Here is why. Zhang must hurt , drop and stop his opponent inside 8 rounds to win. After that he gasses out and fights to survive. Good luck doing that to Parker. Parker has a very good gas tank and a good chin. It took Joyce 11 rounds to hurt and stop him.
Parker is better boxer than Hrgovic, if the fight goes into late rounds, Parker wins a comfortable decision or even a late stoppage.
Joyce was stylisticly a nightmare for Parker, because he is a huge pressure fighter with a granit chin and a good gas tank. If Zhang could do that to Parker, he would win by a stoppage also, but Zhang `s cardio sucks.

Very good prediction man.
This fight was just as I expected. Parker is all wrong for Zhang. I think Parker wins a rematch also.
Yes, well done. I thought it was a pickem. I picked zhang
Parker looks like he's got bit between the teeth. It's a pickem. So I think I pick Zhang to win. Although Parker is the best version ever now, I think wilder was a bit gun shy,.
i got zhang stopping parker mid rounds
not only does zhang hit harder than joyce but hes also faster and joyce landed plenty vs parker i know triangle theories dont always work
but i just cant see parker beating the big chinaman
Zhang probably will slow right down after 6 rounds or so. But he has shown he can survive and go 12 rounds after slowing. He has a good chin and knows how to fight tired.
My prediction is - Big Bang keeps Big Joe at bay with powerfull, accurate counters to build up an early lead. Parker comes on strong after Zhang hits the wall, but it won't be enough. Zhang will hang in there till the end and win by close decision.
Interesting prediction. If that actually happens and Zhang wins a decision, that will be a huge step for him.
I'm still on Zhang winning, but I don't think coming in at 291, a career high for him I believe, was a great idea. Probably got me dropping my lean to 60/40 Zhang with this weight he came in at. If Zhang doesn't end it early or make a big mark early I could see this getting away from him in the 2nd half.
This is definitely going to be the peoples main event here. And with how solid this card I think Rey vs Nick might be the peoples comain event cuz I think that fight could be a close competitive one too.
I think the same and given Zhang's age and weight ( 291 ) his chances are less slight less About a 60/40 fight with Zhang still being my pick.
Triangle theories mean sh it in boxing.
They are accurate more than not. I pay attention to common opponents between to fighters that are set to fight.
Few pounds lighter, but around the same-ish. Joyce doesn't move at all though, so it's understandable to come in heavy. This is Zhang's career high in weight; I expect Parker to stick and move as well
Every time Parker comes in he's going to get countered - by mid rounds he'll be hesitant
287.2 in the rematch.
that's not that much of a difference for a massive HW, could be just difference in what he ate or drank. To me he looks the same or maybe a bit leaner, but we'll see come fight time :boxing:
Im on the fence so I aint betting. But I do lean towards Parker. He is no slow ass punching bag like Joyce as they are completely different fighters.
They are both coming in with momentum but Parker’s confidence should be off the charts after beating Wilder. He probably feels like a Champion and we all know fighters elevate their game once they reach that spot.
Zhang is old with stamina issues so the longer the fight lasts, better for Parker.
This fight is very intriguing. Very hard to predict this one.
Well. Parker was KO'd by Joyce who was Ko'd twice by Zhang. And he was beaten by the sloppy Dillans White. And of course he withdrew from the action vs. Joshua who blew him out on the cards.
Zhang should win 65/35 I think. But the man is 40

This is true. Joyce, Zhang and Parker are all very different styles. Each has weaknesses that one may be able to exploit and not the other.
From what I recall of Parker's fight with Whyte was that Parker was hurt by a headbutt which resulted in a knockdown. I do think Parker has improved under the tutelage of Lee but it will be a tough fight. Odds have Zhang as a -225 favorite for good reason.
what did he weigh in the Joyce fights? he actually looks a bit leaner. Parker is definitely going to be on his bike

I have Parker as well. Zhang just came in at 291 pounds. Wayyyyy too heavy
