    I think Joyce might outlast Zhang after a thrilling fight with both men hurt. Can't wait for this.

    I would by no means underestimate Zhang who is determined to beat Joyce and they will certainly test each other's chin, this will be a fight between two goliaths, good luck to them and may both of them get out of the ring alive and well...

    Got tickets for this one, really looking forward to it.
    Zhang can really hit hard but he seems to struggle with cardio anything after 6. My money is on Joe to take him out round 7 or 8.

    Ultimately the Chin is stronger than the Punch, so i see Joyce TKO round 7 (Brit stoppage)

    Rooting for Big Bang Zhang because of the nickname.

    I'm rooting for the underdog Zhang to amaze us with a TKO in my heart, but my head says Joyce stops him late. Worth a cheeky bet at 7 to 1.

    @Rumsfeld you stayed pretty diplomatically neutral on both of their latest fights in a qualitative sense when describing them in the vid; curious whom do you rate as the higher value opponent between Hrgović and Parker?

    It's a tough read. Hrgovic is still so unproven at heavyweight, at least as I see it. But at this point in time... I'd probably favor Hrgovic over Parker, but I'm not sure if that necessarily makes him a higher value opponent.

    Very fired-up for this one. It had almost slipped past my radar in terms of how close it is, just around the corner.

    Zhang's definitely up for this for sure.

    I honestly think we're gonna see a fantastic drama filled scrap here. Plus both fighters are so likeable.

    I'm not wavering one single jot on my prediction of a JJ stoppage victory, but I know Zhang will give it his all.

    I can't bloody wait.
