Unbeaten heavyweight Filip Hrgovic (11-0, 9 KOs) has vowed he’ll be the first man to stop 39-year-old Rydell Booker (26-3, 13 KOs) on Saturday night at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, live on DAZN in the USA and RTL in Croatia.
“He will not hear the final bell,” proclaimed Hrgovic. “I want to get this job done early, and I believe I can do that. I hit harder than Kubrat Pulev, I move faster than him. I believe Rydell had some successes against Pulev, against me he’ll have none. I have sparred with him before, but this won’t be like sparring. The heavyweight division is very exciting right now, with a lot of big names – I am here to come out on top of those names.”
Wasn’t he part of TeamCannon (I think that was there name) from back in the day. Hasn’t he been in jail, Rydell Booker? He is well past his sell by date.
OMG stop fighting ancient fighters and no hopers.
I hope Hrgovic does not imitate the glorious career of Manuel Charr.
Hrgovic is a great talent that Eddie Hearn needs to put to a test against a top 25 fighter.
Hrgovic has the potential to be a HWC.
It’s hard to beat a guy with as good a rabbit punch as Hrgovich. Lucky for him the rabbit punch appears to now be legal.
Hrgovic vs Molina was of the worst where he was blatantly aiming for the back of the head.
Take anyone a bet – Were a fighter to be hit behind the head and he retaliates with a low blow, who would more likely to be DQ’ed? Guarantee you it would be the boxer who threw the less dangerous low blow. Crazy why refs do not take this more seriously.
