Hrgovic is regularly punching Molina at the back of the head. He’s not doing it by accident either, because he’s using his left hand to push the American down prior to landing the straight right hand at the back of the head.

Apart from that dodgy tactic, the bout is clearly a mismatch.

I can’t believe Hrgovic has won via a right hand thrown to the back of the head!

The ref did a poor job. Hrgovic was too good for Molina, but he should have been penalised for those fouls!

I’ll probably get attacked for my opinion, because maybe you guys feel rabbit punches are perfectly acceptable.

No Molina should have been bc he was dipping his head repeatedly and the ref warned Molina about it. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Nonsense. Molina never came to win, just tried complaining and lucky haymaykers. Then gave up.

The ref didn’t count the first knockdown. It was due to a rabbit punch.

Learn the rules of the sport. The ref gave the benefit of the doubt to the house fighter.

Even the Sky Sports commentary team admitted this.

Your lack of knowledge relating to the sport of boxing is comedic, especially considering the Sky Sports commentary team conveyed the same thoughts I did.

You’ve even been spoon fed the rules but you can’t acknowledge them.

I don't think so. Wach is too old and shot. Anyway, I can not wait to see Whyte again.................

Wach looks fat around the middle, can't believe Whyte at 6-3 outweighs him. Whyte looks well-padded, too.

The atmosphere in the stadium is rather dire.

The Saudi’s don’t seem interested in the bouts.

Closer then one would expect. Whyte is having problems with Wach. Can't get off or create anything yet. Wach is getting some punch in. Not pretty at all but close fight.

And yeah the stadium is pretty low-key and hoping that the next one will be better.

Can't see Whyte getting passed 3 rounds with Wilder at this form he is showing tonight.

This gonna go the full 10. Not seeing anything that saying it will end soon.
