    I found a lot of those rounds hard to score, but my scorecard reads 116-110. Just don't think Zhang did enough in any of the non-knockdown rounds to win them. Parker fought a patient fight and weathered his KDs well. Zhang just doesn't seem to have faith in his stamina to really press the point after he lands. A bit disappointing from him.

    Like a lot of pure counter punchers, Zhang needs his opponent to be aggressive to allow him to shine and Parker fought a very conservative and tactical fight which was the perfect plan. I wasn't sure his corner would know how to put a game plan together to win it, but they showed they had figured out Zhang.

    How can Zhang complain when he threw barely any punches

    Zhang needs to be trained by Foreman.
