    Nobody sticks him in with a prospect.

    Joyce has to fight Hurgo

    Both men will not get fights. Both too high risk low reward.

    So fight each other. It's simple.

    Big Baby Anderson would finish him off.

    Nah he would match up much better against most other HWs, Big Bang was all wrong for him and he has the size, power and skills to do that to Big Joe. Very few current HWs could do that to Big Joe

    Warren didn't notice Joyce being badly hurt in previous round, although he added 20 secs on the stool.

    People questioning Joyce's chin now? Stop lol. That punch was insane. And Zhang had landed a ton of clean shots before that.

    I kinda wondered if Joe could've gone on, but man. I feel like this fight only ended one way. If it went on this might have killed him.

    Glad Zhang won but I'm feeling bad for Joe. I dunno if anyone saw it ending this quickly.

    I said after the first fight he should have just left it.

    DAMN! What a punch! Zhang deserves a title shot ASAP!

    I wonder if Joe Joyce will bother continuing his boxing career.

    It's funny. 290 pound puncher. Literally a FAST proportioned version of butterbean. Could knock out a horse.

    Ayee I just made myself a pretty penny. No idea how people picked Joyce to win. None of the reasons why he lost were capable of being improved.

    Slow as ****, with slow feet, slow hands, slow reflexes, zero head movement, horrible defence and a horrible fight IQ. Not a big puncher either so can't even scare Zhang enough to keep him off. He wasn't capable of avoiding or connecting punches before and his dumb team thought adding an extra 25lbs and making him EVEN slower and easier to hit would benefit him? Nonsense. Zhang isn't a "bad matchup" for Joyce, he's just the vastly superior fighter.

    IMO Joyce did not look confident at all going into this rematch you could tell by the first round that he was very wary of Zhang’s power
