Comments Thread For: Zhang Zhilei Touches Down in Jeddah, Pumped To Face Filip Hrgovic

[REDEEMER]

Almost is the keyword. If it didn't happen you can't say much Hrgovic will never be champion just let that sink in. He also got caught plenty of times by an out of shape Molina.

Wilder was champion by fighting C level guys mostly a few good ones here and there but mostly cherry picks ,

Hrgovic schooled Wilder at 19 years of age ,is a true Olympic caliber fighter and has defeated better guys already in the amateurs and in WSOB then Wilder accomplished as a pro but Hrgovic has no chance becoming champion ?

Makes perfect sense in your world and it won’t matter if he becomes champion or not I don’t go off the rails like you do on here not even once .

Correct you are, Hrgovic dusted Molina far quicker than Wilder A bench mark. 3 rounds for Hrgovic, 9 rounds for Wilder vs the same man. In fact he has Ko'd almost all of his opponents faster than the field of men who fought them before he did, which is rare. That is a sign of his skills and power. I think his power is very good, but not elite by the way. He's got a lot going for him and I can't believe those who deny this. He's so good is there a pre-dislike about him form some. I ask them to explain what he is missing, yet they don't do that.

For me, what's missing is a credible opponent thus far. You can tell me that he's being avoided but until I actually see him fight a decent opponent, I'm reserving my accolades for El Animal.

He's big, has some skills and hits hard. I haven't been impressed with his defense however. Zhang will be the stiffest (no pun intended) test yet and I'm not overly impressed with Big ****. We'll see, maybe Hrgovic is the future and my eyes don't see it.

Funny, how is a fight between two unbeaten heavyweights, one is a Croat, the other is Chinese, an undercard fight.

Croats are big nationalists, they support their sportsmen. And Chinese people are the biggest nation in the world. How is it possible this is not a big main event in China or in Croatia? Or even Germany, you also have many Croats and Chinese people in Germany.

On the other hand, clumsy fat Kownacki is "a name" in Brooklyn, because his Polish people support him.

If Zhang could play table tennis he would be well known in China.

They don't like combat sports.

You went back and edited your post for this? Why is it that it always takes you multiple times to say what you feel yet you still say nothing. This is the professionals not the amateurs once you realize that you will realize why Hrgovic will never be champion.

Right.

So a Croat and a Chinese not having this fight as main event in Croatia or China is unfair because a Pole, who's never headlined or even fought in Poland, is popular amongst polish immigrants in USA?

Did that sound logical in your head?

Why Zhang and joyce leave so late, like A udley Harrison and Luis ortiz

If you have ever been to the middle east is hot, unlikely the heat in the USA. You walk outside it as if some put a light bulb near your head. Maybe that's why Zhang arrived a week or so before the fight? It's normal. He didn't arrive a two or three days before the fight.

I didn`t say it is unfair. It is just not logical. I would expect Hrgovic to have some fans.

They don't have anyone good in combat sports, but did have Zou Shiming a flyweight WBO champ.

" After winning gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Zou decided to turn professional. On 23 January 2013, he signed a contract with boxing promotion company Top Rank and was subsequently trained by Freddie Roach. Zou debuted on 6 April 2013, beating Eleazar Valenzuela by unanimous decision. Zou's professional debut generated an estimated 300 million viewers in China.^[4] After a win over Jesus Ortega,^[5] Zou fought on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios on 23 November 2013, beating Juan Tozcano.^[6][7] He recorded his first knockout win of his professional career on 22 February 2014, beating Yokthong Kokietgym in the seventh round.^{[8] "}

Anyway its rare for the Chinese to heavy a sports star in anything, but they are popular there. The NBA is popular there. China just has physically smaller guys. Shiming was a quick handed flyweight with no power who finished as a pro with a recored of 11-2. 2Ko's

But getting back to Zhang he is a rare Chinese heavyweight, and its rare to have fighter with power. It he breaks through which I doubt he will China will be lining up to support him. 300 million people flyweight Shiming who wasn't that good. Could you image if they had a real top 10 heavyweight? Its a promoters wet dream, he would be as popular there as Bruce Lee was who had anti Japanese actors in his films. And likeI said th propaganda if he becomes great will be three wether he is for or against it. Hrgrvoic should drill Zhang though. I doubt you'll hear much from him afterward.

I think he's referring to them leaving the amateurs late.
