Sauerland promoted Croatia heavyweight Filip Hrgovic 8-0 (6 Ko’s) demolished the hapless Gregory Corbin 15-2 (9 Ko’s) last night on the Oxon Hill Card, scoring two knockdowns en route to a first round TKO, retaining his WBC International title. Hrgovic landed a stiff right hand early that appeared to bother Corbin, the Texan maintained his composure but moments later walked into the same shot, this time falling to the canvas heavily.. Corbin scuffled to his feet but barely beat referee Brent Bovell’s count and was in bad shape, prompting the halt.. The tall mechanical Hrgovic remains unbeaten and looks a real handful in a lively division, he puts his shots together well and isn’t afraid to take a few chances.. Corbin has no business in this bout, having suffered his first loss in his previous fight against Charles Martin.. Greg would have benefitted from a couple of tune ups before being thrown in at this level.. Gregory unfortunately became a victim of brave management..
On the same show, Las Vegas Heavyweight Michael Hunter 17-1 (11 Ko’s) barely moved out of first gear in scoring a 2nd round TKO over the overmatched Brazilian Fabio Maldonado 26-3 (25 Ko’s) retaining his WBA international title.. Hunter poked for openings, before crashing home a heavy right hand leaving Maldonado completely disorganised.. Hunter kept his foot on the gas, scoring two untidy knockdowns before Harvey Dock called a halt at 1.45 of the 2nd round.. The stoppage was the first of the usually resilient Maldonado’s career, Michael showed impressive focus considering the drop in class of opposition and hopes to appear in better company as soon as July.. Hunter called out Dillian Whytes name following the victory, respectfully suggesting that he wants to fight the best, and he considers Dillian as the best outside of the title holders..
