    I’m surprised by that. Zhang could feel hard-done there.

    No way that is unanimous in favour of Hrgović. Zhang did more than enough to be ahead and won 6-7 rounds.

    I thought Zhang shaded it, a draw at least.

    Not that it matters, neither are good enough to fight for the title.

    Judges - x2 from Poland & one from the US.

    It was only going one way.

    Great fight, poor decision.

    Just said the same, both are miles away from world title level and beating anyone at the top. The winner of Joyce Vs Parker will be much closer to actually challenging imo

    I think Dillian Whyte or Del Boy would spark both of those out.

    Dodgy decision. Two judges giving it by 3 ?!
    Nope

    enjoyed it, but as Carmine said the ice rink of a ring might cause problems

    I’d like him to out box him for 12 but think a KO is the only way he’ll win. I think he’ll win.

    Agreed, if it goes the distance then he's lost

    Anyone else think the atmosphere is a bit flat?

    It's just the wrong place to hold it...to hot, no real fans, canvas is soaked, middle of the night there etc etc.... But Eddie Hearn has to earn

    And there’s why your average bloke hasn’t much respect for Joshua.

    I'll be really impressed if Usyk manages a knock out, I'm just not sure he has the power to knock out a heavyweight.... But time will tell
