    Both looked great. Sad Zhang is too old.

    The anti-Hrgovic bandwagon is the winner. Before he had this weird year I thought he was the inevitable champ after Fury and Wilder and Usyk were too old.

    It's a poor performance by Hrgovic, but I have him winning a close fight.

    Hrgovic did better throughout the fight while Zhang has better moments hurting Hrgovic. You can make a case for Zhang winning 6 rounds, but you can make a case for Hrgovic winning more than 6 rounds.

    It's a close fight, not a robbery.

    You guys do realize that Zhang is a 277lb giant, was much heavier than Hrgovic, and he hits ridiculously hard, right? Some of those shots, many of them in fact, would've sparked most HWs. That southpaw backhand Hrgovic ate at one point would've sparked out an elephant. Very few HWs hit like Zhang

    The man is an Olympian who was stopped only by the great Cammarelle. Don't forget AJ was gifted the decision vs Cammarelle too.

    Good fight but modern day classic? No, commentators getting carried away.

    Not what I saw. I saw Hrgovic pull out a win due to Zhang having one of the worst stamina for a heavyweight. Hrgovic himself is slow and easy to counter. Zhang was able to do it. Zhang had no energy to put more than two rnds together. If he was this would have been a KO win for him.

    Damn, that was poor from Hrgovic, but he has a Vitali chin for sure

    Google says the current temperature in Jeddah in 90F. That's absolutely ridiculous. If I'm a boxer, I would never want to fight outdoors. There is far too much uncertainty, and overcoming an opponent as well as the elements is just a ridiculous ask.
