Heavyweight Filip Hrgovic (19-1, 14 COs) says he had to do David Adelye (14-2, 13 COs) in the “Crazy” The eighth round after dropping him with a right hand on Saturday night in the Anb Arena in Riyadh.
Adeleye’s ‘crazy’ eighth round
Hrgovic was injured in the round and almost dropped by nobility after eating a barrage of eight punch with heavy blows. However, he could clinch to escape the round and win a unanimous 10 round decision. The scores were 99-91, 99-90 and 99-90.
Philip, 33, admitted to being “a little too relaxed” and was caught by a large punch from nobility. He accepted that the British fighter was nobility at his grace, and that he did not realize that he was still in his full faculties and dangerous.
After the eighth round, Hrgovic resumed and dominated nobility and occasionally avoided his wildly thrown homerun.
Adelye took a lot of punishment, the type that could withstand few heavyweights in the division without being knocked out. It was not arms of HRGOVIC, as some fans wrongly believed. You could hear the impact, and they looked just as powerful as those who ended up in the main event on Dillian Whyte. Hrgovic really sat down on his shots and connected all night, but nobility showed a sticky beard.
“I knocked him down, and I should have finished him. I was a little too relaxed, and then he caught me with some good shots and almost hit me. Yes I think it was a crazy round, ‘Filip Hrgovic said QueensberryTalk about the eighth round of his fight against David Adelye tonight. “I’m sorry I didn’t complete him.”
Adelye played Possum with Hrgovic and hit him in the eighth round when he thought he was ready to strike. The crowd woke Adelye’s competitive spirit with their cheer and responded by loosening a storm of shots that Hrgovic could take in some way. The bumps he ate in that order were furious.
Hrgovic’s cry for Moses Itauma
“Of course he is a young emerging future superstar and I am the most difficult mother in the division,” Hrgovic said when asked if he wanted to fight against Moses Itauma. “It would be a good test for him to see if he was the right thing. Is he a new Mike Tyson, or am I a new George foreman? I would like to fight against him, but it depends on Frank (Warren). How much is he going to pay? ‘
Hrgovic would have been a much better step tonight for Moses Itauma than Dillian Whyte. If Queensberry wants Itauma to be tested, it would be better to fit him against HRGOVIC than to throw him in his next fight with undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr uksyk.
