    Joyce looked kind of cute the way he was lying on the canvas NGL.

    I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I also don't think it's practical.

    They ain't putting AJ anywhere near Zhang without a belt on the line.

    I hate this, but you're correct. Most fighters who arent name fighters became name fighters by taking a small cut against a name fighter. No big draw fighter gets in the ring with an unknown unless hes getting the lions share of the purse. Unless you are Pacquiao and just have balls of steel like he did with Marquez.

    Steve Bunce just said that the Dubois that Joyce beat was as good as Zhang is now. Idiot.

    Big Bang is just the superior fighter but Big Joe should not have come in that heavy. Ideally he should have been about 265lbs.

    From Joe's body language when getting up I get the feeling he thought the same.

    Zhang could fight again next week. If Ngannou pulls a muscle get him in vs fatboy Fury.

    It did fold him like a deckchair, mate, but Joe took too many punches prior to the Haymaker anyway. Too easy to hit, even though Joe had his guard up for the Zhang left this time around.

    I can't help thinking it's the end of the road now for Joe as regards him actually progressing in his career.

    There was a lot missing tonight, for me, with Joe, his opponent aside here. Joe didn't look good in anyway tonight. A far cry from
    everything he did in the Parker fight....

    I'm not sure where Joe goes from here...

    Feel so sad for Joe man, taking the Zhang fight when he didn't need to has to be one of the worst decisions I've seen.

    What a beast Zhang is though, like a sniper.

    Haha.

    Fury would fake his own death if that happened.

    Ey Rumsfeld make a new video talking about the significance of a Chinese HW champion and how Fury can become the first billion dollar fighter off this. Thanks.

    Have to give credit to Big Bang for coming to Big Joe's backyard x 2 and stopping him twice though. That was a beautiful right hook and a spectacular KO. That shot would've felled an African elephant

    The upside is Joe took a clean KO loss early and not a prolonged clubbing that takes years off the clock. Joyce can come back and hopefully he does. There's plenty of winnibale fights out there for him. Zhang is out of his life now.
