    :deal: Absolutely nothing to guard against the right hook. Too slow to react, Zhang just did basic set ups and combos. His IQ is 10 levels above Joyce. Gotta love combo punching at HW too.

    Imagine if Top Rank built this guy instead of that bum Taishon Dong. He’d be a billionaire.

    We need to see Zhang fight for a belt.

    He has more than earned it.

    I think Zhang is just a bad matchup for Joe, I like the fella but felt that unless a radical strategy change occoured then the result would be the same, I didn't think it would be this quick though, great punch though it folded him like a deck chair.

    Nothing AJ already beats him in the amateurs, and also KD him. Imagine though what he will do to the Gypsy Queen.

    Zhang look good but a lot of this had to do with Joyce being easy to hit. Zhang always has a chance cause of his power. Would love to see him against AJ, Wilder, Fury, Ruiz, etc

    Yea, Joyce's career lived & died by that. Can't have a shitty, slow defense at HW and not get cracked.
