    That decision victory was disappointing. Zhang won that fight hands down.
    Zhang talked about showing Chinese power and it seems like he succeeded

      I had it 8-4 for Hrgovic, sweeping the final three rounds. It was a good fight, Zhang fought well enough and showed defense but could not deal with the speed and accuracy of Hrgovic combinations. If was a cuffing hooking / throw down by Zhang for the early knockdown. That and the clash on heads early had Hrgovic Flustered, but his quaintly came out. Good fight both men showed why they were deserving of the IBF eliminator.

        Hrgovic looked like he was ready to quit midpoint but credit to him he stuck in there and won some rounds in the 2nd half but his fans just need to accept that he should've lost today.
        Zhang turned his back and started running at the end of the final round lmao

        Man bottled the fight by gassing after 6-7 rounds and throwing almost nothing in the final few rounds.

          Zhang won 7-5

          With a knockdown, he clearly won.


          it was a robbery.

            The crowd knows who won. Lol Hrgovic literally froze before the round finished and let Zhang punch him straight in the face with a look of despair on more than one occasion it's there to be seen.

            I could care less I'm not Croatian or Chinese and I picked Hrgovic to win because I thought Zhang would be too slow but he definitely lost. Zhang was actually quicker and landing more combos who would've thought all Hrgovic has is a right hand no punch variety.

            ​​​​​​Either way with that piss poor showing it confirms he will never be champ.

                A really good fight, both below the very best at heavyweight, but entertaining.

                I can see how the decision is debated. Zhang really should've put the heat on a bit more when it looked like Hrgovic was badly hurt.

                ​​​​​​It was strange a couple of times, when it appeared as if Filip turned away and was either hurt or tired, or looked for a way out of the fight, then he came back.

                He's been through a heck of a lot lately, having lost his dad, so his mental preparation must've been very hard.

                    Zhang was robbed. Even if was close. Hrgovic was hurt at times uninterested or not even in the fight

                      Zhang had multiple rounds where he barely threw a punch. He did not show up in shape prepared to go 12 rounds and that decided the fight.

                      I was rooting for him and scored it a draw. Can’t complain about the scorecard. Zhang didn’t do enough to complain.
