    Big Bang Zhang looks like he's 60.

    This interests me much more than, say, Fury-Usyk because, of course, those two won't be fighting each other anytime near soon.

    Joyce better be careful early. He has been down in the amateurs and Zhang packs a mean punch.

    If he gets caught flush early, he will go down. I don’t care how good that chin is. The best strategy is to tire Zhang out early and then attack in the middle rounds.

    Zhang is a live dog in this. No way would I write him off.

    If he lands that in Joyce's chin, it is impossible not to affect him.

    He has dynamite in that left.

    Big Bang Zhang is a great nickname.

    I see Joyce wearing him down and stopping him mid fight.

    Zhang couldnt stop Hrgovic.....are all those predicting Zhang by KO saying that Hrgovic has a better chin than Joyce??

    A quick look through Zhangs resume tells me he has fought 1 decent fighter.....and he lost it!! Dont get me wrong i think he beat Hrgovic.....but the version of Hrgovic he fought that night was dreadful. I honestly see Joyce battering him enough that the referee steps in. Ive got Joyce by TKO in the 7th or 8th

    Yeah Joyce at the very worst has a chin as good as Hrgovic. I don't see single isolated counters being able to stop Joyce, Zhang is going to have to grind Joyce down if he's to stop him and even if Zhang can land flush often I see his gas tank giving out before Joyce's chin does.
