    Agree with you that Wilder does seem to be regressing. I like Zhang for the knock out somewhere within the first six.

    Wilder is tough and has heart but three wars against Fury and his age are too much for anyone to overcome at this stage in my opinion.

    Good video as always Rummy.
    I'll be rooting for Wilder, because basically I like punchers like Foreman, Shavers, Wilder...
    But in this video I noticed how good Hrgovic's chin actually is.

    Good video Rummy. I am also leaning towards Zhang although it is difficult to discount Wilder as Zhang is rather stationary. I’m hoping for a classic.

    Great video Rummy.

    This one for me is a NFI type of fight. Perhaps Zhang but like you, I have no confidence in that prediction at all.

    I agree with Rummy. I like both guys though, so I don’t know who to root for.

    I think if it goes beyond 4 rounds Wilder will take it by KO. A lot will depend on the weigh in. Exciting fight.

    TY for another awesome video Rummy!

    I agree with your assessment and am leaning towards ZZ coming out on Top :boxing1

    I'm rooting for Zhang because I think that Wilder, due to his brain damage, gives the impression that he has become a better person...

    I just have a gut feeling that this fight will be all over within two rounds.

    Wilder has made a career of knocking out slow guys who stand in front of him I like Zhang and think he was robbed against hrgovic but he will be right in front wilder and easy to hit I think wilder decapitate him in an early slug fest around round 3

    If Zhang acts lazy as he did in Parker fight, Wilder wins by KO.

    Mostly excited about this because it's hard to know exactly how this fight is going to play out and whose going to win this. Honestly I think this fight can go two ways: It becomes an exciting 5 round fight where both guys are trying to go for the KO and someone gets stopped. Or it ends up being a slow paced, boring dull fight where both guys are too wary of the other guys power. My fear is that this fight ends up becoming a snooze fest, especially when you factor in Zhang’s low output and tendency to gas out plus Wilder’s ugly style and minimal boxing ability.
