    Amazed me to see anyone pick Joyce to win this fight.

    The first fight was so conclusive that it was a given how this would end.

    Joyce now though should really call it a day.

    Joyce can fight a lot of small HW after this.

    Joyce is a good guy so hopefully he has put some money aside to enjoy in retirement.
    Listening to him speak he sounds like he has suffered quite a lot of head trauma and the right hand wouldn't have helped.
    Fish eyes is running out of heavyweights now...just need Luke Fury to get his clocked cleaned now for a clean sweep

    I still think it's Wilder but Zhang can bang for sure.

    :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
