I don't trust Rose in a 5 rounder.

Zhang power is overrated tho

Rose can beat anyone in the top 10...and lose to anyone in the Top 10. It depends which "Rose" shows up. But, i think Zhang beats her 4 out of 5 times. Picking Zhang.

Curious to see how it plays out. Wouldn't be surprised to see a close decision for either one but Rose's conditioning will definitely need to be on point.

Maybe the “power”is overrated... I mean Joanna got caught multiple times and finished the fight.

However, It’s more about the physicality and pressure. That’s what I don’t think Rose will be able to handle for the whole night and will eventually break. Zhang isn’t going to “fold” and will be there the entire fight. She proved in that in the Joanna fight.

So yea, the one shot knock out power might be overrated...but that physicality isn’t and I think the physical strength/size difference between her and Rose is going to be too much.

I agree....Her conditioning is suspect at this point. Her tank was on empty at the end of that last Fight against Jessica. If that fight goes one more round she doesn’t make it to the end most likely. So that definitely has me concerned heading into this fight because Zhang isn’t going to fade.

One thing that Rose does have going for her that I don’t see mentioned much is that she does appear to have more pop in her hands then Joanna and Zhang proved in that fight that she is there to be hit....So ya never know I guess.

Yeah if Rose can keep her footwork solid the entire fight and not make too many mistakes she can win. I wouldn't bet on it happening though.
