Impressive win. This kid is moving-up quickly at 6-0.

Very impressive, against a much shorter opponent. I'd like to see what he would do against a fighter with similar reach to himself. In the fights I've seen him in, he has leaned heavily on his reach advantage.

Anyone got the vid??

That size difference didn't even seem fair

It's on youtube. Filip is tall, but his style is bad. He hangs his left by his knees begging for a big right hand. Amir tried but he was too short.

Hrgovic looks like worse and less experienced Klitschko.

[4truth]

He has a style similar to Pulev but with more power and poorer defense. He might want to try to emulate the way Pulev uses his extended arms to pick off a lot his opponents offense.

[Ray Corso]

He has 4 years to learn some defense and a lot more offense.
The sooner his management hires an American trainer to teach him the better the kid will be. He has no defense at all other than being tall! When Mansour moved to him he backed off but Mansour stopped his attack what happens when someone his age keeps some pressure on him?

He is young and seems willing but he better stick with the trial horses for a while.

No offense but Mansour is 46 years old. If you can't beat him then you don't belong in boxing.
