    Zhang wins and his first flurry will probably put wilder down and then Zhang will put wilder out. I think under 3 rounds.

    Not free. They both got fight with top 10 on Saudis event. Wilder loss, Anthony win in great fashion.

    If Wilder talk less and not only waiting but actually fighting he would have also more option. But when You wait almost 2 years without nothing its Your problem.

    Wallin doesn't count for me tbh. No good wins and robbed a journeyman.

    The Saudi“s really are the best thing to happen to modern Heavyweight boxing.
    I am genuinely excited for the division, which is a first since Wlad was still active. Klitschko vs Haye was a huge in Europe, as were many other Klitschko fights.

    Yeah, lots of rumours that Parker will fight Joyce instead. Personally I don't like that fight style-wise for him, Joyce might have declined enough but it's very risky to assume so.

    Zhang should be the favourite here, he has a great chin and the better technique.

    But, he is quite slow and Wilder does have enormous power, so anything is possible.

    A rare piece of very good match making. Nothing not to like about this one.

    I am picking Zhang by KO, but it isn't inconceivable to me that Wilder will just patiently circle him for six to eight rounds before trying to pick him off when he inevitably tires.

    Good fight, hard to pick a winner but based on their last performance you have to favour Zhang by KO.

    On form, Zhang. But if Wilder turns up for war - and he needs to because a loss and he is out of the mix - this could go either way.

    If Wilder can not land a bomb on Zhang then he truly is finished,still Wilder needs to be in the zone with his menace and presence otherwise it will be a hard night for him .

    Wilder has lost alot, he's probably only got a few fights left that he probably shouldn't even take. That said Zhang is slow enough he may be able to stay out of harms way long enough to land a sleeping pill. If Zhang hits him, he kills him.
