What?
You think they both get knocked out?
Don't really fancy the draw tbf, but should be there..? :maybe:

Ok, I'll vote Hrg stoppage - better chin and more proven - but I hope DDD wins.

:lol: Fair enough. I mean, they could see the final bell.. And get scored a draw. But I think someone is getting stopped.

you never know, fights between big punchers can surprise - seen more than a few cases where they are both wary enough of each other's power that it becomes low output and fairly uneventful, or both gas trying to land their big shot and neither then has the juice to end it.

73% pick Hrgovic to win, to date. I agree with that majority if the voters in the poll, Hrgoivc to win via stoppage.

He will either knock him out or make him quit.

Hoping for a Dubois win, but I think Hrgovic takes this, possibly by late TKO.

Doobie let the cat out of the bag the other day by saying this fight wouldn't go like the sparring he had with Hrg. :doh:
So something I didn't know is these two sparred, definitely once, possibly twice and the consensus is Hrg battered Doobie badly.

Hrg was a 25 year old olimpic medalist… DDD was a 19 year old preparing for a southern area title fight…. So it would be bad if hrg didn’t batter him.

Since then hrg has got heavy, fell in love with his power, and gets 90% of his KOs through clubbing back of the head against cans…

DDD has fallen short a few times, but has taken tough fights. Gorman was a near 50-50 blitzed him. Joyce with hindsite was insane but did ok, usyk is just usyk but did ok, and battered miller in a tough fight.

Near 50-50 for me still, I don’t buy into that sparing too Much.

Dubois is vulnerable to a big shot, he could go if caught right.

:TU: Thanks for the context.
I think DDD has improved gradually.
He's had more adversity than he was ready for, and like you said - did OK.
