So much for iron chin,

Banged out Zhang, Wilder or AJ would marmalise Joyce.

Brutal KO for Joyce, it was always gonna take a monster shot to iron him out and it was a huge right hook, Joyce moved well in the opener but didn't land anything, Zhang was already opening him up in the 2nd and Joyce reverted to the last fight, couldn't get off and couldn't get out of the way of Zhang's punches, fancied this to go later for Zhang or maybe even points but knew going into the 3rd it probably wasnt going that long, some KO by Big Zhang

That was a counter, with his non-dominant hand. Beautiful shot.

Not so sure about that one , Joe really is'nt looking too good rnd 2
I wasn't expecting that. I did think if JJ got through R3 it would start to turn in his favour because Chinaman had obvious stamina issues in the last fight. I didn't think Zhang would have the power to move Joyce even if he did land cleanly, how wrong can you be?

Agreed, its ridiculous how they must beat the home fighter a second time, same as Usyk vs Joshua

All it does is make the loser look even more out of their depth.

Wow.

Is Joyce a shell of himself - or was he never as good as we thought?

It’s almost like if you’re whole gameplan is absorbing then eventually you’ll get hit too hard

Is Joyce just no where near has good has he has been built up and made out to be , OR is Zhang a lot better than people thought , can't quite make my mind up on that one , probably a bit of both .

However the fight i would really like to see now is .....fatbelly shithouse , v Zhang the chinese destroyer

Zhang can punch, lots of first round and early wins, anyone that weight hitting you will hurt
