    Zhang did do things, he just didn't do anything for 75-80% of the fight and that's why he lost. I think he would have won had he come in 20-25 lbs lighter.

    There were people who thought Zhang would beat Joshua.

    Joshua would stop Zhang.

    Well done, mate .

    More-so if it was actually needed, rather than just a healthy life choice decision, which is still very much a plus.

    Put a moustache on David Higgins and he looks like one of those perverts you see hiding in the bushes

    Saudis don't know how to run a boxing show. This event should've wrapped up 2 hours ago.

    I thought Zhang would win but Parker deserves a lot of credit, the way he shook off those knockdowns and came right back was impressive.
    I expected him to falter once Zhang catches him and follows up.

    I know but on his current run he’s next in line, he’s worked so hard to get back to being relevant and in contention and he’s going to slow his roll and lose momentum.
    Makes no sense at all to me

    Because he was gassed out, and Parker's feints, head and upper body movement, control of range, was giving him a damned near impossible target to land on flush, and when you throw and miss punches, it gasses you out even more, which would leave him vulnerable to getting KTFO himself.

    He did not. A couple of devastating feints though.

    Not really. They wanted the fight. If he hadn’t agreed to it they would have moved onto another opponent.
