This fight is on the undercard of Usyk vs Joshua. Zhang is an undefeated heavyweight but outmatched and will likely be KO'd. Thoughts?
Hrgovic vs Zhang

I think I've seen about three of Zhang's fight. Unintentionally, he was always on some undercard of a fight I was watching. He knocked every single one of them out in the first round.
Never seen the other dude before. So I gotta go with Zhang. -
Hrgovic will probably carry him to mid rounds or around before dispatching him and get some rounds in after a long lay off . Hrgovic under Ronnie Shields looks that much more formidable which is bad news fir the rest of the division ,Shields was Joshua’s first choice to train him but couldn’t make it a U.K thing so he ended up with Hrgovic .Comment

This will be a good test for El Animal, but one he should pass without too much trouble. Hopefully, it'll help his career pick up some steam.Comment

Hrg a slow starter slow and clumsy has to warm into a fight. Zhang after a comic book start in boxing, has become something of a quick starter to disguise his lack of stamina as in the Forrest fight.
In short, Hrg may go splotto before he can warm into the fight.Comment

On paper Hrgovic should outclass Zhang and stop him. Zhang is big and stiff and hasn't faced the best opposition. He nearly died in the ring after Forrest refused to lay down.
All that being said, he's big and he hits hard. I'm not as high on Hrgovic as others. He's skilled offensively and hits hard but I've seen him get hit clean too often by inferior fighters.
I expect Hrgovic to break him down and stop him but if he's sloppy (especially early), Zhang has a chance to land something heavy that wins him the fight. My prediction: Hrgovic KO5.Comment

I have to imagine Zhang wants to prove in this fight that he’s not just going to be a novelty. We’ll see what he’s made of here.Comment

Hrgovic has only went past mid rounds twice and averages 4 rounds per fight with the last couple ending in 3 rounds nit sure how fast you want him to start ?

This is a huge mismatch and Zhang has next to zero chance winning this one . Zhang looks decent against guys he severely outsized ,Hrgovic definitely isn’t going to be one of those guys . He does everything better ,is younger and has the far better experience fighting tougher opponents .Last edited by REDEEMER; 08-10-2022, 01:38 AM.Comment
