Hrgovic got the stoppage against Itauma. Now he faces Frank Sanchez – a faster, sharper technician who poses a far tougher stylistic puzzle.
Frank Sanchez is a proper old school boxer that can box on his day but can punch also, a potent mix.
He exposed Richard Torrez for the declining promoter Bob Arum hype job that he had been in the US.
The Cuban is being talked about boxing Croatian Hrgovic next that beat former UK prospect Moses Itauma on Saturday night.
But if he is on form, the Cuban should beat him handily enough;
- Superior hand speed that Hrgovic cannot match
- Sharper reflexes against a naturally slower opponent
- His style is a proven nightmare for Hrgovic’s pressure game
- Hrgovic is very hittable and took heavy punishment against Itauma
- Carries heavier power than Itauma while matching his speed
- Veteran ring IQ to read and counter predictable attacks
- Doesn’t gas out chasing early knockouts
- Hrgovic is already looking past him to bigger names
- Fighting behind a jab that neutralizes aggressive fighters
- Peaking at the perfect time with devastating momentum
Frank Sanchez is a man tough to beat if on form but his motivation can go at times also, that is the thing.
Hrgovic could beat him at the same time also if he catches Sanchez in one of those training camps that he is not taking boxing seriously.
That said, easy victory for Sanchez if even a bit focused on boxing.
