    Nah bro, Joyce is a walking punching bag. Dude makes Brandon Rios look like Pernell Whitaker.

    Credit to both these warriors for taking this matchup.

    Crazy to think how I was seeing Joyce as almost an all time great in fantasy matchups before their first fight. Crazy how quickly things change in boxing.

    Was hoping Joyce could make this a better fight than it sounds like he's doing thus far. Maybe he can turn it up later.

    Zhangs an interesting force and I look forward to seeing what he does from here on out.

    War both these warriors.

    Great shot by Zhang. Joyce was looking for the left and didn't even see the right that got him.

    Zhang now next in line for Usyk if Fury/Usyk doesn't happen.

    Nobody in the division is brave enough to fight him now.

    He'll be stuck on undercards fighting Charles Martin or something

    I'm joking. Fury boxes his head off. Can't fight Zhang.

    Joe Joyce, robbed of a gold medal and he's not had anything his way as a professional. Deserves a lot of credit. Never complained. Entertaining to watch even though he's very slow and offers his face as the target for his opponents.

    The first fight was conclusive. There wasn't any need to take the rematch.
