    Zhang has quite a lot of 1st and second round KOs so he obviously likes to get stuck in early doors.

    I've just had a dabble at hrgovic to be knocked down in the first at 40-1.
    Seems like a good punt to me as fighters can easily take a flash knockdown in the first before they warm into the fight

    Plus Hrgovic has literally no defence.

    saying zero abiliity in them is abit harsh.. Sanchez while boring is excellent at controlling a fight.. that takes talent. Hrgovic and hunter also promising.

    I was thinking this too, but he said he isn't using his defense due to the quality of opponent. Maybe it's true, it's surprising that a professional would actually say this.

    They'll never do feck all. Never win a world title because they're simply not good enough. Which isn't the end of the world don't get me wrong but they're not ticket sellers nor do they have charisma.

    Glorified gatekeepers at best.

    This,,,, had the big Chinese mummy been in with a live body he'd have been planted face down. Hrgovic seems to have the know how on how to avoid him for a few rounds then move in and take him out. Zhang does have the element of power which grants any fighter a chance of victory but taken as a whole Hrgovic is a deserving favorite. I'm going to be interested in the odds at fight time.

    Dubois, Joyce heck even Johnny Fisher all have better chances at picking up a strap. Hrgovic doesn't have it.

    Johnny Fischer's best chance at picking up a title is finding one on the side of the road!

    And he'd still have a better chance than the other wasters.
