Hrgovic – Adeleye War stole the program

Filip Hrgovic (19-1, 14 KO) praised the power and harshness of his defeated opponent, David Adeleye, after his night war struggle on Saturday night in Riad’s Anb Arena, Saudi Arabia.

Hrgovic said Adeleye had trapped him with better punches than Daniel Dubois, Zhilei Zhang or anyone in his career. These two are known for their power, but Hrgovic valued Adeleye over them. His problem is that he did not throw enough.

Hrgovic defeated Adeleye by a ten -round unanimous decision for scores:

The two warriors, Hrgovic and Adeleye, stole the show from the starting ceremony between Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte with the Battle back in the eighth round. This struggle was more entertaining to see than the slaughter at the main event. Hrgovic had realized with his right hand and seemed broken, ready to end.

Adeleye’s eighth eighth round

Adeleye stood and triggered a counter-assault to Hrgovic, traping him by surprise and hitting him with a sudden outburst.

It is a miracle that Hrgovic remained standing because it was hit with nine solid strokes in this sequence. Hrgovic got up bravely and set off for trouble seeing the end of the eighth.

Hrgovic praises Adeleye’s power

“He is a good punch. He has a good power. I think he caught me best traits than dubois, than zhangthat no one in my career, “Hrgovic said to TV IFL About Adeleye. “It’s fast, it has a good power and I think it was a good struggle.”

The shot on the right with which Adeleye initially injured Hrgovic with the eighth round would have done the same in any of the heavy weight division. He was a big one who caught him as he had just floated Adeleye less than a minute earlier.

As in his other defense, Adeleye had the potential to win, but he was not punching when he was under the fire and had just made punishments from Hrgovic. If I could learn to launch sustained combinations as he did in the eighth against Hrgovic, it would be difficult for anyone to come.
