Yeah McKean should have had a point off by now and be approaching the second point off and maybe final warning.

Jesus wept McKean holds again and the ref warns Hrgovic for shoulder barging McKean off of him.

Maybe, but something missing with him , his conditioning and self belief is not there .

Haha thank fornicate for my bet on the fight to not go the distance.

I think McKean was unaware of what he looked like. I think he thinks he was calmly walking to the corner.

Not a good fight. Doesnt make Hrgovic look good. McKean should be a good tough gatekeeper for some up and comers now.

one big shot was great. but 2 of those finnishing shots were clear, intentional shots to the back of the head. If you make a shot illegal you have to stick to that, just cause you land a clean shot dosent mean you can flurry back of the head.

Whatever Netflix series Hrgovic is keen to get back to watching, he can settle down and watch it now.

The ref ruined that fight. McKean should have had points taken off for holding. Would have been a much better fight if McKean wasn't allowed to hold Hrgovic onto the ropes the entire time!

I agree. Those were not the only punches behind the head. I'm surprised hrg was not warned earlier

Hrgovic just seems a bit basic. Tall guy with a jab, straight right and looping lefts or rights. Mainly single shots and there's nothing crisp to his work at all. Fair enough he got the job done, as with the Zhang fight (which now looks a good result mind), but sometimes his body language ie walking away or listlessy backing up to the ropes, isn't good.

This moody, serenely confident look from Joshua is getting a tad tiresome. He’s no Lennox.

He’s coming off a win where he appeared highly unsure of his fuel tank from the off.
