    Last night was a bit like Froch-Groves 1 with an injury added. Froch was dung for the first few rounds and if he'd been cut or something early, nobody would have complained at a similar stoppage. The fact he came through and looked stronger (let's ignore Foster's decision for a moment) shows over the course, any outcome was still possible.

    If it wasn't for that eye injury Joyce could have been well in the fight. Rematch is the only way we'll find out, and since Zhang ain't getting a mandatory shot anytime soon, why not?

    If Fury intends to fight in the summer, I don’t see how he can fight anyone other than Zhang. Both signed to Queensbury and fights does insane PPV numbers in the Asian market. Does Fury take the fight though?

    Oh Aye absolutely. I've no doubt whatsoever that Joyce knocks him out in a rematch.

    I'm sure Franklin is on his radar. As long as Pulev has a chin and a jab, Fury looks elsewhere. Ruiz depends upon what shape Fury thinks he will show up in. If he showed to the weigh in in great shape, Fury would say it was a conspiracy between Wlad, Vitali, Haye, and Chisora to get rid of him, cite a long sick relative and pull out.

    Exactly. Franklin, Pulev, Ruiz all top quality opponents.

    Pulev's jab is so dangerous especially against tall opponents

    Lol this must be a troll you called Pulev terrible the day, Ruiz has been derided constantly by yourself and you know what youve said about Franklin when Whyte and AJ had him as an opponent.

    This top quality trolling btw.

    Zhang just had a fight that wasn't hard for him, but of course he'll take some rest and can be back in maybe 3 months. But making Filip wait 3 more will prolong his inactivity period, at the same time, he's mandatory for Usyk, so he'll have to choose between the two fights maybe or have them in a short period. So it's unclear how it can go for him until the end of the year, but it's about time to take some fight in the upcoming 2 months.

    Halt to it? Slow got battered mate. End of.

    Turned his back, nearly ko'ed within 6 minutes, was getting rocked by single left hands, had his eye punched in so much it closed up... the likes of you and others like to talk that it was a forgone conclusion that Zhang was dead meat after 6. Joe would be blind if that carried on.
