Corrie Sanders vs Zhilei Zhang

I think Wilder would probably outlast him and take over in the second half. Maybe a 34 year old Zhang with a gas tank existed while feasting on bums, but I never witnessed it.

 

Yeah, what does his manager know?

“He was exhausted. He was tired.” — post Vitali

He gassed vs Rahman too.

Show me a fight where he closed strong against a decent fighter.

He loathed training and loved golf. He had no real power after the first three rounds (hence no late stoppages of any decent opponent). He also was packing glass — every loss by KO.

Corrie could go 18 holes but not 10 rounds against a decent opponent. At least not hard.

Oh, you want to bring in journeymen now. How hard did Ross make him look? Why did he fade against better opposition?

 

Against which better opposition?

Rahman? Sanders had a ****ed knee and did no roadwork.

Vitali? Vitali would turn the entire division (with the possible exception of Usyk) inside out.

Meanwhile Zhang gasses virtually every fight past the 3-4th round.

 

Oh, now Corrie gets an asterisk for not being in shape rather than just admit his stamina was below par.

Zhang absolutely tires but he keeps fighting and closes stronger than Corrie, who against top opposition always seemed to fade. Zhang looking tired is not the same as Sanders gassing and getting KO’d.

Corrie either got you early if you were a good fighter (which really amounts to one fight, vs Wlad … Sanders was a one-hit wonder) or you got him — early or late. Vitali being good isn’t an excuse for Corrie not having stamina.

 

It is totally false that Sanders did get tired against Rahman, did you see the fight?
Sanders was for the knockout and in a counter Rahman left him dizzy, and then knocked him, Sanders was winning this fight.

 

I just showed you that his stamina was just fine. Here it is again:

Zhang looks like a beached whale trying to breathe

Zhang gasses every fight he doesn't ko the other guy early. It's his defining characteristic, and not even against H2H monsters like Vitali either.

 

I wouldn’t be shocked if Purrity outlasted and beat Zhang tbh.

 

I'd side with the guy who's shown the stronger chin. Sanders has the speed but Bang has a bit of dimension on him and he is one dangerous counter puncher of late. I wouldn't put big money on it but his durability sways me.
