Joe Joyce v Zhilei Zhang 2

[Mark TKO]

I cannot believe all those pundits who honestly thought Joyce would win this rematch.

That was way too easy. Career over

[Primo Carnera]

Joyce needs to retire. He takes way too many punches to the head. As for Zhang, well before these fights , many people were touting Joyce for a title shot. Let’s see if the same energy now goes to Zhang now he has absolutely battered Joyce twice!

joe down at the end of the third. looked like he quit

No that was a heavy shot he took. Amazed he was not knocked out cold.

[Spicoli]

That vaunted punch resistance evaporated off the 1-2. Buzzed early but like watching a huge water dam crack and spider wed to burst instantly. Who would have thought...40 yr old Zhang scoring bigger brick kos than Wilder

Same. Most logical fighter in line for me right now. Some fight, and some diddle and whine.

[Primo Carnera]

“Dignity ,Democracy, Honesty” those are the words on the WBO Interim belt.

[Primo Carnera]

This is what pisses me off. “Joe didn’t look right” why do they have to make excuses ?

i think he could have beaten the count. but the outcome was obvious at that point

[Master]

Frank Warren trying to set Zhang against Usyk not Fury. Wonder why?

i'd like to see the fight with oleksandr

Good work from Joyce it's hard work making Zhang look good and he's done it twice!

[Spicoli]

man has genuine skills though. Joyce moves like he's back on dial-up but Zhang is a thinking fighter, power in both hands with genuine momentum. In a boring division full of excuse makers with no commitment Zhang is a head above right now.

[Dark Lord Al]

why is Zhang 40 and we are just hearing about him ? he is way better than Chisora, Whyte, Doubois, i would give him a good change against Fury or Usyk.

[Mark TKO]

I'd like to see Zhang in with usyk or joshua. Let's hope the guy who was my favourite fighter two years ago just gets kayoed next month and fucks off from the sport altogether and we get some other fights made.

If I say it’s because he’s not English it makes me racist apparently. To be fair @palmerq does make a decent point in that Joyce does make Zhang look a bit better than he probably is.
He lost to Hrgovic on points and if memory serves me correct , there may have been a bit of debate about that decision , but it’s a marker to how good he is.
