    Zhan's mentally weak. He was a hard fighter to gauge. I wasn't impressed with him upon first viewing but I thought to myself he had to be one of those fighters who must be deceptively good and better than he looks on tape. Alas not but I still wasn't expecting him to be that mentally weak. And Ajagba looked poor last time out against Shaw who isn't very good. He didn't really impress here either, Zhan just has no heart.

    All of you comparing the pouty diva Zhan to the great Andrew Golota: the Foul Pole actually went to an absolute war with Riddick Bowe, ruining him in the process, and the combination to the jewels he conjured was a thing of beatuy--an unabashed, unashamed expression of the desire to end the Bowe family line. It also sparked one of the greatest post-fight riots in the history of boxing.

    Zhan ain't that.

    I don't get why he did that. It's not like he was being completely outclassed, he was getting in good punches, looked like he could take hos power okay and it was still early in the fight. Was he doing it because he was angry about the perceived low blows? Folded from the pressure of being on the big stage?

    Here I was, on the Efewagon, all by my lonesome, never abandoned ship. Standing my ground and it paid off with Shaw and now with this grim ball bashing fart knocker.:D

    Nothing like a disgraceful DQ loss in your biggest fight to do that.

    Rudenko I don’t think is better than Koss. He used to be exceptionally durable but his durability seem to shatter a couple fights ago. He’s taken so many punches. He’s got no change to win here. Just a matter of how many rounds it goes. He’s gonna get his a$$ kicked.

    There was a thread recently trying to come up with a nickname for Zhan, I think we have one

    "The Low Blow Khan" Zhan

    Gotta admit, I wasn't expecting this. Very disappointed in what I saw.

    You think Ajagba vs. Anderson would be a good fight? I imagine the Kossobutskiy-Anderson ship has sailed.
