    But I think the Stoneman Filip Hrgovic will pick the Chinese man apart, rendering him useless by the 5th round and stop him by 8-9.

    He's far from a bum. He has excellent boxing skills, as we saw in the Olympics.

    He's well-prepared, and as fit as he can be for this fight. However, he is getting old at 39 and may become fatigued if it goes into the later rounds. But he'll be very dangerous on rounds 1 to 6.

    I'm sick of the Zhang slander, he's a quality operator but just a bit too old is all. Zhang from a few years ago is a dangerous prospect for pretty much anyone with his level of power and atypical southpaw stance.

    I like Zhang, and hope he finds some sort of magic to pull it out. Most likely Hrgovic wins, but I am rooting for Zhang.

    I favour Hrgovic to win via stoppage but if his defence is sloppy in this one he could come unstuck because Zhang is a giant of a man and his power is devastating

    Good match up, but for some reason I see Zhang getting the win by KO, despite his stamina issues

    He is good to watch, but the stamina seems awful. He only has a puncher’s chance. Hrgovic will know that.

    I agree. Zhang is insanely skilled and powerful. Combine it with Hrgovic's suspect chin, and it will be night night for Hrgovic.

    Zhang's head is massive i don't see any other result other than a Hrgovic KO. I have never been sold on any Chinese fighter I feel they are forced to fight, not doing it by choice I don't know why.

    I have money on Zhang by KO. Hrgovic as the younger, fresher man is deservedly the favourite, but don't be shocked to see Zhang pull off the upset.

    I think he said both his parents died in the last 2 years. Shades of Tyson-Douglas?

    No doubt Hrgovic will win this easily and as always been hyped up to be the next big thing but when he going fight an actual live opponent.
