@abdullah1977 What's interesting about putting in the ring two fighters with about 20Kg difference ???

Wouldn't say JwP dominated, far from it...rounds 4-5 looked clearly in favor of Zambidis. which was surprising, because of the cut.
JWP has gaps in performance, seems to get tired...if Zambidis pushes him when he gets his breather, he's out. JWP makes good use of straight kicks to keep the distance, but has no great kicks on the whole, his boxing is limited, still apart from the straight jabs. He's not easy to knock out, but far from a complete fighter, just puts the skills he has in good use

Yodsaenklai Fairtex vs zambidis would be interesting

Both are excellent fighter but JWP was too good on the night. he dominted the fight using his reach and he controlled the tempo of the fight.

not necesarely zambidis is great but much shorter then jwp and his lims are much short then his nd since there wud be no grappling or clinch then zambidis wud not have chance

Parr beat him by punch and kick (and ring smarts), not many knees so i think he kinda would beat him under kickboxing .
Parrs hot at the moment and Zambo isnt, Parr is a better all round fighter.
