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

[rd350lc]

Zhang bangs everybody.

[BigEars]

Stopped, they had to stop it, his eye is a mess

The only thing strange is Joyce seemed to correctly answer the doctors' question of how many fingers.
Not saying it was a bad stoppage, it was rapidly getting worse and a man's sight is more important.

[SAPFO]

Good stoppage.


I’d like to see more is Big Bang. Nice hard sharp punches. Get fitter though you fat Chinese pudding.

[joshj909]

£200. Thanks Zhang

[Betro09]

Wow. Great performance by Zhang.

[Sweet Dick Willie]

...

[KiwiRider]

Not bad this Zhang fella is he, big hard fcuker

He was gassing after 4 though

[samwbr]

Fury v Zhang now.

[MightyWarrior]

Heavyweight champion my arse

[Grilling Machine]

I had Joyce a round up at the time of the stoppage, but they had to look after that eye.

Absolute respect to the man for taking this fight when he didn't have to. Zhang deserves an immediate shot at a top name next.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Foster did not wanna stop that..

[Controversial]

Joyce never looks sensational but he looked very average tonight

[KiwiRider]

£200. Thanks Zhang

I trusted the chin, and avoided the major odds on offer

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fury v Zhang now.

No doubt. He’d have to vacate the interim belt

[Monzon83]

Hopefully this ends the Joyce is the boogeyman that everybody is avoiding nonsense i keep reading.

Fella is a heavy bag on legs who's just been stopped by a 40 year old.

[Rob3_142]

First few rounds did the damage. Got the swelling started early and then kept putting pressure on it. We all thought Joyce could walk through anything, but the chin wasn't the problem here, it's a matter of protecting your other assets.

We've all seen the vulnerability, but we thought he could outwork his opponent and put them on the backfoot.

[MasterG]

I’m Pretty sure he told him how many fingers he was holding up

The DR whispered to the ref. Properly said 'its your decision'

[ashall2]

Show me that fat smug wanker Sam Jones

[handsofstone]

Never good seeing fights stopped on injuries but what can you do, take nothing away from Zhang he was very good tonight, was tattooing Joyce with the southpaw left hand from the start, rocked him in the 2nd and by then Joyce was beginning to look a mess, Joyce was starting to get to work as he often does after a slow start but he was already swelling up on the eye and he wasnt putting any dent in Zhang who was still landing the better punch, that left couldn't miss, knew it was getting stopped in the 6th when the ref called doc a second time

[Ruthless-RKO]

Was it the weight??

[Oiky]

Ah come on Joyce what you doing

One thing being teak tough but you still got to move your head and not be static as static can be

Just took a hiding in there without even attempting to make that not the case he's grown on me lately but that was f*cking terrible

[Ruthless-RKO]

I’m Pretty sure he told him how many fingers he was holding up

The DR whispered to the ref. Properly said 'its your decision'

Yeh.. was definitely Fosters decision.

Broken nose too.

[MightyWarrior]

Foster did not wanna stop that..

Yeh he was heartbroken, the doc didn’t want to either, think he whispered to Foster “your call”

[Deserter]

Fury v Zhang now.

No doubt. He’d have to vacate the interim belt

Yep, agree with you guys. Already feels like an inevitability doesn’t it….

[Ruthless-RKO]

Whyte gonna call out Zhang now..
