    It should've been allowed to continue for another round or two. But ultimately, I couldn't care less. Just like when Vitali lost to Lewis. TKO's on damage inflicted, mean **** all in the grand scheme of things.

    Cod face Warren will be secretly pleased. He's always begrudgingly promoted Joyce since he broke Dubois' face.

    Mark my words. If there is a rematch Zhang knocks the stiff robot Joyce out.

    Does Joyce have a rematch clause?

    Perhaps he should move his head once in a while. You don't have to be Cus d'amato to see that flaw.

    Joyce always does poorly in the opening rounds. He should have taken that into account and stayed away with a plan to turn up the ante in the late rounds. Bad strategy. It was probably a bad strategy to drop the weight too. He had nothing on his punches.

    Rematch clause and Eddie talking about getting it on in China. Don't put Joyce back in the ring with Zhang. Just don't.

    I also had Joyce ahead three round to two after five. I had his activity level and landed punches giving him the edge over Zhang's occasionally landed power punches in each of the final three rounds.

    It's clear you're coping and seething here dude. You hyped the hell out of Joyce and he just lost a fight he was a heavy favorite to win in a pretty lopsided manner. Face it.... Joyce very likely blew his chance tonight, and at nearly 38 years old it's unlikely to come again for him.

    Nor did I, I didn't think it would ever come down to eye injury and a Doc's input with either fighter.

    You have to admire and respect Joyce after that.
    He stepped up in the hope of better things to come if he won, unlike the so called elites in the division who avoid having an actual fight.
