To be honest it was a real torture to watch, these 2 were supposed to be top ten heavyweight contenders and I was dissapointed with their performance. It was a fight full of love where the two boxers were not shy to show it either, with over 20 hugs per round they trully showed their affection. After all the love Hrgovic got tired of the hugs and kisses and on the the last minute of the 12th and final round he dazed Mckeen with 3 hard rabbit punches that put an end to the fight. To be honest with you all im not impressed with Hrgovic, they made him look like a boogie man and in reality he looked like a care bear with all the hugging and rabbit punches.
