I think Parker beats Zhang

[Marchegiano]

I'm going Team Parker this fight as well. Mostly because Zhang's an overrated bum with wins over other overrated bums.

[Toffee]

I reckon this is a 50/50. Joe looked great against Wilder, but I had very little doubt that he should beat such a limited opponent.

Zhang looked great against Joyce, but I suspect Joe's lumbering movement only gave the illusion of Zhang having fast hands.

I imagine Parker's plan will be to take Zhang into the late rounds. Get in and out and score points without absorbing too much punishment. Zhang will be trying to time him onto a lead left.

Zhang early or Parker late. But 50/50 for me. Fair Play to both of them making the fight.

I got Parker by decision but the fight could really go any number of ways. Zhang made his name for his performances against Hrgovic and Joyce, two big men who aren't the hardest to hit.

Parker has the athleticism, his defense isn't bad and he's pretty durable. I think he has the chops to survive early and outpace Zhang in the second half of the fight.

Zhang has a lot more variety in shot selection than Wilder on top of being close to 60 lbs heavier than Wilder.

Parker has his hands full and his main advantages are going to be mobility, and cardio more than likely.

Parker can't let Zhang touch him with little shots here and there because if he does eventually the heavier shots are going to start coming through.

I can see how Parker wins but it's going to be tough.

Here is why. Zhang must hurt , drop and stop his opponent inside 8 rounds to win. After that he gasses out and fights to survive. Good luck doing that to Parker. Parker has a very good gas tank and a good chin. It took Joyce 11 rounds to hurt and stop him.

Parker is better boxer than Hrgovic, if the fight goes into late rounds, Parker wins a comfortable decision or even a late stoppage.

Joyce was stylisticly a nightmare for Parker, because he is a huge pressure fighter with a granit chin and a good gas tank. If Zhang could do that to Parker, he would win by a stoppage also, but Zhang `s cardio sucks.

It is an interesting fight. On skills he should because Zhang is now 40. But Parker is a man who is gun shy of contact and if the type of fight emerges where he is hit enough, he will back out and be defensive to let the distance! He has shown us this.

No, Parker is not the better boxer nor is he the better hitter in comparison to Hrgovic.

Well. Parker was KO'd by Joyce who was Ko'd twice by Zhang. And he was beaten by the sloppy Dillans White. And of course he withdrew from the action vs. Joshua who blew him out on the cards.

Zhang should win 65/35 I think. But the man is 40

[mrbig1]

I do too

I do three.

[HENNY]

I have Parker as well. Zhang just came in at 291 pounds. Wayyyyy too heavy

[deathofaclown]

Show Zhang some movement and you'll see how useless he is

what did he weigh in the Joyce fights? he actually looks a bit leaner. Parker is definitely going to be on his bike
