    Zhang would have won easily if he had a better gas tank, he faded badly in the second half.

    7-5 for Zhang+the knockdown.6 rounds is the maximum for Hgrovic, but with the knockdown Zhang should be the winner

    That’s the second wrong decision of the night so far,Usyk has to stop Joshua and take the result out of the judges hands. Nobody will be avoiding Hgrovic after that performance and lucky win .

    Good fight, lots of contact, scores a little too close imo.

    Quit being so jittery and have faith in your fighter. Can't get robbed if you stop the other guy.


    With that, I'm strapping in for the big one. See you guys when the smoke clears.

    All these fights have told me is that Usyk needs to basically obliterate Joshua to win a decision

    Zhang loses but his stock goes up for me. Very tough man.

    Yeah, I've never had much faith in Filip, even though I did a thread on him, I was never big time on his bandwagon. Some of that had to do with him being in against a southpaw, which he's always struggled against, but still.... Zhang is pretty bang on average, and by all rights he should've stopped him. His power clearly isn't all that devastating, and his chin while decent, the fact that he shuts off after eating a heavy blow, would make him a sitting duck for a better HW.

    Boxing is scored round by round. Hrgovic was showing his back to Zhang almost all of the fight, shouldn't they not like that either?

    Hrgovic is such a hype job. He is going to get killed by a guy with a decent condition.

    Right result. Last 2 rounds won the fight. Zhang had nothing left but did enough to keep his pride. Great scrap.

    At their own peril. Hrgovic is better than what he showed tonight.
