    Honestly, I thought the referee would raise Zhang's hand, I was surprised when Hrgovic won, I was expecting a draw or Zhang's victory...

    Boring thread.
    Again and again.
    If You outlanded opponents in 9 of 12 rounds You are the winner. That's how You score the fights in boxing.

    Also if You throw 300 punches more You were busier boxer.

    Zhang just make better impresion because he wobbled Hrgovic 2-3 times and his shots was more "spectacular" but that not how You score fights. If we score like that Wilder would win 1 fight with Fury...

    Commentary, all replay in Tv was forcing Zhang as massive better fighter. Talking even how bad is Hrgovic body language.
    Bull**** but this make ppl remeber this wrong.

    And one more. Id we want judge it honest we should not score knockdown for Zhang. It was punch with forearm at back of the head. More pushing. Illeagal.
    User Serge post here great gif showing that excatly.

    Hrgovic won this. Fight was close but no way he lost it. End of the day most important is landing more than opponent in boxing.
    End of the story

    It was in the 11th. I just looked at hl again for the fight and the kd was ruled a slip. Could’ve sworn it was counted as a kd. Either way Hrgovic had won enough rounds imo to win narrowly imo.

    I had Hrgovic winning a close fight. Zhang simply faded down the stretch and didn't do enough and just got out worked in too many rounds. But it was close enough to deserve a rematch, if they ever fight again it's a 50/50 fight.

    Hrgovic edged it, just threw too many punches

    The vast majority of those who had Big Bang winning, which FTR I have no issue with, scored it to him by a round and that KD was not a KD IMO. We know the canvas was slippy all night and the punch cuffed Hrgovic over after sliding round the back of his head. The fact that Big Bang is so big and strong and was a lot heavier than Hrgovic obviously played a big part in that

    Take another look at Zhang going down in the 11th.

    The commentators had only just finished commenting on how slippery the canvas had become and Zhang's back foot skated about a metre on the logo at the centre of the ring. One of the most pronounced slips I've ever seen.

    115-112 Zhang. I want to rewatch the fight to check my score but it is nowhere to be found.

    Draw.
    Provided that:
    - Hrgovic did not deserve less than a draw, and he could have won
    - Zhang did not deserve more than a draw, and he could have lost.
    The scenario I would like the most is if it was a draw, and they scheduled another fight.
    However, this calls into question whether I've made a good judgement:

    Had it 114-113 Hrgovic at the time, can also see 114-113 for Zhang too. Regardless, the two are evenly matched.
