Comments Thread For: Zhilei Zhang-Joseph Parker To Land on March 8 Joshua-Ngannou Show In Riyadh

Matchroom v Queensberry. Who's the 5 fights?

Well just saw an interview on youtube from Shaun George (Zhang's trainer) & this fight was offered to Wilder first! They signed their end but Deontay obviously declined because Parker took the fight. Parker called out both Zhang & Hrgovic after his win in December & he is getting his wish. Wilder is delusional if he thinks he should still be in line to fight Joshua before Parker or any other top contender like Zhang or Hrgovic. Parker beat Wilder & knew that undisputed would be tie up the belts for awhile so he called out the 2 fighters with mandatory positions. Wilder simply looks like he doesn't want to earn his way back into the Joshua sweepstakes.

Would prefer Wilder. Parker will go into box mode vs. bum rush mode like the Wilder fight. At least Wilder's only option was to kill or be killed, breaker-breaker

It's on youtube... Zhang's trainer Shaun George said the Saudi's offered the Zhang fight to Wilder FIRST! They signed their end & were waiting for Wilder to put his pen to the contract. Well a couple days later it's Zhang/Parker so that should tell us all exactly how much Wilder wanted to fight Zhang. He is so delusional he thinks he should still be first in line for that Joshua cash out. Wilder had his chance to get right back on the horse & in the mix but he chose to decline this fight.

Zhang vs. Parker is a great match for the Asian-Pacific regional "Title".

Great stuff happening at heavyweight these days!!!!

Wilder looked either all through, very rusty or no longer has the fire. maybe a combination.
Parker did very little and Wilder did even less. Thinking that Wilder should retire or get a couple easy wins like Joshua and Parker have done. It's his time to be Down, but I suspect he's got another run in him, if he wants one.

It's possible Deontay simply doesn't want to fight anymore but is not fully committed to that decision. I honestly wish the guy well. He had a good career, perhaps not a great one, but was an interesting character to have around.

The peace derived from structured psychedelic use can be a wonderful thing. I can't see how it combines with an active boxing career, though.

Oilskin needs to keep Zhang moving for about 7 rounds and step on the gas after that. He should be able to finish it before the final bell. Grampa Zhang has that old man strength though, so he is gonna be dangerous as long as it lasts.

It would have been sweet to watch The Emperor flatten The Windmill, but this is better because Parker WILL fight back.

Wilder should just retire with his happy substances and let the warriors get to work.

Yeah the fire certainly doesn’t look there anymore & 1 round in a few years didn’t help against a guy in his 4th training camp & fight of the year. Maybe a few rebuilding fights to see if the mojo still there. Take some left overs. Maybe a fight with Franklin & then Wallin or something.

Pyschadelic substance, oilskin, happy substances? What everybody talking about, something going on I don't know about?

Anyway this should be good way preferable to wilder.

The boxers of the world are recouping that Saudi oils revenue one purse at a time.
