    Zhang does look like he just trained on power punches. Dude needs to seriously work on stamina.

    Boring clinch-fest between two exhausted guys who aren't going anywhere. If not for 3 knockdowns this would be a nothing burger.

    Age has caught up with Zhang.

    He should have turned pro back in 2008 after winning his Olympic medal.

    Hearn's fighters have been taking a beating lately.

    Forrest showed some heart...if he was not having to hold Zhang up in clinches he would have had a little more in the tank to stop Zhang

    All comes down to how you score the 4th round. Zhang isn't terrible for being 108 years old, but he shouldn't be anywhere near a title discussion

    So Covid was just a problem as long as the President had a name that started with T? As soon as he went out Covid disappeared. SO LUCKY! Tremendous work by Joey.

    This fight wasn't boring. Three knock down and the last rnd we almost had a stoppage. It wasn't any barn burner of a fight but also far far from boring. You want boring? Go watch the Parker/Fa fight. That will put you to sleep.

    Zhang is the Chinese David Price.

    I think Zhang won round 4 clear to me by clocking in the best shots of the round.. so a draw is a fair result based on mathematic

    Good fight. Zhang looked decent early and seemed to hurt Forrest everytime he caught him clean but he blew his wad by the halfway point and Forrest was very game and kept plugging away. Even in the rounds where he got dropped he kept plugging away and sapping Zhang's energy reserves.
