    Disagree with this.

    Although I had Parker beating Ruiz 7 rounds to 5. I thought the rounds were clear cut to judge, especially compared to Hrgovic and Zhang which had a lot very close rounds to judge.

    Strongly disagree, both were very competitive and close. I thought Parker won by a round while Hrgovic lost by one and was very lucky to get a UD.

    Zhang punch even harder than Filip and also got granite chin + size but Zhilei is lazy in the ring. He is not so active and dont throw soo many punches like Filip. That's better for Parker because if he move a lot he can try build point advantage.
    I dont see Parker outboxing Hrgovic who can throw 700 punches and more.
    Zhang got suspected stamina so that's good point for Parker.

    But still big puncher with iron chin. This 2 fight dangerous. One little less.

    Wilder is a very poor boxer. If he doesnt win on KO he is trash.

    Hrgovic had the rounds in his pocket just watch the highlights for yourself:

    Both were close, but i'm certain Zhang was robbed that night. Zhang landed the clean and hard punches, and had Hrgovic in trouble multiple times. His punches also obviously have impact on Hrgovic, while most of Hrgovic higher output landed on Zhang gloves or didn't bother Zhang at all.
    It's one thing when you have a contest where Fighter A clearly outjab and outwork his opponent, and the Fighter B just occasionally land heavy shots, but gets outlanded completely, like Canelo vs GGG and maybe even Canelo vs Bivol(although that was straight up domination, but just for example).

    Well he's beaten almost all of his opponents by KO, and managed to floor the arguably number 1/2 of the division 5 times. His technique might be poor, but that doesn't detract the obvious equaliser he has. I doubt Hrgovic, Joyce or even Zhang could do what Parker did against Wilder.

    Yes Kiwi

    Because it requires explosive SPEED to do what Parker did

    Hrgovic would beat Parker on points
