not train hard, but he fought three big puncher in Zhang, Dubois, and Joyce . Who punches harder than these three? Maybe AJ and that is it.

Power is the last thing to go and Joyce had that.

When he faces man of lesser power or size, he will shine.

Until then, get in shape.

Hrgovic shouldn’t be to far away from his own retirement
Totally gassed after four rounds against the fog that is Juggernaut
Doesn’t look like the same guy he used to be before that beating from DDD

Yes, in both of his last two fights he was gassed after 4 rounds. Does not speak very highly of his work ethic in the gym. Looks like a big guy that is a bit lazy in the gym when it comes to preparing for a fight and getting into tip top condition. He will not do very well going forward with that approach and will be knocked out by anyone half decent.

Yeah, I agree. Hrgovic is done as a heavyweight contender. If it had not been for those two encounters with Zhilei Zhang; Joyce would have easily gotten him outta there. Those fights really aged him.

Especially at heavyweight

Never had the feeling he would go far
Maybe Zhang got the best of him but won’t get any easier from here on

TBH it was ****, both looked ****, and I don't expect much out of either.

That was a very entertaining fight! Joyce is very tough! Great win for Hrgovic!
