    Few pounds lighter, but around the same-ish. Joyce doesn't move at all though, so it's understandable to come in heavy. This is Zhang's career high in weight; I expect Parker to stick and move as well

        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
        This is true. Joyce, Zhang and Parker are all very different styles. Each has weaknesses that one may be able to exploit and not the other.

        From what I recall of Parker's fight with Whyte was that Parker was hurt by a headbutt which resulted in a knockdown. I do think Parker has improved under the tutelage of Lee but it will be a tough fight. Odds have Zhang as a -225 favorite for good reason.

          Triangle theories mean sh it in boxing.

            I'm still on Zhang winning, but I don't think coming in at 291, a career high for him I believe, was a great idea. Probably got me dropping my lean to 60/40 Zhang with this weight he came in at. If Zhang doesn't end it early or make a big mark early I could see this getting away from him in the 2nd half.

            This is definitely going to be the peoples main event here. And with how solid this card I think Rey vs Nick might be the peoples comain event cuz I think that fight could be a close competitive one too.

              Im on the fence so I aint betting. But I do lean towards Parker. He is no slow ass punching bag like Joyce as they are completely different fighters.

              They are both coming in with momentum but Parker’s confidence should be off the charts after beating Wilder. He probably feels like a Champion and we all know fighters elevate their game once they reach that spot.

              Zhang is old with stamina issues so the longer the fight lasts, better for Parker.

              This fight is very intriguing. Very hard to predict this one.

                that's not that much of a difference for a massive HW, could be just difference in what he ate or drank. To me he looks the same or maybe a bit leaner, but we'll see come fight time

                  Every time Parker comes in he's going to get countered - by mid rounds he'll be hesitant

                    They are accurate more than not. I pay attention to common opponents between to fighters that are set to fight.

                      I think the same and given Zhang's age and weight ( 291 ) his chances are less slight less About a 60/40 fight with Zhang still being my pick.
