Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Indicates That Another 'Big Fight' is Heading To Saudi Arabia

[VislorTurlough]

Hope it’s big **** Zhang vs a solid opponent

[MulaKO]

Zhang isn't that good. He got sent to hospital by Forrest lol. He had a close fight with an under prepared Hrgovic who isn't that great either.

He's a big unit with a southpaw dig but that's it, he has a fairy quick trigger to be fair.

Joe Joyce is a big idiot that has been defending with his face all his life and it finally backfired. I said for years on here Joyce is a knockout waiting to happen. Credit to Zhang for being the one to do it, but it was coming very soon anyway. You can't get hit like that for years, it'll give way eventually.

Show Zhang a bit of boxing ability and don't defend with your head and you'll see he is nothing like he's cracked up to be.

AJ would punch holes in him as long as he is composed.

I know AJ beat him in the amateurs but I thought or was under the impression that Zhang got way better than he was
I think I would still pick him over AJ
But I do agree about Joyce although I wasn’t expecting his throne , so to say , to fall so soon
I thought his head first tactic would of lasted longer

[MulaKO]

This, obviously:

AJ dropped and beat Zhang in the 2012 Olympics. I think he would do the same thing again if they meet as pros. Zhang is dangerous, of course, but AJ would be much more difficult to catch clean than Joe Joyce was.

I knew he beat him in the amateurs but that was way back in 2012
Over ten years
I would still pick Zhang today that is

[MulaKO]

If Fish Eyes is the main player I would assume Joyce & Zhang would be on the card since neither fought on the last 2 in SA. Joyce did say a fight at home would be nice before fighting in SA so we will soon see what the plan is with him.

Not sure if it’s in SAE or not but Joyce has already stated that he would be fighting in March

[MulaKO]

He's already beaten him.

I think today’s AJ would lose to Zhang

[DClefthook]

Will it be Canelo, Davies, Crawford or Benevidez? Until those names appear the Saudi claims are redundant

Before what you guys wish for. If we're not careful we could see the entire US / UK boxing schedule slowly and permanently shift to Saudi. That would not be a good thing!

I do agree but unfortunately they are the only ones who don’t give two fughs about politics and are willing to pay for us to get the fights we’d like to see
If the Sulaimans of the world weren’t so fughin greedy this wouldn’t be the case

Everybody is trying to guess the card I think naturally we all do. Would it be the same fighters as last week, as modern day fighters don't fight so often but with Saudis putting up big money who knows.

The first fight that came to mind was Joshua v Hrgovic for the IBF title as everyone expecting Fury Ussyk winner to be stripped but both are managed by Hearn so unless they doing another show together it wouldnt be.

It's probably Dubois v Parker and I expect Joyce to feature against who is anyone's guess and Zhang v who knows. We will wait and see.

It doesn't matter who they are managed or promoted by. If Turki Alalshikh wants AJ vs Hrgovic on his show, he will put up the money and the fight will happen. That's the great thing about these Saudi shows, they cut out the promoter rivalries and the "in house" matchmaking that was stopping so many great fights from happening.

I don't think he would. Zhang is 40.

I don't think he would. Zhang is 40.

Age is just a #
Lmao
I get what your saying although i believe AJ does the funky chicken when hit well and one thing Zhang can do is ****
