Who will you be rooting for: Deontay Wilder or Zhilei Zhang?

Why? Lol

 

Lol, I just don't like him, never have. Asian slickness will be on full display for 2 rounds, Zhang will deposit Wilder in the bleachers in the 3rd (I hope.)

 

I think Wilder has still enough left to win this fight. Zhang didn't throw any punches at the end of his last fight. Wilder's chin is also not that bad, I don't think Zhang knocks him out early.

" At the end of the day, nobody wants to see a 12 round fight when it comes to the heavyweights. They wanna see someone get knocked out"

Yet Wilder pretty much threw nothing for the first 8 and a half rounds last time out....


And even after that I don't recall any serious urgency from him to try and win a fight in the style he's talking.

 

Zhang would be great! Wouldnt mind the Bronze Bomber having a renaissance tough. He was entertaining outside the ring as well; before he lost his mind after Fury 2. He would still make for some fun matchups.

 

Wouldn't mind seeing Wilder slept. I know Fury did it but that was after a lot of punishment.

 

I'm in the minority here, but I have always liked Wilder. Big punchers are exciting and he's top of the list when it comes to bringing that. He's shown a lot of heart too, even in his losses to Fury. More upside to a Wilder win as far as being a fan goes for me.

 

Don’t really care who wins honestly. I think Zhang is going to crush Wilder.

 

I'm rooting for Zhang, but I think Wilder will win.

 

I've been a Zhang fan of years, I'm so happy for him that he's finally been getting all these big fights now.

Hrgovic - Joyce - Joyce II - Parker - Wilder

That's a monster 5 fight run, as good as anyone in the sport, and even his "losses" were super competitive

I predict Zhang scores his biggest win yet and finishes off what's left of Wilder

 

I could never come to terms with Wilder or like him. Yes, there were two moments when I started to feel more respect and sympathy for him, but he quickly ruined it with his behavior. For me, he is a perfect example of a player who is impossible to like. He avoided challenges, was protected by a protective umbrella, did not respect other boxers, committed fouls in fights and complained immediately when others did the same to him. My antipathy reached its maximum level in 2 moments. The first one was when he came up with an idea to promote himself with texts about wanting to have a dead body in the record and other such **** (he also wants to see Zhang in convulsions, so it's still in his head), and the second one is when, after his failure, he decided to destroy one of the creators of his success by accusing him of the most nasty and ridiculous things (Mark Breland) For me, he is a guy without honor, and in private he seems to be a typical guy who has lost his mind over money.

 

I wont pick a winner I just hope its a good fight with the legitimate better man on the night getting the win he deserves. That's the way i like to watch every fight. Its a shame the corruption in the sport stops that from happening all the time

 

I just voted Neither, I just want to see a good fight but a close 2nd would be Zhilei Zhang.

Why? Because Wilder is a delusional jackass and a poor sportsman. Zhang has to speak through an interpreter - and is still tight lipped - so I don't know much about him other than his record & recent bouts. Have to admit, it's probably better for the HW div. if Wilder wins.

A bit interesting is at this moment the poll is 2.3:1 for Zhang, while in the who wins it poll in another thread it's about 2.2:1 Zhang.
