Zhang is quick, and if JP is lunging to land his punches, he'll get hit with a short left as he gets in close. Better, I think he needs to go to the body in the first half of the fight. I haven't seen Zhang tested there yet, and he's a bit flabby with a big target on his belly. But, JP needs to make sure he covers up.
Every trainer I've heard in the corner says that their fighter needs to go to the body. Does my head in. But, in this case, JP does. More importantly, however, is that he needs to keep Zhang off the front foot. Zhang says he's going to pressure JP like JJ did. Meet Zhang in the center ring and don't back up. That's the time to rip the body.
