[Kilburn]

Nice to see Russell Brand ringside.

Nice to see Russell Brand ringside.

Hahaha. RB would be totally against boxing if he had the courage of his convictions but he doesn't have that courage. He's just available for the latest celebrity event. So Pathetic.

[Gnome]

Surprised on how this fight is going. Hrgovic seems apathetic.

[Kilburn]

Hrgovic can’t wait for this to be over. He’s looked like that from about round 3.

Zhang looking ever bit his 39 years at this stage.

[Grilling Machine]

Hrgovic carries his lead hand too far forward for my liking. I get that he's trying to draw shots in the amateur style, but when he doesn't withdraw fully after jabs he's open to righthands over the top.

I'd pick Wilder to stop him, after getting roughed up a bit first.

[Grilling Machine]

Lack of atmosphere isn't helping them here.

[edit]

I think Zhang nicked that.

[Ruthless-RKO]

BoxRec has let us down tonight.

One of the biggest fights of the year.

And it’s decided to not work.

[Gnome]

Draw would have been fair for me. Odd, odd fight.

Boxrec, what's happening? Performance is struggling.

Boo hiss

[Grilling Machine]

A point to Hrg would've been generous for me. 115-112 feels cooked.

[Ruthless-RKO]

The scores were 115-112, 115-112 and 114-113 for Hrgovic.

Too wide that scorecard for Hrg

[Ruthless-RKO]

They not wasting time.

Ring walks now

[Grilling Machine]

Let's hope they've sorted out the Canvas of Doom.

That was some epic splits from Zhang.

[gregregegg]

Very weird fight. Hrgovic was probably doing the more consistent work. But whenever zhang would have any success hrg looked like he didn’t want to be there.
I wasn’t scoring but feel like I could of had it 7-5 either way.

[Grilling Machine]

Zhang clearly slowed down and lost some of the later rounds, and they both landed their share of big shots, but Zhang took his like a jumbo Golovkin with a nod, whereas Hrgovic was ready to go a couple of times and saved by Zhang's tiredness.

[bripez]

I'm getting timed out all the time on boxrec tonight, fine on other sites, anyone else having problems?

Yeah I've been trying to get on for the last hour for the round by round, although looking at the number of posts I don't think I have missed much

Yes, shite

[Boxerbeetle]

AJ’s getting ko’d

[skanksta]

Zhang deserved the nod there even without the KD, but there "were no losers" really.

They must rematch - great atmosphere builder, great fight.

[Ruthless-RKO]

AJ’s getting ko’d

He always looks nervous.

[skanksta]
