Round-by-Round: Zhilei Zhang vs. Joe Joyce II | TNT Sports - 23 September 2023

[Neil Gee]

This looks one sided just from the body language without even looking at the records.

[handsofstone]

This match up is horrendous, even the Summers fight was poor

[jameswilson]

Joyce's eye didnt look too great in that pre fight interview did it?

It did not !

Really? That really doesn't bode well

He has a scar on the other eye for the one that got shut.

[Kilburn]

I missed that - what's the plan for Yarde? Summers then who?

It feels like there has been something of a red carpet rolled out for him tonight, but personally I would say his time has been and gone.

[rd350lc]

Tnt got priests doing ringside interviews now , that's novel .

thought the same for a second! maybe for the 40 stone of beef rolling in soon

[Monzon83]

Is this guy allowed to punch Yarde?

[jameswilson]

Get up as he’s counting 10 knowing full well he’s getting stopped.

[handsofstone]

Perfect prep for Bivol next, LIONS IN THE CAMP

[jameswilson]

When he starts fast he usually gets these pub fighters out very early. A but like Shannon Briggs who has tons of KOs in 1 or 2 on his resume.

[ThereByTheGrace]

It's target shooting. We all know yarde isn't good enough

[Nightmare Roy]

Well.at least the main event should start soon which is what I'm waiting for, knackered need some sleep.

[ThereByTheGrace]

It's really amazing how many folk are beat before they even start. No belief

[Monzon83]

Yarde stops bum. Commentary about his amazing power.

[Kilburn]

Ah okay fair enough so the winner of Buatsi v Azeez after Summers.

That seems like a reasonable plan.

Will Aloys Youmbi be on before the main event? Possibly off TV.

[Monzon83]

Ah okay fair enough so the winner of Buatsi v Azeez after Summers.

That seems like a reasonable plan.

You think that will happen? My guess is no chance, few more bums and wait for Artur to jack it in at LHW before trying to get a shot at a vacant title.
That’s the plan.

[MasterG]

This event not a sell out by any means. Plenty of seats available

Has Aloys Youmbi been on yet mate?

[Neil Gee]

allegedly looking smug. It's all down to you, Frank. Well done.

[Kilburn]

Plenty of head movement from Joyce there while on the pads.

[MasterG]

Load of British boxing fans given Chinese flags to wave about
Imo goes to show the popularity of Joe Joyce, but could also mean a shite undercard.

Getting the popular pop songs on now to get the crown going for main event

[jwfg]

Plenty of head movement from Joyce there while on the pads.

He'll start the fight like that, but after half a dozen shots will stop. Then he'll get a rollicking between rounds and do it for the first thirty seconds of each round. No way he wins this tonight.

[skanksta]

Don't agree.

Last fight was the worst performance of his career, doesn't need to improve THAT much to flip the fine margins.
ZZ is 40 and has evidence of gassing. JJJ has golem cardio...
Reckon JJJ sets a pace and stops him late.

I doubt even his corner think it could make much difference against Zhang.

I'm putting my chips on the eye not become a problem this time, and Joyce outworking him, by doing what he always does.
