    This fight is not in negotiations, unfortunately, but Babic did say that it was possible in 2022. If it does take place next year, how do you have it?

    Bab's is like a stylistic wet dream for Zhang.
    He would be hitting him with a 90% clip from the first round.

    But if AB could somehow weather that though...I must say I'd like to find out.

    Actually, a smart fight to stage in China. Babic has all the right optics.

    Babic can surely do better than Forest unless Zhang has considerably improved which I doubt

    After the fight against Jerry Forrest I believe, Babic could have good chances to win, since he has a good chin and his heart is still on fire.

    Zhang packs a powerful punch but is very limited fighter with a very poor gas tank.

    Also wasn't Zhang in a serious condition after the last fight? Might be damaged goods.

    I'd back Babic to win but wouldn't be surprised if Zhang drops him (it would be a good chin check test for Babic).

    Basically how I feel. Hopefully Zhang is training hard, I like both of these guys a lot.

    Zhang has pretty weak punching power for his size and his gas tank is suspect. Good thing for him in that matchup: Babic also hasn't a lot of power, is much smaller AND has a suspect gas tank as well.

    This could be very ugly if it goes past the third or fourth round.

    Based on skills Zhang should win a decision though.

    I don't think Babic has nearly enough stamina or chin as Forrest.

    Zhang will KO him in the first 2 rounds.

    Zhang leaning on the Savic could be a really big problem. If he didn't punch himself out and left a little energy for movement Babic could have a chance though.

    My memory is I thought Forrest won their fight (all I remember is that it was terrible after a couple rounds), so maybe they should consider that instead?

    . Almost impossible to score for Forrest due to KDs (3 across 3 rounds in a ten rounder) The point being taken off is what gave Forrest the draw. Probably just misremember due to it being a huge near upset.

    But yeah, Zhang basically brushed off the draw since he was sick and doesn’t have interest in a rematch, basically saying that he almost KOd him easily and would have if not for his sickness. So very unlikely unfortunately.

    Zhang is one of the hardest punchers in boxing, I can’t tell if you’re kidding. Half of his fights are KOs in the first round and he even managed to hurt Rudenko.
