Zhang vs Joshua who wins?

aj needs a psychologist...or a dad. but he has everything to beat zhang, if he can get it together.

 

I went with Joshua by decision and if I’m wrong I’m wrong

 

Joshua by decision or knockout. He's got Zhang's number, and always will.

 

I think if Zhang comes out smoking like last night, he'll blow this gun-shy version of Joshua out early

 

The Joshua who beat Franklin gets knocked out by Big Bang Zhang.

 

Styles make fights and while Joshua isn't the best mover he does move enough that I think he could give the relatively stationary Zhang problems and little opportunity to land his counters. He's going to find it much harder to find Joshua's chin than Hrgovic and Joyce.

But obviously it's a dangerous fight, I could very well see Zhang KOing Joshua but as long as Joshua can perform like in the Ruiz rematch he should win a decision.

 

Everyone is guessing. 2/3 of the forum ridiculed anyone favoring Zhang up until the fight.

 

Zhang Zhilei is much better than Joshua has ever been and Joshua's punching power is overrated which is a big problem here.

 

I think any result is possible and it could well come down to who the judges are and the accuracy of their scoring.

 

You clearly didn't see their fight in 2012 when Joshua dropped him and won a decision. Maybe now Zhang can beat him but there was definitely a time when Joshua was much better and had the power to hurt him.

 

I'm referring to this version of Zhang Zhilei obviously. He's better than Joshua's ever been. By quite some ways

 

KO for Zhang. I think that Zhang can endure anything that Joshua can throw at him. I do not see Joshua taking Zhangs powershots. Joshua can only win on points and is a decent mover but not decent enough to fight 12 whole rounds and the backfoot against Zhang without getting clipped

 

Nonsense. The AJ that beat Wlad is far better overall than Zhang has ever been.

 

Nobody on this board has any idea I promise you
