    291 lbs is mammoth, Zhang obviously backing himself for an early to mid round KO. At least that’s a target for Parker to pointedly survive until - Big Bang will surely begin to slow up fast carrying that type of tonnage.

    I like that Vargas actually has a solid offensive going, not just a boring jab and move.

    It looked like it for a second, but he adapted and now is clearly in control of the pace.
    He clearly does not like the pressure, yet is handling it perfectly.

    Round 5
    Vargas 10-9
    Vargas 50-46

    What happened with Vargas' power? Dude used to have solid power, but now he hasn't scored a stoppage since late 2016. :confused:

    Ball reaching too much, too upright trying to make his way closer. Would be better served getting lower behind double and triple jabs to the chest and stomach.

    The optics of a guy being this much bigger than his opponent is funny.

    Vargas just throws himself to the floor to get out of trouble

    Weirdly fascinating this fight. Anytime the taller guy lands the bigger body shots though, nay chance.

    Vargas bluffing there, calling Ball in. He didn't like it.

    Ball needs to stick to Vargas like glue

    6 - 0 Vargas
    Been impressed with Ball in the past but he is looking very limited here
