    Zhang. I actually thought it was close but Hrgovic was hurt quite a few times and was walking away like he hated being in the same ring as Zhang.

      Zhang and it wasn't even that close to me.

        I was in the minority and had Hrgovic edging it on workrate.

        Zhang hurt him a few times and I didn't like Hrgovic's body language at all and thought he looked awful but I simply thought Zhang p1ssed too many rounds away doing very little.

          Add an option for draw and another for 'could have gone either way based on round by round judging' and I will.

          Otherwise I'll just be contributing to a thread which validates opinions along the lines of "I thought Zhang hurt him a couple of times so I gave it to him', like that's how boxing judging happens after 12 rounds.

            If Zhang got a bit more in his tank, he could have finished that fight in some rounds. Hrgovich was ready to go more than once

              A close fight, I think Hrgovic edged it. In the last two rounds Zhang did nothing but run and that costed him.

                Jabs landed 40 5
                Jabs thrown 327 88
                Power landed 168 149
                Here are the punch stats. Hrgovic out jabbed and out landed Zhang . The haters are out in full in full force, but of you score the fight round by round you will come up with the right winner. Zhang showed good defense and power, and fought an off focus Hrgovic who didn't show up for any pre-fight stuff. Something was bothering him. Maybe Zhang's southpaw style. The knock down was a cuffing blow behind the head / combination pull down. Not chin or balance related.​

                  Didn't score RBR but Zhang did very little in the later rounds iirc, felt like he somewhat wasted the good start he had. Wasn't terribly surprised Hrgovic got the nod, certainly not a robbery imo.

                    Didn't score it but felt that Zhang deserved the nod in a close fight where neither particularly impressed me.

                    Zhang showed a good chin, decent skills, heavy power but he still gassed.

                    Hrgovic showed athleticism and heart but still had leaky defense and everytime Zhang landed clearly it looked like it short circuited his brain. After getting hit, he literally walked away from Zhang and the action like he didn't want to be there.
