What do you think will happen here? Any predictions?
BTW, will this become the main event now that Beterbiev is out of the picture?

Appears Zhang is trying to bulk up as much as possible to soften Wilder's right. He's a better boxer, so Wilder will need to account for that, which if Zhang can absorb his power, he can't.
I got Zhang stopping Wilder within six. -
I think Zhang will KO him. I could see the young Wilder moving and throwing punches for 12 rounds, eventually even hurting Zhang and winning via decision but Wilder from the Parker fight is lost. True, Zhang from Parker's fight is 6 rounds fighter with terribly poor movement and output, but he at least has the bigger power advantage. No matter how it ends as a winner, it will be fine.
I think this is a weird match but not in a negative sense.Comment

If Wilder commits with the right hand he’ll knock Zhang out. If the Parker version of Wilder shows up, which I think is likely, I’ve got Zhang by KO.
Gun to my head, I’d probably have to pick Zhang on recent performances.Comment

For Deontay Wilder to win this fight, he has to show no hesitation 'It seems like Wilder was trying to tactically fight Parker, but as we all know? Deontay Wilder skill for skill is not a elite level fighter in terms of pure boxing skill'.
Deontay Wilder most likely does have the better movement than Zhilei Zhang 'Therefore movement combined with ambush styled violent attacks, are for me what will win Deontay Wilder this fight'.
Zhilei Zhang is skill for skill the more proven boxer, so? I would expect him to attempt to anticipate and time Deontay Wilder's attacks 'To then counter with his own power punchers'.
Note: At whatever stage of Wilder's career, I actually think Zhang would of been a stylistically difficult fight 'Zhang has serious power, boxing ability and a solid level of durability'. Those are all the attributes which a fighter needs in order to beat Deontay Wilder etc.
