    Joyce was up on 1 scorecard, what a joke.

    I thought Joyce won the third and I gave him 5 but it was a close round mostly Zhang stopped doing much down the stretch

    So has Zhang been avoided then? Southpaw with big power no world title shots. I think he would have been trouble for a few previous champs
    That’s some performance by a 39yo.

    Very poor performance fom Joyce, all he had to do was avoid the big punches early and wear down a guy with a very poor gas tank. Disappointing.

    Feel for Joyce listening to his post fight interview, he's a good guy hopefully he's not too hurt and recovers. He don't need to be taking too many fights like this

    Zhang is a genetic beast. He made Joyce look frail and small in there.

    He mastered his counter left hand and finally learned to pace himself.

    The HW division just got turned on its head once again.

    Highly doubtful, he didn't beat him in the WSB and still wouldn't.

    Had it been allowed to continue I'm sure Joyce would of taken over, but his eye was clearly shut. It's an unsatisfactory ending if your a Joyce fan but I personally don't have a problem with the stoppage.

    This bird asking the questions is intolerable. Basic , low effort questions any moron could ask.

    Joyce's chin is solid. He ate punches that have and would have dropped anyone else tonight.

    Joe was too predictable.
