    See a lot of praise for Zhang saying he’d beat any top heavyweight like Fury but how will do against a guy he lost to and couldn’t KO?

    I see Hrgovic winning again by decision, probably more convincingly the 2nd time around. I still don't think his head was right for that fight after his fathers death and this time he knows he's in far a tough nights work and can work on things in preparation for the rematch.

    We won't see this any time soon though, ironically Zhang's stock seems higher right now with people talking about Zhang a lot more that Hrgovic who again seems to be continually ignored by the big names.

    I really don't know who would win because Zhang is really good, he is a southpaw and his style does not suit anyone, I think Hrgovic's head was not in place in the first fight but that does not diminish Zhang's abilities, I think the rematch would be 50-50...

    I got Hrgovic by decision. He can take Zhongshan best shots and outwork him down the stretch in more convincing fashion this time.

    Hrgovic ahead here whereas a solid majority thought Zhang won the first...seems some retconing going on, here.

    Zhang, he will have taken a lot away from his fight with Joyce.

    I can see a victory for each one with Hrgovic having a bit more chance, he won a close one.

    This is a no-brainer

    Hrgovic beat him on his worst ever night

    I had it the same as the judges, very close, 1 point up for Hrgovic.

    You'd definitely see a better Hrgovic in a rematch. He really wants the rematch himself .

    Could go either way, let's be honest. Lean towards Hrgovic but not by much.

    I like Zhang and he has a lot of momentum right now, but I think Filip makes the right adjustments and is in better shape for this one. Probably wins by late TKO.

    Zhang needs to work on his stamina and pacing. He can improve even at his age, look at Foreman's comeback.

    With fair judges, he's going to win comfortably again.
