Zhang MingyangvsAlonzo Menifield

But then Johnny Walker put a stop to that momentum in Shanghai, catching him with ground and pound in the second round. Alonzo Menifield is the definition of a dangerous dude, but he's been on a rough stretch lately. Carlos Ulberg starched him in 12 seconds back in May 2024, which is still one of the fastest knockouts you'll see. Then Azamat Murzakanov got him out of there in round two. He bounced back with a split decision over Julius Walker in February and a unanimous decision against Oumar Sy in June, but then Volkan Oezdemir caught him clean and finished him in under 90 seconds in November.

When Atomic lands, fights end, but his defense has been getting exposed. This is a classic striker versus striker battle where both guys have serious power. Zhang's been hunting finishes with elbows and punches, landing 47 to 61 percent of his strikes in those early blitzes. Menifield throws heavy leather but only connected on 29 percent against Oezdemir and 24 percent against Murzakanov. The question is whether Zhang's aggressive style walks into something big or if he can time Menifield first.
