    Gutted for Joe, but it is was it is. The fight reminded of Rungvisai-Gonzalez II with the similarities and the way the fight ended.

    I doubt Zhang will face Usyk or Fury next. Seems like Top Rank will aim to sign him and there are some awesome fights to be made with Bob's stable. Zhang vs Makhmudov would be tremendous! :chuck:

    I honestly don't think weight would have mattered at all. Zhang is just a nightmare for Joe, plain and simple.

    He’s 38 and the only strength he had is now gone. The show’s over.

    I think Zhangs weakness will be fleet footed fighters who can give him angles and force him to lead, Joyce's style played right into his hands as he's upright and fairly slow

    It would only take one of those southpaw lefts or right hooks of Big Bang's to put the Dosser out cold

    If I was Zhang, I'd make AJ an offer he can't refuse within the next month.

    That's a fight where you accept a ridiculously low percentage of the cut, because of what that fight would do for you.

    A low cut of an AJ fight is still big money and likely on par or more than anything else he's gotten.... go in and destroy AJ, make worldwide news, and add much needed gravity to his position.

    Either that or ask his worth in negotiations and watch boxing sucker him for the next year n a half or two while he gets frozen out.

    Ouch. Zhang looked 10 years younger and 50kg lighter than what he is. Strong, fast and technical. Too much for clueless Joe. Hopefully his next fight will be for a proper belt and a big paycheck. He deserves it

    For sure he not got soo strong chin that many talking.
    Hrgovic took many shoots and still can win. Joyce destroyed 2 times and every time Zhang pit hands to work he looks like little shaken.

    Joyce got good chin but not chin that nobody cant crush...
