    It's not surprising that not one of the winning heavyweights on last nights card mentioned Zhilei Zhang.

    Hrgovic will keep fighting the Mark de Mori's of the world to protect his mandatory position and after last nights performances, Hearn and AJ will probably now sign the contract to fight Wilder, whom along with Dubois was the only one involved in a competitive fight,

    Parker did perform well though, but he's already been beaten by AJ, Whyte and Joyce, so it wouldn't surprise me if he isn't the one whom is eventually fed to Zhang, to build up a potential AJ fight for the winner, which will obviously only occur if Zhilei losses.

    Anyone fancy Parker to beat Zhang? Would be an interesting fight. Parker has lots of toughness.

    YES MATE. Add Santa to that list and you are watching a series on tele, not a season.

    I think Parker is wrong stylistically to zhang and will stop Zhang late when he gasses.

    Let's not forget Zhang drew against Forrest had that fight been 12 rounds instead 10. Forrest would have stopped him.

    Get the feeling you're right. Matchroom will build up this parallel universe where AJ is on a monster undefeated streak and beating the ghost of Wilder will certainly fit into that; last night vs Parker will be truly forgotten.

    Thing is, surely Wilder doesn't come into an AJ fight as under-prepared as he was last night?

    Was that before Ruiz took his soul ?
    It's ok letting your hands go against Walin who has no firepower.
    But will we see 'the old' AJ against someone who can hit much harder than him?

    Not an elite trait in any of them with the exception of power in Wilder.

    A very poor era.

    This era compared to the Lewis era is like comparing England's Premier League with the Scottish Highland League.

    Yes the Lewis 90s/ early 00s era is much better than this era. However this era is the best since, and is certainly better than the Tyson prime 8os era that overrated.

    Is that the fight where Zhang was literally dying of kidney failure in the ring?
