Zhāng Zhìlěi vs. Deontay Leshun Wilder & Daniel Raphael Dubois vs. Filip Hrgović - Round by Round.

Dubois may have quit against Usyk Vs a jab and quit Vs Joyce. But both Usyk and Joyce are better fighters than Hrgovic.

Dubois actually looked quite good against Usyk, despite getting out pointed I thought he looked the best he has been, light on his feet, good punch variation. Much less robotic than Hrgovic.

Hrgovic does not have the same pressure Joyce does nor the jab, which enabled Joyce to beat Dubois. Dubois was landing big shots on Joyce people like to forget, shots that would hurt many other HWs.

Against Miller, Dubois struggled to KO him earlier as he was fighting a big ball of fat with slippery lard infested neck protection. He still pulled it off later, hence, Dubois power is still there in the later rounds and is able to chin durable opponents, like Hrgovic.

Hrgovic turned his back and looked like he needed a cry every time Zhang landed on him. The rounds Hrgovic won were more based on Zhang’s lack of activity due to his notoriously bad Chinese gas engine.

Hrgovics head was also a magnetic for right hands against shot professional crybaby Molina.

Dubois late KO

 

Joyce is not better than Hrgovic

 

Yes he is

 

Hrg? Chief support I assume.

 

Easy fix. Tell her that you decided to watch the fights and will order some a pizza instead. Don't be afraid to be a man, it feels good, I promise.

 

What do you base that on though ? they have 1 common opponent and Hrgovic took Zhang's best and rallied late on to win a close decision. Where as Joyce on the other hand got dismantled by Zhang twice.

You have to take into account Hrgovic for awhile wasn't in the best place mentality he lost his dad and was going through the motions, he seems to be in a better place now and we'll now see if he is actually the real deal.

 

When’s the first fight, waiting patiently

 

Letsss gooooo!

 

Been waiting all day for this, if anyone here uses Eyeonthering to score the fights is it still down for you guys. It's been over a week now.

 

Lets go Lou!

 

Seeing as how the poster shows the two egomaniacs instead of the fighters. This RBR should have been called Edward John Hearn. vs Frank Warren.

 

Man I’m pumped for this card even without the original main event it’s still a very solid card and even better it comes on in the afternoon in the States. Perfect Saturday for boxing.

 

My predictions:

Wilder-Zhang, Wilder by KO. I feel this fight will resemble the two Ortiz fights; Wilder will circle the ring early doors, avoiding Zhang's power albeit shipping rounds. However later on when Zhang tires, Wilder will land one of his explosive right hands to end the fight.

Hrgovic-Dubois, Hrgovic by KO. I see Dubois starting better, banking the early rounds and possibly knocking Hrgovic down. However as the fight wears on and Dubois begins to tire, Dubois will increasingly struggle to close the range and Hrgovic will pepper him with jabs and right hands, ultimately leading to a TKO.

Sheeraz-Williams, Sheeraz by KO. I'm not high on either, but even less so on Williams. Sheeraz, for all his deficiencies, has fight ending power at the weight IMO. He will simply walk Williams down in my view.

Ball-Ford, Ball by decision. Early doors Ball will struggle with Ford's dimensions, but ultimately I think his pressure will pay toll and he will claim a decision or possibly a late KO.

Richards-Hutchinson, Richards by KO. Richards is a legitimate operator with good power; given Hutchinson's chin didn't hold up to Lennox Clarke, I don't give him much hope against Craig Richards.
