Comments Thread For: Warren on Zhang: I Fancy Him Against Usyk; Struggles with Shots To The Body

[takenotes]

Well, Usyk is not gonna KO Zhang/Hrgovic or Fury. Which means he needs to fight perfect or near perfect for 12 rounds. While not impossible, he is gonna need to take way harder shots than what Dubois threw. In the end, it all depends on which version of the fighters show up, but I would feel confident that Zhang and Hrgovic would stop Usyk.

What has Hrgovic done as a pro to make you think he stops Usyk??

So I guess Frank's plan is to have Zhang/Usyk since Zhang is the WBO mandatory. So no Fury fight. Hrgovic, then Zhang. Then I'm sure the WBA will come calling again.

well if usyk is so vulnerable & easy to stop then get flubby to stop messing around and back up his claims of an easy undisputed fight too and stop demanding 500 mil for the fight and make a deal with the rag heads!!!!

its funny how so many think usyk is such an easy almost walkover fight, if this were the case then flubby would have made the fight and done it long ago, if flubby actually wants to fight someone u can clearly see it in his interviews and call outs and words, hes actually says the total opposite with usyk for some odd reason, he says he doesnt even want the undisputed fight, if chisora or stumble bum or whoever had the 3 belts would he say nah not interest in that fight lol, the guy is a clown, hes gone A side mad like others before him, result, avoid marinate etc, its a well trodden path in boxing

He has a solid chin, has a good gas tank and throws a lot of punches. He is younger and much bigger than Usyk. He also beat Zhang. If he comes in motivated he wins. I'd be surprised if Usyk fights him next.

Usyk struggled with Chisora. He beat AJ because AJ was scared to pull the trigger and use his advantage to bother Usyk. Usyk could have lost against Dubois had it been another ref. So yeah, Usyk is not doing much either.

Usyk is not doing much either.

not doing much?

great run at cruiser weight, move up, hard move to do, becomes mando to the guy with the belts AJ and beats him in his hometown and again in rematch and takes on his mando and wins & is trying to make the undisputed fight & hes not doing much? ok

[Mr WorldWide]

Frank trying his best to get all the HW belts without risking the one he's already got.
Fury is going nowhere near Big Wang

Zhang has legit one punch ko power, but more importantly i belive he got the fastest hands in the top 10, even faster than Ruiz. His left is a damn rocket, and extremly accurate too!
Add to this the fact that he took shots from Hergovich (got robbed against) and Joyce without any problem, that Usyk is feather fisted and the overall size difference between the two, and we got a real 50/50 fight.
