Comments Thread For: Zhilei Aims To Move Forward With Career, Team Disgusted Over Scoring In Loss To Hrgovic

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Zhang Zhilei has already moved on from his last fight and its debatable outcome. The rest of his team still regards the development as unfinished business. China's Zhilei was considered unlucky to come up short in his IBF heavyweight title eliminator with Croatia's Filip Hrgovic. Scores of 115-112, 115-112 and 114-113 all landed in favor of Hrgovic, who had to recover from an opening round knockdown to prevail in their battle of unbeaten heavyweight contenders.

Zhilei got robbed!!!

He put together some beautiful combinations for a heavyweight. If he had conditioning he'd be a problem for many.

Zhilei seems like a genuinely likeable guy, I feel bad for him.

Still..hey China, how does corruption feel? Sucks doesn't it?

I had 114-113 Zhang

He had Hrgovic hurt many times but when he gassed out it felt there were rounds where he didn't throw anything at all. With better engine he could have easy win but he just gave up too many rounds to Hrgovic for free. For me close win for either one or a draw is fine

he was a victim of the current political climate.

imagine a Chinese heavyweight cant win a decision in the western promotion.

Matchroom originally signed Zhang to break into the untapped, potentially lucrative Chinese market.

But they were not going to side with a 39yo over Hrgovic.

Very Entertaining Fight!

Zhang won this fight. He had Hrgovic wobbling around and frozen multiple times with no answer back. For a 39 year old he looked good and has probably a good fight or two left in him.
