For the second time this year, the Croatian gets the better of his British opponent. The judges had it: 98-91, 99-90 and 99-90. Pretty comprehensive.
Earlier, Ray Ford dominated his super featherweight fight defeating Abraham Nova on points.
Then, a huge opportunity tonight for David Adeleye against heavyweight top 10 contender Filip Hrgovic. Londoner Adeleye, with
Nigerian heritage, needed to use his physicality, muscularity and power against the formidable Croatian.
Hrgovic had been training up in Big Bear California, under esteemed trainer Abel Sanchez, erstwhile coach of the great Gennady Golovkin, and came in lighter than usual at 241lbs, a pound more than the British heavyweight.
