With 63 knockouts between them, their fight has captured the imagination more than any other on the 5 x 5 bill, that features fighters from Queensberry Promotions and Matchroom boxers against one another.

Emperor Zhang shall reign supreme and have that boy windmill kneel before him!

I like Wilder here. Zhang is not some elite fighter. Wilder can beat guys like him.

Wilder KO in the mid rounds. Wilder has experience fighting southpaws & Zhang is much slower than Szpilka & Ortiz. This ain’t 12… I favour Wilder…

Maybe a younger, dialed-in 217lb Wilder could, but this shop worn, older, 214lb version? Zhang is going to retire Deontay.

The KOs over Joyce have caused Zhang's hype machine to work overtime. If Wilder just boxes him early, he takes him out later. If he loses, then it means he doesn't want to be in the sport anymore. Me, I bet on Deontay by stoppage (but also put a tenner on a double decision win for Wilder and Hrgovic, at 68/1...one never knows.)

Just remember people this is the approximate weight wilder was at when the likes of Molina was making him do chicken dances from a pillow fisted right hook... Now can you imagine what will happen when Zhang lands his southpaw right hook (it comes from outside of an opponents peripheral vision so they mostly don't see it) like the one that switched Joe Joyce's lights out? The only outcome is wilder is getting put to bed. Zhang can also vary that shot as he showed when he looped it to drop Hrgovic and when he chopped down with it to drop Parker. And this is all before even talking about the left hand...

In short wilder is absolutely fuq-ed. I'd recommend everyone to bet a large wedge on a Zhang KO like I'm going to do!

Good fighting weight for Wilder. I think the Bronze Bomber is gonna detonate on Zhang.

Interesting fight but I took zhang by tko/ko. If wilder didn’t look so terrible and gun shy in his last fight I would be taking him but I’m just not sure he can pull the trigger anymore or if even wants to, plus I think Zhang is more durable.

Dubois/ hrgrovic is a 50/50 fight in my opinion.

Wilder's wasting away in old age. 214 pounds? Even I outweigh him.

I'm not convinced his power was ever quite what it was made out to be. I am convinced by Zhang's.

So it's the Slow B.ang and the Skinny Bomber. I hope Deontay can get it done but I can't really see how.

Edit: can this site f.uck off with the ridiculous censorship. The guy is named "Big B.ang" yet we can't use the word. Useless bunch of c.unts.
