Daniel Dubois vs. Filip Hrgovic | PPV - 1 June 2024

[forcefraser]

Danny gonna ko the big stiff idiot

[Bigdogsnose]

I think Dubois by stoppage. Hrgovic one stand out win is zhang, which was a weird as fcuk fight, and i am not sure zhang had fully recovered from his health issues- kidney failure is no joke.

Hrgovic talking a lot of shite, suggest he's more nervous facing Dubois's power than other way round. Fancy dubois to go on destructive and knock him out.

[cormack]

hirgovic will beat ddd for me - along the lines of the usyk stoppage .
Dubs did well vs miller but it was like fighting a slow fat walrus .

[jwfg]

Hrgovic has massive fitness problems

He won't have this time, I promise.

[jtourettes]

I keep changing my mind on this one. DDD seems to definitely have quit in him yet he's also fought through adversity twice. He's fought better opponents than Hrg in the pro game too.
Hrg's stand out opponent is ZZ and although I personally gave it to Zhang, it was tight and Hrg proved he could take some big shots and still fight on.

I'd like DDD to win so yeah maybe heart DDD, head Hrg.

Very rare that IBF do interim.., So well done to them

[Twinkle Toes]

Going off the basics, Hrgovic should have more than enough in this one.

Although the fight with Miller was good entertainment Dubois made very hard work of it and showed his level.

Every fight on this card part of the 5 vs. 5 is good.

Weakest is Richards vs. Willy, but that doesn't mean we wont get a good fight..

Plus now with the added bonuses and on top of that the bragging rights, we should see some good fights here.

[Gran Hermano]

Excellent 50/50 fight IMO. Both have had issues of ‘giving up’ in previous fights. As said Hrgovic’s body language against Zhang was odd. Was surprised he got the decision in that. Dubois surprised me against Miller though. Hrgovic is the better boxer but Dubois is quicker and stronger. Looking forward to it and edging just towards Hrgovic

Whoever did the posters for this event should be sent to a Saudi prison for 6 months. The bouncer? The taxi driver? The butcher? Eddie and Frank sitting at a card table?… good grief

I think we’re looking at a promo company run by his excellencies excellent son-in-law

Who is Hrgovic's best win? Has to be a disputed points win over Zhang

Danny did quite well against Usyk and showed balls against Miller

Danny is the form guy here. He gonna do it

Who is Dubois' best win? You used Dubois' losses to say why he's so good but eliminated Hrgovic's win against a top tier opponent for being close.

Hrgovic best opponents:
(2) Zhang - Competitive decision W
(6) McKean - Stoppage W

Dubois best opponents:
(1) Usyk - Dominant stoppage L
(3) Joyce - Competitive stoppage L
(4) Lerena - Competitive stoppage W
(5) Miller - Competitive stoppage W

If you were going to rank their opponents, I imagine they'd be roughly similar to that. Hrgovic even squeezing a close win over Zhang is a much better performance than Dubois has ever put in. Dubois was losing wide on the cards against Usyk, was dropped multiple times against Lerena and was competitive before finishing Miller. His performance against Joyce was reasonable but Joyce was ultimately in control and was never in trouble. Hrgovic did look lacklustre against McKean but did the job without much trouble.

Hrg cleans his clock. Dub has no heart

[SeanBrennan]

Hrg cleans his clock. Dub has no heart

I thought he showed heart vs Lerena when he was injured, and vs the pressure from Miller. He's still only 26 too. They've all got heart to step into the ring imo.

[NazNaci1]

Dubois has quicker hands and a decent jab. Can punch a bit too.

I think he will be too quick and can land some big shots early. Hope he wins, obvs and I fancy him to do so.

[gregregegg]

I was really hoping this would be for the full belt. Because I think it will become the full belt and it’s always better to fight for a vacant than to be elevated from interim (and get called internet champ).

[TheLeprechaun]

Just a matter of time before Dubois starts looking for a way out in this fight.

[Grilling Machine]

I've been saying I think Hrg's the most overrated heavy since Pulev for ages (similar leaky defence), but I'll be a bit surprised if Dub's the man to prove it.

My best guess is Hrg comes through an early onslaught to win via stoppage. If he didn't have a good chin I'd be Dub all the way, and I think he's likely an ideal opponent to flatter AJ.

[DrDuke]

Hrgovic seems to be better, but he didn't look so good in his only big fight vs Zhang. Dubois has the solid puncher's chance, although he is an underdog for the reason.

Fight Night!!

After eating a load of rights, DDD won the fight by some good defensive work, making Hrg miss, keeping his hands tight, moving his feet in and out.
Suddenly Hrg tired and was open to counters
