    Can't say I'm looking forward to a rematch. But you can't ever right Zhang off with his stupid power. Wilder used to load up massively to generate his power but even innocuous shots from Zhang have KO power, he has the heaviest hands at heavyweight by far.

    Zhang is this era's Sanders, lethal counter punching southpaw who often shows up out of shape. Joyce was his Wlad and that might very well be the highlight of his career.

    Your're ignorant when it comes to boxing. Parker won this going away. Giving Zhang four rounds would be a push.

    Given Zhang will be even older, and Parker knows he can handle Zhang's power, seems like a decent fight while he waits for the big boys to settle the belt situation. I mean, it's not a decent fight for the fans, but it's decent for Parker.

    AJ should score a HL reel KO here as Ngannou is wide open for full power bombs and he's going to be taking the full weight of them flush. Ngannou not having the element of surprise anymore is a huge factor here but he's obviously a massive man and he can crack extremely hard so if he catches AJ clean with a bomb he can pull off the upset. Let's not forget that little Usyk hurt AJ. But on paper it's a mismatch

    Parker not even bothered about fighting him again. Joe has the heart of a lion

    Great win for Parker. Zhang knows how to get the punches home when he’s actually throwing but I suspect the Joyce fights gave him a false sense of confidence because Joyce is that much more hittable than Parker.

    Parker still had to show some heart and durability in this one - and he showed plenty in those regards - in his last two fights he’s gotten past two elite punchers. Not bad going at all.
