    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

    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.
