Round-by-Round: Joe Joyce vs. Zhang Zhilei | BT Sport - 15 April 2023

[Controversial]

Joyce looks slower than ever

[skanksta]

10-9 Zhang won R1 fairly comfortably.

[Monzon83]

Zhang is going to gas badly as this fight progresses i reckon he's put everything into these 2 rounds.

[MightyWarrior]

Damn I had Zhang ko2 @ 80-1

[My T Sharp]

Great reffing to help Joyce

[Kilburn]

Joyce rocked in the second but seems fine now. Needs to get that work rate going and keep Zhang honest.

[Ruthless-RKO]

2-0 Zhang

Joyce was in trouble there

[Sweet Dick Willie]

Fück, man!

[qatarm]

Joe looking like he’s going to get stopped.
I thought the ref helped him out in Rd 2

[polecateddy]

Maybe he just got old! Mind you the Chinese fighter is even older.

[ashall2]

Wtf was the ref doing after that massive Zhang punch

[qatarm]

Better 3rd from JJ but he’s still getting tagged hard

[Kilburn]

Better third from Joyce, lots of punches thrown and landed, looking more like himself.

[My T Sharp]

Fascinating fight

[Grilling Machine]

2-1 Zhang, but he looks to be tiring already.

[polecateddy]

Sounds like anyone betting on 1-6 for Zhilei might be crossing some fingers!

[Rob3_142]

Much better from Joyce. Weathered the storm first 2, then started impose himself. Zhang huffing and puffing back end of 2, and failed to capitalise with some good pressure.

Major wobbles from Joyce we haven't seen before, but he'll finish it from here.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Better round.

2-1 Zhang

[ashall2]

Joyce is a likeable bloke but overrated as hell. Said it the other day so isn’t a reaction to his poor start before anyone says

[ashall2]

Joyce lost too much muscle? Not taking punches as well as he usually does.

[Controversial]

As commenters just said Joyce’s eye could be an big problem as the rounds go on

[MightyWarrior]

Joe’s in trouble here, he needs a break through marking up badly, He’s going to get knocked out of here

[Rob3_142]

Probably an equal third, but Joyce gets this Chinese fella thinking twice when he lands a combo or puts pressure on.

[Kilburn]

Joyce’s left eye not looking clever either now.

[My T Sharp]

Zhang going to collapse with exhaustion
