    That's good to hear it shows balls as he could easily just move on. Props if it happens next.

    Sounds good. The first fight was a lot of fun.

    Put it on the Fury-Usyk undercard.

    Hrgovic wins the rematch. Zhang is already an old man getting older

    I wouldn't mind seeing it again, but Hrgovic would be better off fighting someone else while he waits for a title fight.

    Hrgovic will cruise to an easy UD if he fights a bit more cautiously.

    Good on Hrgovic. Not impressed with his performance.

    Cool, it was in an entertaining fight.

    Have to admire Hrgovic risking his mandatory status after winning the eliminator in the first fight by taking an immediate rematch.

    I assume Zhang will want it as it will be another decent pay day. Though he may want the rematch in China.

    I’m gonna go against the limb here and say I’m not interested in this at all. I’m actually pretty sick and tired of heavyweight rematches

    I get being against needless rematches like Fury vs Wilder 3 and Usyk vs Joshua 2, but this was a very close fight that could have gone either way and was exciting to watch.

    9/10 times I would agree with you, but I have been waiting for Zhang's coming for years, and this is the only way he is getting a title shot.

    Zhang deserves a better payday.
    I also don't think Hrgovic wants a rematch. He will need almost a year to recover now.

    He deserves a lot of credit for this if he goes through with it next. He took a lot of huge head shots the other night from a massive puncher and it had me concerned for his well being and a lot of fighters would swerve a rematch with someone as powerful as Zhang after he gave them a torrid time in the first fight, especially when they've already secured their title shot and they could face someone a lot less dangerous in the interim

    Fabio Wardley spent a month sparring Hrgovic and he said he hits really hard. I know he hits hard but I was disappointed with his power against Zhang. But I do think Zhang is better defensively than some think he is and he blocked a lot of shots on his arms and gloves
