I wouldn't say Hrgovic is poor. He's got some stuff going on in the penthouse that makes him a bit of a loose cannon no doubt, but not poor. I see a bit of Golota in him. If he could have kept his head on straight for 36 minutes he would have cantered past Zang.
I'll be watching the card for sure. It's a great night of boxing no doubt. I know some people are getting their G-Strings in a bunch because it's not Joshua Wilder, but (and I hate to use these words) it is what it is. Cry it out, order a pizza and enjoy people punching people in the head. It's what we do.
The thing that sticks out for me. In spite of all that's good about this card, boxing still can't help but hamstring itself in the process. De Mori is going to get fucking battered by Hrgovic. He has absolutely zero business being anywhere near that fight, it's dangerous. The IBF forcing Opetaia to vacate. The biggest stink of all is Miller. I fucking hate that clown. I don't care if he's served his time, I don't care how smart people think his mouth is. He's a fucking disgrace and in a sane world, he would have burned all his bridges at this point.
I'm also a little uneasy about Wilder Parker. OK he's had a few comeback wins. But Parkers last meaningful fight was getting dismantled by Joyce. If he goes down in this one it's going to be a rough landing.
