    Fury doesn’t want any of that.

    It's actually mind blowing that Joe not only got back up, but that he managed to beat the 10 count.

    The way Zhang can slow the fight and stalk. Scary stuff. Great finish, nice an tidy right hook that Joe didn't think about

    Give Zhang a chance for the title because he deserves it, Hrgovic can wait...

    Fury or Usyk next. If not then Hrgovic rematch. But Zhang sitting out until he gets his shot would be totally fair and reasonable.

    Joyce's strategy is basically absorb punches until the opponent gets tired. Yea, that wont last very long in the HW division.

    Comes in too light for the first fight, comes in too heavy for the rematch and it completely messed up his slow-fast speed.

    I had a bad feeling as soon as I heard his ring walk music and even more when Big Bang came out to We Will Rock You looking super confident

    Damn fight ended as I was writing this lol.

    Props to Zhang.

    Absolutely can't wait to see what's next for him.

    No doubt it will be pulling teeth to get a top 5 guy to fight him now.

    Joyce still has plenty of options, and while normally I'd expect him to look a lot better once he's fighting a more normal fighter that he matches up well against, it's hard to say what Zhang has now taken from him physically and mentally.

    Intriguing future for both guys.

    Let's pray to the Boxing gods Zhang doesnt get frozen out of the big fights now.

    Zhang has Chinese power as he says. What’s there not to like in this guy.

    Impressive Zhang, humble guy would be good to see him matched up with AJ next or Ruiz.

    Yes, call out the big dosser. Now to dangerous lefties that want him. Zhang is a problem for these big dudes with his blazing straights shots, and a hook that you don't expect after watching for the left.
