    Warren has his own army.

    When Joshua lost to Ruiz, Warren's army was ecstatic calling it the end of Matchroom.

    No meltdown
    No crying
    Only his first loss, took it well.
    Entertaining fight unlike the Franklin fight which would send a GLASS EYE to sleep, True Geordie said on his channel lol.

    Eggie and Duckua certainly have NO WHERE to run. The shouts of fight Fury are getting louder by the day.

    His eye closed up because he’s a face fighter and Zhang couldn’t have missed him if he tried. He walked into punches because that’s what he does.

    Joe’s idea of changing the game plan would be turning the other cheek … so Zhang would have just closed his other eye.

    Great performance from Zhang. Really big shock. I thought it would be an easy nights work for Joyce.

    I said after the first or second Usyk defeat that Joshua should go and fight Zhang in China. That’s massive now! I’d try and get that tied in, in the summer if I was Joshua.

    Jesus Christ. Said it before bizarre how people cheer on a promotional outfit like a football team, either one

    Fair play to Joyce by the way. Very gracious and respectful in defeat.

    Congrats on admitting you were wrong. So was I, while still thinking it was a tough fight. There'll be plenty of people saying I told you so who didn't.
    Again good one.

    Did you see Hearn's Instagram post?

    I'd love to see you spin that one

    It can make the forum unreadable at times. This is for both set of 'fans', its just that the Matchroom disciples are louder so it may seem they are being targeted more

    In a way it’s probably good for the division that he lost last night.

    Had he won, he’d have called out all of the big 4 and potentially put a spanner in the works IF there’s any truth in that Saudi rumour.

    I did expect him to win last night, possibly with a few shaky moments early in the fight, but I never rated him quite as highly as others on this forum.

    He’s a very nice guy though, took the defeat really magnanimously.

    It's funny there are some accounts here that over the years are very suspicious. Never seem to comment, except to post QB promotional tweets. But were very active in liking every post/comment that is pro QB. Suspect that QB either has some bots or junior staffers on here.

    So it's quite funny when active posters who have a variety of opinions are accused of being matchroom employees.

    How about everyone stop slaying Joyce and congratulates Zhang for a hell of a job.

    Joe Joyce has always been cumbersome and easy to hit, he just came in vs someone who could really crack and his face couldn’t stand up to it.

    He is still the same fighter as he was.

    Did this post just start with 'oh well, QB fans.......'?

    No wonder I rarely read this forum anymore and have suddenly lost my appetite to read it this morning. Weirdos!
