    If they were to rematch, who do you think wins?

    I'd say Zhang. Full of confidence after the two wins over Joyce, I see his power being too much for Hrgovic. He would have done better in their fight had he not got so exhausted.

    I think that Hrgovic will win he will be more cautious also I think Zhang has peaked the Joyce fights were his peak the guy is 40 I don’t think he has many more great performances left. I would still love to see the rematch.

    Zhang's age makes me say Hrgovic.

    Like last time Hrgovic but slightly wider.

    Zhang is always dangerous but lacks 12th round stamina, and Hrgovic is tough but will be cautious again, but know he can do more in the later rounds.

    Just so.
    In my people it would be said: "time works for Hrgović".
    Hrgovic has a better chin than Joyce (maybe even better than Zhang), and I don't think Zhang's stamina will be better than in their first fight. There it was seen that Zhang was "lacking air" (especially in the 12th round).

    Hrgovic wins again. Zhang can’t stop him, Hrgovic has an iron jaw and Zhang will fade like in the first fight.

    Hrgovic UD. He’ll have learned a few things from their first encounter and Zhang will have just gotten older, slower and have worse stamina. HWs aren’t meant to box past the age of 40.

    I think it will be similiar to the first fight. With a decision that will swing Hrgovics way as he is younger, unbeaten with more marketing potential.

    I thought Hrgovic won the first fight but it was close enough that I wouldn't put money on the winner in the rematch. So not sure, for me it's a genuine 50/50 fight.

    This are chinese higlights of every punch

    Look how active Hrgovic was and was in control, very different from DAZN highlights, paints a whole different picture. That is why Zhang refused a rematch.

    Zhang cant adapt, he is Juggernaut killer he is made to kill opponents that want to dominate and lead fights, all Hrgovic has to do now is not overcommit, let him tire, and box tecnically to win a decision.

    Zhang has no chance, thus never accepting the rematch after Hrgovic call out.
