Round-by-Round: Deontay Wilder vs. Zhilei Zhang | PPV - 1 June 2024

How much is the ko bonus and what do you think their fight purse is ?

I read between 400k to 600k bonus

That should make them go for it

[SeanBrennan]

5 and 0 for Willy. He's boxing really well and hurt Richards.

[Kilburn]

Good attack from Hutchinson in the 5th, wise to ease up though, was only going to take more out of himself than Richards.

definitely, nice bonus that.

[Deserter]

Hutch dominating this in a way I didn't anticipate. Really nice switch-hitting and mxiing the pace up, while Richards looking very one-dimensional. McGuigan absoultely right in the corner to tell him not to touch gloves at the end of the round like that - accepting the status quo like that is never a good sign.
Lovely uppercut by Hutch midway through the sixth.

[MightyWarrior]

Hutch coming of age, hope his gas tank holds up

[SeanBrennan]

I have Willy 6 up.

[MightyWarrior]

Stoic Richard bravely trying to make something happen but he’s not at the races so far
flash brash Willy not giving him a look in

[MightyWarrior]

Oh my God, Dev backstage with Nick Ball is cringe making of the highest order

[SeanBrennan]

unchartered territory for Willy rounds-wise, but he looks so comfortable.

[Kilburn]

Hutchinson giving Richards fits, very loose and confident. It’s a teeny bit like Froch v Groves 1, without the drama and fireworks.

[SeanBrennan]

This willy is harder than we all thought....

[Cas]

Hutchinson perhaps starting to fade abit here? Great first half of the fight for him so far. 5-2 Hutchinson for me.

[Kilburn]

This willy is harder than we all thought....

B-dum tish.

[SeanBrennan]

This willy is harder than we all thought....

B-dum tish.

sorry I definitely need to grow up now I've turned 40

[Cask]

Lol the WWF vs WCW style build-up for this, fighting to represent your promoter! In Saudi Arabia, 40 years of buildup! Yeah with most of it against BARRY Hearn

[Cas]

These guys are exhausted. Hutchinson is fighting reckless here. Needs to be told the riot act by the Corner. Just sit back and relax now.

[MightyWarrior]

Hutch doing the wrong thing here, spider looks like he’s got the better chin

Wowza it’s a war

[Deserter]

fornicate me what a brilliant 10th. Hutch well up on the cards but this is on a knife edge!

[Kilburn]

Blimey that came to life in the 10th. Richards trying to do something but his legs look fatigued.

[SeanBrennan]

brilliant 10th round. Willy's nose broken. He has massive heart and landing heavy shots. I have no idea re scores.

[Deserter]

Hutchinson just needs to stay on his feet for the final 3 IMO. What a brilliant start to this card!

[SeanBrennan]

Richards need a stoppage now. And into the 12th we go

this has been a really good fight

[forcefraser]

Great rounds. Hutchinson has this if it goes the distance

[SeanBrennan]

Well done Willy, I thought Richards would win but Willy was excellent. Deserved and wide winner. Youth shone through and the 9 year age gap very present.
