Three-time world title challenger Dennis Hogan (28-3-1, 7 KOs) is confident he will end the unbeaten record of WBO #2,IBF #3 Tim Tszyu (17-0, 13 KOs) when they clash on March 31 at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, Newcastle, NSW, Australia.
“I’ve got more skills, I’ve got more everything and I fully believe I’m the better boxer,” Hogan told Fox Sports. “That’s why this fight excites me so much. I’ve never wanted a fight as much as this my whole life.
“Even Jeff at his best, he was a welterweight,” Hogan said. “The guy (Bowyn Morgan) he knocked over in the first round was a welterweight. Two of the best from his most recent wins are people that are genuinely at a lower weight category.
“They’re talking about him and all his power but he didn’t put a scratch on Jeff (Horn) regardless of how the fight went down. That won’t be me, I’m fully confident in my own abilities. I know I will get the win, something inside me has opened up…I’m all in for this, this is my whole life and I will be taking this seriously. I won’t be doing silly things. I’m going to make him look average, completely average.”
Talk is cheap and simply a market tool to boost confidence and sell a fight. Now, Hogan, let’s see what you said you can do; make Tsyzu look average.
Believe that Horn said that too.
To be fair 15 of Tyszu opponents have been welterweights so Hogan is right in saying that.
Does Hogan win? Maybe but he will do way better then the canon fodder Tim has been fighting.
We all know and saw that Hogan beat Munguia but was robbed of the decision. He can take a good shot and be a spoiler in this fight. Tszyu is gonna have to be at his best and hungry!
