    Only a matter of time. The difference was power and a little smarts to throw more sneaky blows. Dubois and Parker landed everything they threw on Joyce too.

    Zhang has to be the hardest puncher at HW

    Zhang was the boss, all the plaudits to Big Bang.

    Joyce was shown lacking, if he continues then it will be solely for the money, suggest he retires and keeps his brain cells intact.

    No heavyweight would survive that right hook he ate.

    Fork sake! They picked one of the worst stylistic match ups for Big Joe out there for a voluntary, a 20st murderous punching skilled man mountain southpaw and they they di an immediate rematch with him after getting stopped in the first fight. Wish he'd never taken this fight in the first place.

    Feel so bad for Big Joe his team should never have allowed him to face Big Bang when he was already in the mandatory position.

    Amazed me to see anyone pick Joyce to win this fight.

    The first fight was so conclusive that it was a given how this would end.

    Joyce now though should really call it a day.

    Joyce can fight a lot of small HW after this.

    Joyce is a good guy so hopefully he has put some money aside to enjoy in retirement.
    Listening to him speak he sounds like he has suffered quite a lot of head trauma and the right hand wouldn't have helped.
    Fish eyes is running out of heavyweights now...just need Luke Fury to get his clocked cleaned now for a clean sweep

    I still think it's Wilder but Zhang can bang for sure.
