Comments Thread For: Zhilei Zhang on Joseph Parker: I Think I Will Win By Knockout For Sure

[MulaKO]

Parker will be good for a few rounds but I think the power will get to him
But if he can handle the power , that’s a major upset in the works
Like I said , big if

[jkrames]

Zhang is competent boxer and made of iron. Parker is faster but smaller. I think we see a Parker SD.

[Quiksilva]

Parker proved me wrong big time in the Wilder fight. I literally thought Wilder was going to knock him out, he (Wilder) was also the favorite in the bookies to win it by stoppage.

Parker is durable and has a solid chin, it took 32 professional bouts for him to be knocked out and that was in Round 11 by Joe Joyce. Zhang beats up Joyce (twice), and Joyce stopped Parker?

Thing is, Parker moves around a lot, is faster than Joyce. He might give Zhang some problems, this is still an intriguing match up whatsoever. Can Zhang's old age keep up with the youth of today?

[TMLT87]

Zhang could absolutely win this and may be the favourite, but Parker is difficult to stop. Joyce was able to do it because he could shrug off most return fire and apply a level of sustained pressure that most guys his size cant. Zhang is better than Joyce head to head but hes a different fighter stylistically.

[PRINCEKOOL]

This is a more difficult fight stylistically for Parker, than both his fight vs Joyce and Wilder.

Because Zhang? Has punching power comparable to Wilder, he has durability comparable to Joyce 'Combined with potentially greater overall boxing skills'.

Note: Although Joyce is a Olympic Silver Medalist 'Zhang for me, is the better pure boxer skill for skill. And thus far in his professional boxing career, he has shown that'.

Zhang will be a bit more difficult to hit than Joyce and Wilder consistently, combined with a greater overall offensive threat 'Due to his single punch ability, power and accuracy'.

It is not clear what the tactics will be for Parker 'I am sure if Parker, want's to just survive. He could pull off a semi-good performance, like he did vs Anthony Joshua'.

That is the last time Parker, fought a proven power puncher 'Who can box'. And the fact of the matter is? Parker, in those kind of fights has historically fought quite apprehensively, and with a survival attitude.

Maybe Parker, has to just box sensibly for the first half of the fight 'Then attempt to pressure Zhang in the second half, to see if a long distance fight will decrease his ability'.

Parker is really up against it here, this is a extremely difficult challenge for him etc.

Joe Parker is getting bombed on. there's no doubt about this. can he take it? that's the question

But Zhang drew with a top-80 guy. Parker is a top 5 guy who just beat Wilder.

I got Parker to win. Zhang is 40 years old and unproven and has only beaten heavy bag Joe Joyce. Zhang's power IS proven though. I'll give you that

liver failure. never happened again since he got a nutritionist.

[Oshio]

Parker's challenge will be his reach. Zhang has better reach however his age may be a factor here. Body shots is Parker's best bet. Even at that, he must be careful and retrospect of Zhang's heavy hands. He's going down if Zhang's keeps connecting

[JakeTheBoxer]

Zhang`s challenge will be his lack of endrurance and a bad cardio. he can˙t stop Parker the way Joyce did, he must do it much faster than in 11 rounds.

If the fights goes past 8. round, Parker wins.
