Parker won. Is Zhang joining the "shot" pile?

I think he can redeem himself if he KOs Parker in the rematch big.

Maybe come in 270 and train next time

 

It's over for Zhang, Parker deservedly won by winning most of the rounds, there is no excuse for Zhang's defeat, Parker simply tired him out and tactically boxed brilliantly.

 

If zhang was lighter he wins.

 

Outside of losing 20 lbs, there is no other way he can improve. He's getting old.

We'll see what Zhang does in the rematch. He need to lay off the buffet and go for daily runs.

 

No excuses from me, I'm a huge Zhang fan and backed him heavily to win this one, but Parker fought a very good gameplan and won fair and square. Zhang's suspect gas tank let him down, if he had pressed after his 3rd round KD he would have had a better chance.

Congrats Joe Parker, beating someone as dangerous as Zhang puts him straight back into title contention, I would say top 5 right now.

 

Already seen one person call Zhang old and over the hill. Amazing how fighters suddenly become shot when they sign to fight Parker lol.

 

Just No.

 

His hand speed looked slower and his footwork is poor. Parker will win the rematch comfortably.

 

Nothing to do with being shot, just down to what I felt, along with many others on here, was that Parker was a bad style for Zhang and had improved significantly over the past few months. He’s an excellent heavyweight and deserves his credit. Parker with Lee in his corner is a seriously awkward and tough customer and he was always going to be a tough fight for Zhang.

That being said Zhilei dropped him twice, he wasn’t crushed, he was in that fight. He can compete at the top level.

 

Zhang relies on plodding at his own pace. He loses the 2nd time more convincingly and doesn't get any knockdowns on Parker. He was tired at round 8-9.

 

Let’s be clear. Parker made Zhang and Wilder look so bad that people think they are both shot. Zhang could not cope with Parker’s feints

 

Just interested in the shot list as it stands?

Wilder
Ruiz
Whyte
Ortiz

Fury?

 

Zhang vs Ngannou anyone?

 

He’s just not that good.
