Oh no not another rematch. No one wants that

NNNNOOOO. THAT SUCKED. Parker won and deserved it, but his style robbed the fight of fun. The viewership of a rematch should be 2 - their moms.

Not like either of them.has a better opponent lined up. The knockdowns will be enough to.get people interested. Maybe. I guess.

This was a decent scrap, but aside from the knockdowns, Parker showed his class for most of the fight. Zhang's size and power were a problem early, but he looked like he wasn't in great shape and gassed out towards the end. But then again, he is 40 and he can only do so much before his age creeps in the longer the fight goes. Wouldn't mind it again, but Parker should move on to bigger and better things. He's been on a roll lately and should let Zhang earn his back to a rematch.

Not a great fight but the rematch clause was in place on contract signing. I think Zhang came in way too heavy at 21st and he'll shed the pounds for part 2 but Parker will feel confident going forward.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I think Zhang should fight somebody else. Go fight and beat somebody like Lenier Pero, Ajagba, McKean. Better boxers usually do it even better in a rematch and Parker is better boxer than Zhang.

Parker is a very, very good fighter, but his ceiling is obvious. An AJ rematch would be interesting, but he'd have no shot against Fury or Usyk.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Parker has now beaten Wilder and Zhang in successive fights. Is the only HW guy fighting top fighters at the moment!

That weight difference was a real problem for Parker. I expect Zhang to come in a bit lighter next time. But still pick Parker to win. He has more experience against good fighters and a better engine than 40 year old Zhang.

Why not Fury? Fury struggled against Wallin. Also Fury is looking old to me. He couldn't really adjust against Ngannou to do anything other than survive. A lot of people thought he lost that fight. Fury also very very rarely fights top-10 fighters so people think he is better than he is

these rematch clauses are getting old. it wasnt even a title fight, i dont want to watch that again
