    The fight was one sided. Not all the rounds were. Learn the difference.

    Zhang had the better work. And he did it with one hand. Joes shots just kept hitting his arms. Wasnt consistnently countered? Mate it was his countering which ended the fight!!! Take up Rugger.

    Not in rounds 3-4. His output was highly diminished in those. If you give those to Joyce it's 2-2 and you're arguing the toss over one more round on a single score card. Hardly the world ending, let's all sharpen up our pitchforks and go on a witch-hunt controversy you're all trying to paint it as.
    I'm not even saying Joyce won those rounds, just acknowledging they were competitive and you can see where the judge was coming from. I'm guessing you fellas are just bored.

    Nah we just know boxing. Its not about workrate its about being effective. Joe got wobbled more in that fight than all his others together, got a nasty facial injury, and his output got topped by single left hands. What are you not getting? Joe got battered badly mate.

    Joyce didn't land more than a couple solid punches the whole fight. The absolute most you could give Joyce would be one round.

    You clearly don't understand boxing scoring. It's round by round, not a vague overall impression of the entire contest.

    Ring generalship and aggression take precedence when there is an absence of consistent effective clean punching. Watch rounds 3-5 back.

    Someone can put up a valiant effort and theres no shame in that but still be completely outclassed. Thats what happened. Joe gave his all, hats off to him but he was readily beaten.

    I haven't disputed that so not sure why you've posted it? Did you quote the wrong person?
