    Filip wasn't the better fighter tonight but I don't see this as a robbery.

    Not quite, Vitali would've never even gotten rocked. Filip looked out on his feet at least 4 or 5 times.

    Maybe, Zhang is what he is. It was a great scrap though.

    Hrgovic is a good fighter, but not a smart boxer. He took unnecessary shots he didn't need to take.

    How "big" is the crowd? Looks like no more than 10 000 something?!

    Yeah. We saw two undefeated heavyweights with real amateur pedigree that have avoided by much of the division - and people are still managing to find a way to denegrate both. I don't think it's a question that Hrgovic has regressed and/or developed some very bad habits, but this was still far better than what we're accustomed to seeing in the division these days . Both men receive a round of applause for their efforts tonight.

    The commentary was extremely biased and one favored. It was a competitive fight out but they were making it seem like it was one-sided. That is what is confusing people who are thinking Zhang won
