Filip Hrgovic asserts his heavyweight title ambitions with a dominant third-round TKO over Dave Allen. This decisive victory positions Hrgovic for a potential clash against rising star Moses Itauma, scheduled for August 8 in London.
Hrgovic, now 20-1 with 15 KOs, starts fast, overwhelming Allen from the first bell at Eco-Power Stadium in Doncaster, England. Despite Allen's recent form, including a TKO victory over Johnny Fisher, he struggles to cope with Hrgovic's relentless offense. By Round 3, the Croatian's powerful jabs and clean right hands leave Allen trapped on the ropes, prompting his trainer, Jamie Moore, to throw in the towel at 2:37.
Standing at six-foot-six, Hrgovic showcases his skill and strategy, controlling the fight and landing a barrage of unanswered punches. After the bout, Hrgovic expresses his desire to face anyone in the division, including Itauma, while acknowledging the significance of his performance.
Allen, with a record of 25-9-2, admits, "Filip Hrgovic was too good for me," reflecting on his experience in the ring. The fight not only highlights Hrgovic's potential but also raises questions about the future of the heavyweight division.
