    You're far too rough man. Just a blanket Hrgovic and Zhang are both ****? Jesus i mean you may think some boxers are better but that's different. I think your bar is set too high.

    He'll bounce back with ease. I doubt he'll let this loss affect him all that much. It was just a southpaw and eye damage thing. Most can mentally deal with that far better than a straight up KO loss. It wasn't like what happened with Wilder against Fury or AJ against Ruiz.

    Joyce is still very much one of the very top fighters. Zhang was well suited to gamble for a win.

    Yes, I was thinking exactly the same. Zhang showed no stamina problems at all. He looked like he was able to control his stamina very well. I was surprised.

    How you gonna allow a 37 y/o interim champ who is one fight at worst away from becoming full champ to make a voluntary defence against a slick 20st southpaw counter puncher with murderous power in both hands? Such a needless and stupid risky fight to take

    I had a feeling that a fast starter and big puncher was a recipe for disaster for Joyce

    Joyce's right eye is forever grateful you weren't the ref.

    The reason Zhang won is because he boxed Joyce's face off.

    Got complacent. Relied on the formula too much when a bit of x factor was called for. Zheng for me is a plodder with a hard punch, but still without a winner's mentality. Good, interesting fight.

    There's really a clause here? The Hearn special.

    No.... I'm just calling it like I see it. Neither are all that impressive, and had Zhang not busted Joe's eye early, most of this RBR would be saying, wow... Zhang has a terrible gas tank, he's ****... oh well... this win means nothing for Joyce.

    Well we were rooting for Joyce and it became hard to watch. We all knew that was the last round and we didn’t know how he could take another minute. Absolutely battered. Joyce didn’t complain, says it all.
