I seem to think Zhang Zhilei was robbed against Filip Hrgović in their fight on the Usyk/Joshua undercard.

What about you?

I don't think so, Zhang was so exhausted he couldn't follow up his heavy punches, he should have hrgovic out of there but he couldn't..Hrgovic was certainly busier and was landing quite regularly despite having many punches blocked.. Zhang just didn't have the stamina to win..

Close fight both hurting one anther. Hrgovic was ready to quit but stayed strong to win.

Yeh a good example to me of one that had two very different styles on display. It was not a robbery at all but do believe Zhang earned a close win. He clearly did the moving and the hurting and reaction of Hrgovic was just baffling at times. But def wouldn't mind at all for them to roll it back for part II sign me up.

No I thought Hrgovic better boxing and crisper more fluid punching earned him the decision. I think it's possibly a case of the underdog doing a bit better than expected making a fight seem closer than it was. Utterly bizarre behaviour from Hrgovic though. Had there been a few intentional nut shots I would have been fully convinced I was watching Andrew Golota.

I don't fancy Hrgovic up a notch.
