Solid fight. Hope it gets made.

It's an excellent matchup, I just assumed Hrgovic would be out for a while because his cut reopened? When I look at Hrgovic I feel there's the outline of a really good fighter there if he could be a bit sharper.

As for the guys supposedly "waiting" for Usyk. The champion fought more recently than both Parker and Kabayel who have been sitting on their silly 'interim' belts, which is part of the problem with having four sets of competing rankings. People will look to strategically place themselves for an easy belt rather than fight fellow top ten TBRB fighters.

Itauma hasn't earned his shot, beating Hrgovic gets him closer.

It only takes one bad loss to completely unravel a fighter's momentum, which is why Kabayel/Parker are being very careful. Joyce's career hasn't been the same since he lost his 1# spot vs. Zhang. Usyk's big purses also incentivize him to defend his titles. Also, Parker/Kabayel probably aren't getting paid anywhere near Usyk's purses.

Kabayel vs. Ajagba, Parker vs. Bakole 2.

Everytime I think of Hrgovic and formerly Joe Joyce I sit chuckling to myself like a mad man realising they practically just block punches with their face until the opponent has exerted themselves.

This era of HWs really is something

Hrgovic with that chin was built especially to take ass whoopings.

Dumb post. Hrgovic is shyt, he gets stopped.

I will be impressed if Itauma stops him in late rounds.

I don`t believe he stops him inside 3 rounds.

Hilarious to think just 3-4 years ago, Hrgovic was seen as a future champ

Big

Ugly

Non British European

Soviet sounding last name

Fits the list for a hardcore fans hype job

He should think about getting surgery to remove his facial scar tissue. He may have a solid chin now, but that won't matter if his face falls apart.

Call me crazy but I think hrgovic stops him

This is a solid "next step" matchup for Moses, to get him in there against a Ring and/or TBRB top 10 guy, but I'll go on record as saying that Hrgovic gets stopped in this one, if the fight indeed does happen. Hrgovic gets hit too much, and I also find him to be slow and plodding, even by heavyweight standards. Moses's combination of speed and power will overwhelm the Croat.
