He thought he could get through it and continue with the training camp etc.

But now.. he’s like ‘naa’

Scott Alexander has taken Hrgovic’s spot this weekend.

I dont think you can get someone better in 4 or 3 days notice

Probably not. I was hoping for Jerry Forest.

This is enough time to mourn. Something is up, if I'm his prometer I delay the fight 1-2 weeks but do not decline the opportunity!

Zhangs power had him shook. No other plausible explanation

Some things are more important than a fornicating boxing match.

Not exactly my thinking. They had plenty of time to call it off due to the circumstances, than waiting until fight week.

The timing DOES seem a little strange, but we gotta give him a pass !
Shouldn't be casting aspersions - his dad has died, let him call it off if he wants.

Yep, benefit of the doubt.....I guess he may have hoped he'd still be able to train etc and didn't want to miss out on the payday...but as the weeks went by he couldn't deal with the loss. That'd be fair enough, and a bit unfortunate for Zhang.
Wasn't Forrest a bit of a last minute replacement in their drawn match?

what do you think is up?

Covid I think.

Was always a weird matchup
Zhang has the circus curiosity factor, I would build him differently

So ko 1 it was...

Hearn said last night that Zhang-Hrgovic may be on the Usyk-Joshua II card.
