    Ball is like a Duracell bunny. He looks like he could do 30 rounds.

    Vargas is just right to demand the money

    Just turned on the boxing - are there little to no fans in the arena?

    I’m gonna lean towards a Zhang KO win but it’s hard to call.

    Zhang is old.

    Zhang up to round 6. Parker any round after that!

    Have a feeling Zhang is going to flatten him.

    Wow what an atmosphere!!! Think I heard a lad in Kildare shouting coming across on the microphones around the ring.

    I think Zhang spent the first two rounds just figuring Parker out, Parker might have been at the same thing.

    Parker looks so tiny/weak compared to Zhang

    Zhang is actually a bit disappointing here so far. Needs to do a bit more

    He knows his gas tank is weak

    You'd expect Parker to win this now. Zhang looks tired already.

    Down again. Zhang needs to press it now

    One flush shot and Parker will be gone, he can't cope with the power at all, he's only saving grace is Zhang's inability to press.

    Really shouldn't have the lights on the wild crowd like that. Seen one lad get excited he unfolded his arms for a second.

    Hrigovic must have some chin cos he took lumps against Zhang all night and never blinked.

    Six rounds to four in favour of Parker for me but the two knock-downs make it even. So I think Parker needs the last two to win it because I feel if it's even Zhang will get the decision.

    Going to be very tight on the score cards, can see a split decision Zhang win

    Zhang very little fight in him. One paced lazy sod.

    Two point win for Parker is my opinion but after what happened with the scorecards in the last fight it wouldn't suprise me if Zhang got it.

    Parker is an odd fighter. He’s very unspectacular but he has some really impressive wins on his CV now.

    Assuming he doesn’t get robbed here

    Thought Parker could have pressed more in the end, Zhang had nothing left for the last few rounds, could come back and bite him.

    Delighted for Parker and Andy Lee. Lee has improved him a lot, incredible how he got up from that first haymaker.

    Deserved in the end, its just too late in the day for Zhang, 40 years old with no gas tank.

    Zhang looked really shocked at the result

    shame Parker has to do this all again in the rematch

    If you have that power and that gas tank, you gotta throw, throw, throw early on.

    Thought Parker deserved it. Zhang looked poor tonight. Very one paced. Perhaps Joyce flattered him.

    People were really overrating Zhang. Joyce was a great matchup for him which made him look good.

    Todd Grisham is absolutely awful. He is supposed to be the play-by-play commentate and as such offers his opinion far too often.

    AJ needs to win impressively.

    I think he can

    but nobody should be surprised if AJ gets knocked out.
