The fact that 2 of the cards only had Zhang up by one and the 3rd card had Joyce winning was a disgrace….
Everything is rigged for money
Judges must've been listening to the commentary... "oh, its really impressive that he can take a shotgun blast to the face and stay standing. Great work from Joyce"
Madness!!!
Mate everything is rigged for money, boxing is massively rigged, quite obvious when they made the fury v wilder fight a draw just to get a rematch to make more money, fury won 10 rounds, 9 minimum 🤣 9 to wilders 3 rounds clearly isn't a draw
If it was a match room card the internet would freak out. Just like fisheyes they all go quiet when it's on a promotion they like
@@tajsingh7701 Score 5 rounds not 6. I had 1-2 Zhang 3-4 Joyce and 5th Zhang....2 Judges had it correct IMO
Zhang is like someone's uncle at a family gathering beating up the biggest nephew in a play fight that's turned rough.
Lmfao 😂
Uncle zhang IS the godfather 😊😅
he looks like an uncle
😅😅😆😆😆
i love this call, but its soooo old man cmon🤦🏻♂️
Can't say I'm surprised with the outcome, Zhang is an incredible talent. His straight left is nuts
He gained weight,was much more agile inside early career..If he did roadwork,he's a handfull
@@aldenunion he seriously could be a big problem for the division, I feel like he's been overlooked a lot especially after being robbed in his last fight. Would love to see him fight a bigger name next like Ruiz or even Joshua
Can't say I'm surprised with your surname
@@plejady what does that mean lol
Don't forget the right hook
Zhang is an absolute unit, pure juggernaut!
Zhang fei
@@protectorategeneral liu bei
No he's not.
When the Juggernaut meets The Great Wall of China
lu zhushen@@protectorategeneral
Zhang made Joyce look small and fragile. He's the real juggernaut
Fury is next for zhang
He certainly damaged him and quickly
Joe looked slow and weak he has no venom in his punches, the other guy made him look amateurish
Joyce must stay away from ruiz and usyk cuz ez work
Fury scared of Oleksandr!
Zhang is never in a boring fight. Great fighter, hope we see him a few more time before retirement. Maybe even a title shot.
Well if AJ and Ruiz deserved title shots Zhang certainly does.
Being 39 yrs old, he must get his shot after this win
Well Joyce was next in line for a title shot so that means Zhiang is now the one in line for the title shot if I was him I would wait it out.
if he gets fitter he will be hard to beat,good chin and fast hands with power.
Zhang does not waste his punches. But he looked to be a little off in the 5th and resumed punching in the 6th
OG Zhang fought his way to where he is at. Salute to this man, nothing but respect.
It's the first time I'm hearing about Zang and he's has already toppled a potential heavyweight contenter! This world has talents in every field who've never been discovered and sadly some who'll never be known.
yes.thanks the match let me know zhang，wanna see more zhang's game ，he is the so great player！
I was also impressed that one of Zhang's corner men picked him up at the end. Zhang is a big dude!
Bro is in hospital for a herniated disc😆
I feel sorry for joyce he should have had his big payday. It was hard too watch him get bust up i reslly like him. But this was like watching a fighter in 0.75x speed vs zheng at normal speed. So mutch more powerfull and faster. Also couldnt avoid that left hand all night it literilly could miss. Im a big fan of joyce hes a warrier and i hope he can bounce back from thid he deserves a big payday!
That guy deadlifts
His head is like dustbin.
Lol same here. Dude is like 280+ lb
Respect to the composure and sportsmanship of Joyce. He accepted the waving off without flinching or protest. Went to congratulate the opponent right away.
Yeah I think he was glad it was stopped to b honest
Very much agree but equally I think he was probably relieved with the mercy
Joice to slow no chansen against Joshua or Usyk
he looked so flat from the start, something was wrong

@@joshdavies4054 Zang was what was wrong .😂
Never seen a Chinese HW boxer at this level before 😮 But this dudes legit! And he's scary good 💪🏾🔥
I know, he is the real deal bro. Also, on my channel, Ive done a video which analyses the Joyce vs Zhang fight, check it out!
won't be long, he is over 40.
This guy is the runner up of the 2008 Olympics
Better than Zou Shiming and he held belts + olympic gold medals
yeah he was helping to train alex pereira for his fight with izzy adesana
Not many people would rate a Chinese fighter. Neither did I, especially in the Heavyweight Division. Zhang is one tough man who fires fast hard shots.
He is a legitimate title challenger.
My biggest surprise was at the conclusion of the fight Zhang never had any swelling or marks on his face.
If the asians were generally more bigger sized with larger genetic pool, they'd be more of a threat. They are more competitive in the smaller divisions.
zhang is real beast
Zhang was brilliant, Joe was brilliant in defeat, referee was brilliant with stoppage. Only ones who were out of order were the judges and the commentators, as usual.
He was not brilliant your reaching Neither looked great
I thought Joe was huge, damn Zhang's an absolute unit
He's a nobody, I bet the GOAT fury finishes him in 1 round.
@@flyingmonke I'm a fury fan, but be real with yaself, Zhang would cause so many issues for fury, alot more than what usyk would
Greedy goat just ran from a "middleweight"
@@flyingmonke Fury will probably fight Chisora again.
@@secondwindproductions5157 fury would end Usyk and Zhang on the same night, Chisora is a harder fight than these two honestly
Zhang is genuinely terrifying
The division is extremely poor stop the lie. Heavyweight division is a dump 💩
Fun Fact: He beat Andy Ruiz in the Olympic trials
This fight verified my feelings about Joyce. First , he is probably the SLOWEST punching heavyweight I have ever seen . He punches like he is under water. He holds his hands up but, they are apart leaving him open to straight shots down the middle which Zhang took full advantage of. I never saw Zhang before this fight. He fought perfectly in the first round. What surprised me was he actually looked a bit gassed in the second round! Mouth wide open and huffing and puffing already. Lucky for him Joyce was such an easy target. I enjoyed the fight and look forward to seeing Zhang again. Joyce on the other hand will have to be matched very carefully if he wants to win. I don't see much of a future for him. Just being honest.
I always felt the guy was overhyped after looking hes fights and Fury thought he has a chance against him (payday maybe) Not taking anything away from the guy but getting beaten up by a 40 years old man letting those punches just go straight in... Another AJ.... I think even AJ as bodybuilder boxer has a better Defense.
@@taneljaanson3456Well Joyce is 37 so getting beaten up by a 40 year old isn't remarkable.
I agree he's very slow...no skill at all
They have coming rematch this September 23, I guess it would be the same result.
Totally agree, Joyce is never a thrilling fighter, he has size and can beat most men in this world but at elite level looks waaaay too slow.
Crazy how slow Joyce looked compared to Zhang. Zhang was just sniping while Joyce just looked like he was chasing losses. Zhang looked so comfortable in there; gutted for Joe.
Exactly what I was thinking, he’s extremely slow
Just goes to show how good AJ and Jermell Charlo are. AJ beat top 10 after top 10. Only slipping up to Ruiz then won those belts back. Till he lost to a top 5 in Usyk. Because Joyce, Whyte, Fundora, Hurd, Williams, haven't been able to sustain those top level runs.
People act like everyone should be like Usyk but that's nearly impossible. We don't even know if Haney will keep up his run and AJ's is comparable to Loma's. Losing to Teo is like losing to Ruiz especially with how Teo got beat by Kambosos right after.
Jermell beat a bunch of top 15 contenders in his weight class. Suffered a robbery loss to Harrison and a draw with Casanto. There is no Usyk in his division (that would be Crawford) but he did what most of these hyped pros couldn't dream to do.
And I guarantee Franklin would be a hard fight for both of these guys. He would be outboxing Joyce and his output and headmovement could make him more of a challenge for Zhang. But people didn't want to give Joshua his due credit for schooling a top 15
poor training. camp tbh
Zhang has explosive power fast accurate punches. Joyce looked very slow with nothing on his punches, also most of the punches Joyce thrown were hitting Zhang gloves awful performance from Joyce
Big Bang’s straight left was an absolute masterpiece..amazing
Poor performance from juggernaut jammy Franklin would nockout joce in two rounds
@@okoegualethompsonutomi9396 what 😆 definitely a troll job
See Joyce getting badly ko’d in sparring on Inside Boxing Brain channel, leaked convo Joyce said he just wanted his abs to be visible for this east one?!
Such power, it was ridiculous. Reminds me of Mike Tyson's U bombs.
@@okoegualethompsonutomi9396 Not a boxing guy?
Zhang did his work in 2 rounds and then sat back to pick his teeth. From 3-6, he just saved his strength and pinged one eyed Joe in the eye after letting him throw every ten shorts. Excellent strategy for the 40years old man. I am 40. Zhang is my motivation. Blueprint to how one should approach almost everything in life. Do the hard work early.
Respect to the composure and sportsmanship of Joyce. He accepted the waving off without flinching or protest. Went to congratulate the opponent right away.👍
Congratulations to Big Bang Zhang. What an amazing performance, and powerful boxer he is.
Very impressed 👍
No. It's the most gentle heavy weight fight I've seen in years.
See Joyce getting badly ko’d in sparring on Inside Boxing Brain channel, leaked convo Joyce said he just wanted his abs to be visible for this east one?!
First time I ever heard of Zhang. Big Bang Zhang is quite possibly the best boxer name ever. Love it. BIG BANG ZHANG!!! lmao
That's the only way to say his name
I can't believe how slow Joyce Looked there, throwing punches and leaving himself wide open for too long, Fair play to Big Bang Zhang, that lad can hit hard
That’s nothing new hes always been slow like that
he didnt know where he was! pillow hands! nothing landing slow as hell in no position, i dont know what he thinkin, he need to get up in the middle land some power, he beating around the back of the ears
@Nevezla yea everything seemed light or just hitting the gloves, enormous power difference. Joe was so static too for a man who looks super fit
He has looked slow and robotic his entire career...has terrible footwork...and has always been defensively irresponsible. He literally has always fought this way😂😂😂.
He threw a punch a few months ago that's still not landed yet
Zhang s final combo finished his eye. Had to end there.
I want to see Zhang vs Fury 😮
slippery Fury won't take it .
It looks like that first round attack from Zhang stunned Joe for the rest of the fight
I agree mate, in fact when watching it back closely it actually appears that the right eye was damaged quite badly from that first heavy attack in the 1st ... well done to Zhang, but if, as they're suggesting Joyce's orbital bone was broken, how he made it to the 6th half blinded & without taking a count or even quitting as others have in the past is quite incredible! 👍👍👍
This was tough to watch, Joyce took a beating and by the look on his face clearly didn't want to continue, Zhang is a powerhouse.
Yeah he took a proper beating he didn't want to continue
he needs a better tactic than blocking shots with his face............
Yes he took a beating BUT he never quit he wanted to continue. Joyce is a fantastic fighter
@@adamoliver5589 Sorry man but he knew he couldn't win the fight at that point, no protest and clearly wanted out of there.
@@tastygravy6880 watch the stoppage again the doctor asked joyce how many fingers and joyce answered correctly the doctor stopped the fight not joe joyce
Hats off for standing by the decision to stop the fight. It's uncommon for a man to accept defeat today without throwing his hands up in some kind of demonstration of injustice.
Zhang is a beast.
Zhang won that from round one through to the stoppage. He was superior in every area - Joyce was really shown up in this fight.
I’ve always been amazed that Slow Jo has got this far tbh.
Literally the slowest puncher I’ve ever seen and robotic beyond belief
@@Dan-qk3mt he’d get exposed even worse against the likes of Fury/Usyk.
No power
@@Emanuel-bm9vn usyk beat him in the semi pro league
@@Dan-qk3mt yep, he's relied on durability but to date hadn't faced a decent puncher up until now.
Zhang is an animal. Technically and fundamentally sound plus he has that natural timing and beautiful power.
I really like him as a fighter. He's quite flat footed, but somehow that seems to work to his advantage. Sort of plods around and throws well timed shots and never expense energy where he doesn't need to
If Zhang were 10 years younger, he would surely become the strongest boxing champion, but he is 39 years old....
Think Joyce is 37 himself
@@c.d.aragus3315 38 in September.
Zhang is 40. Neither of these guys are champion material. Not now, not 10 years ago. They're solid campaigners. Usyk, Fury, Aj and Wilder all beats them easily.
Really sad, he's got maybe a couple years left near the top before his age destroys him.
@@asdadfafafafffallslsldd8068 Nah, AJ would lose to this guy. He has a glass jaw.
Zhangs defense is too notch
Ah？
Would have loved to see Zhang go pro earlier, really clever defensive work, beautiful straight left hand, composed fighter. Only question is his stamina
agree, 40 next week, hopefully he can get a couple more wins and a title shot
Yeah true i think he needs to do more streng and conditioning, he may have a few more years in the bag.
Joyce was too cocky trying to get a dance on with Joshua or Fury… no chance
i was surprised at how technically good he was ...... i had only seen him fight hrgovic and he didn't look that talented......
Yeah youre right. He is almost 40
Zhang was unstoppable. Really impressed by his performance, thought it would be an easy win for Joyce
Joyce is by far the most overrated heavyweight out there 😂 he's seriously slow and so sluggish. He'd be used as a punching bag against the top 4
Well Hrgovic beat him. But Hrgovic is Croat so no money in there.
He is going to cause a lot of problems in the division #he is gud
@@zeljkostefanko5629 apparently that was a robbery. im yet to check.
@@zeljkostefanko5629 he didn't 🤡
Big Bang Zhang has one of the more memorable boxing names in a while! Joyce appeared to be in good shape, and stayed very active, but never could sort out how to avoid Zhang's lead straight left. Hate to see when a fight ends on an injury, but I am not sure that the last 6 would have looked much different than the first 6. Maybe if Big Bang gassed out or something.
Respect to the Reff great sense of judgement, Absolute class. Great sportsmanship from both fighters.
Did not expect such a good performance from Zhang and surely amazed by Joyce's readiness to catch the hard shots with an open face...
Zhang got skills he won fight against hrgovic he was robbed in that fight by judges
He looked so good because Joyce is so bad. He has a good chin and nothing else. Slow and robotic. He was always going to come unstuck against someone with a bit of skill and experience.
@@daebak7370 hrgovic won but it was close, a rematch would be good
Lol No defence at all against the left. Hopeless. But Zhang was brilliant 💪
@@Billy2011C Joyce isn’t bad at all for what he is doing and how slow he is. He hasn’t got as far as he has just because of his chin. He’s got that far because he has exceptional timing and the advantage of not hesitating or being responsive to opponents feints etc he’s takes full advantage of the little attributes he does have
Love the way Joyce throws a hook in the first round for it to land in the third
😂
Golden comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dammmnnn
@Andrew Jones your boy Joyce got the rocky balbora treatment 😂😂
Best ever comment 👏😂
Zhang has one hell of a chin kinda left the guard open but was never once hurt or rocked fair play
joyce felt the power from the very first punch that he absorbed and that changed the tempo of the fight, joyce might not have expected that
China d his head In!!!!!
He was definitely stumbling after the first engagement of the fight
Absolutely agree
HHHHHmjHHHH
Joe is a bumb
Speed, size, accuracy and southpaw all key factors. He neutralised Joyces jab beautifully with the right hand and by controlling the distance and then dominated by landing the straight left at range (and Joyce doesn’t move his head)
spot on agrees
Completely agree. The way Zhang used his lead hand was both fundamental and brilliant.
Plus first big puncher Joyce has faced (Dubois was still novicy & didn't connect)
Basically Joe was Zanghed!
Вы забыли ещё добавить - сила. Удары чжилея были сильнее
Underdog or not, I like the way Zhang went right at Joyce after the bell rang. The warriors code - Fearless. What a show he put on!
*Chang's technique was so good that he didn't even get hurt.*
Crazy how Joyce was undefeated till now with that speed.
And terrible defence
Speed of a centipede
Fell in love with his chin, but iron chin didn't equate to iron socket
Or lack thereof......how did anybody ever think he was any good? Just shows the dire quality of HW boxing these days....
Indeed. To have that as your 'level' after years of dedication and training.😮fk me.
Ref saves Joyce in the second round, man was about to hit the floor 😂
I did a Large poop I mean big mate!!!
Nothing better than coffee and a huge dump I agree !!
Facts.
That was the most blatant case of ref bias I've ever seen. He had no reason to stop that at that moment.
Yeah I thought that was crazy. Zhang moved out of the way to let Joyce stumble past him into the corner and then the ref starts yelling at him. Weird.
Next match gonna be interesting.. This man just shook up the world
It is going to be very interesting. Also, on my channel, Ive done a video which analyses the Joyce vs Zhang fight, check it out!
Zhang consantly trying to touch gloves after each round, and Joyce just ignoring him 😢😅
Joyce was frustrated, I saw that too.
Joe Joyce is such a good sportsman. He wasn’t a sore loser, and he accepted defeat like a man.
But he still lost.. even in reematch he Zhang will beat him up again.
@@MiddleEast-4Ever Maybe,but it was stopped by a swollen eye...
@@markhepworth it was stopped by punches that were landing 10 out of 10 times… Its painful to see Joe Joyce box… Zhang is just a slightly improved version of him.
Unlike the hulking sulking millionaire.
Exactly
Wow, this was diabolical to watch. I've never seen a boxer (Joyce) throw so many punches in slow motion.
'Slow and sluggish' is an understatement.
Yeah I agree. Are to believe this guy is a professional boxer. Literally looks like a beginner
He's always been like this it's the fact he can take a shot and normally walks through them with volume and they normally fold but last night he just got hit to often. If not for the eye injury he could have had a late stoppage again.
I thought I had it on the slow motion option at one point.
@@robgarth8590 Yeah I haven't watched much of Joyce and this was not good. He looked amateurish for sure!
Great fight. Both warriors. Well done.
I love Zhang! an absolute powerhouse!
Zhang looked like the type of guy who would be a villain in a bloodsport movie 😂
Congratulations Zhang well fought
Chong Lei 2.0 😂
Cong Li 🤣
Yes 🤣. Hollywood only make 'heroes' out of Americans, Brits & Israeli's.. it would seem. 'Special relationships' hehe
I was thinking they should swap him out for balrog in street fighter
Extremely impressed . I watched him live under card of Usyk vs Joshua .. this was a different Fighter .. Zhang trained hard
Who'd have thought that blocking punches with nothing but his face and being slower than a slug in reverse would catch up with Joyce eventually?? 🤔
And he is 37 years old!
People hyped up his chin so much I think it went to his head. Can’t be fighting a big puncher like this with no head movement. Madness
🤣🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ amazing how he got this far! Walk forward hit & be hit Rocky Balboa 101
@@smackdaddyboy1Spot on mate, it was worrying me how often he was starting to reference his own chin in interviews and it seems like he’s abandoned any thoughts of even trying to protect it
What a Fight, Good work BT ❤
Great fight!
Zhang was throwing that straight left like a jab 👊 🥊
I thought it was his jab for a moment 😂😂
Joyce was humbled tonight ! Anything can happen in the heavy weight division 👊🏽
China really are about to dominate the world. In a time where despite far more freedoms, Westerners are almost ashamed to be Patriotic, China is not only pushing Anerica and the West around on the world stage , they have 1.5 billion citizens who are *extremely* patriotic. Bordering on Supremacist. An interesting decade ahead
.
Ridiculous decision to cut so much weight when he hasn't cut like that before. Knew Zhang was quality but he made a seasoned pro look lost out there, congrats to him. Gutted for Joe.
U see I told u people this is boxing Joe Joyce this Joe Joyce that he will Joshua he is now above Joshua who did the fight the have humbled him, give me Aj he will not last in a ring with me, look at it zang zing hahaha
Joyce isn't a natural boxer, and it showed. A natural boxer who isnt afraid of his blockhead or power just ran over the juggernaut.
@@eberechukwuamadi8465 I'm laffing out loud...If it was Aj..y,all will spitt out thrash..u can imagine..
great stuff
Absolutely brutal seeing two big sluggers go to war. Great conditioning too from both warriors.
Zhang looks like the final Boss in a Bruce Lee movie. Respect now he needs that title shot.
Zhang had Joe's number from the get go. Joe literally thought nobody could best him and he walked in the ring and got humbled.. Love the way Joe handled himself and handled the whole thing after the fight got called. Top men the both of them
Those early shots took Joyce's plan away pretty quick..
Joyce will come back .that guy was all wrong for him south paw for 1.who can move and pop that left down the pipe 2 and who can bang 3..styles make fights..still think Joyce can beat the top people as they don't hit with that type of speed of Zhang..just took him by suprise early and done his damage early Joe was eating shots but started absorbing them and giving his own back..Joe would of got him out of there by 12 I reckon of the damage wasn't to bad on that eye
Lets face it his eye was closed up for at least two rounds and Zhang could still not drop him. Without that eye damage Joyce would of worn Zhang down from round 6 and stopped him before round 12.
Humbled? That's a good one
Aj ESQ attitude by JJ
Zhang looked so much better. Better timing, better movement, better power. Joyce very lucky to given so much help by ref and doctor.
Zhang had a plan and he put it to work, joyce needs to recover and get back in the ring.
Zhang excited it beautifully. Also, on my channel, Ive done a video which analyses the Joyce vs Zhang fight, check it out!
I knew things weren’t going to be good for Joyce when he said “everybody has a plan until they punch me in the face and nothing happens”
😄, that’s a rare strategy
Hahaha did he really say that? 😂
@@MistaMatthews 👍
hahahahahaha when did he say that?
Until ya fight someone that's got a bit of power
I cant believe the slowness of Joyce' punches! His punches looked weak. Incredible.
That was not the same fighter that rocked Parker!
@@dannie2712 *knocked parker, but parker didn't hit joyce like zhang did either :) parkers hardest shots, and they didn't land, but didn't bother joyce.. he probably just tried to stay active in this fight but he was hurt & his eye closed up so.
@@bekeneel no I meant to say rocked as in slang
应该是张的拳头太重，导致他身体有明显的问题

Never realized how big and bulky Zhang is until I saw this video
When his left hand lands, it almost looks like George Foreman power
He is actually much bigger than Foreman
Heavy weights are giants now
That's why heavyweight is exciting. Anything can happen. Congrats to Zhang.
The one thing about the UK boxers they don't have defense I noticed this over the years.. well except Tyson fury he does so did Joe calzaghe but that's my only criticism.. Joyce is a classic though much respect
Gran Réferi, muy pendiente de la salud de los pugiles, buena decisión.
Even with the judges against him he won 😂 what a backhand to all the judges 😂
Repent to Jesus Christ “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;”
Psalms 24:1 NIV
T
Zhang holding him at the end was straight up mercy, he didn't want to make JJ blind.
Correct ., so Zhang is respectful
I really like Zhang. A great boxer and a true gentleman.
That Doctor is a disgrace imo. He ought to have ordered the fight over as soon as he examined Joyce’s eye. Instead he lets him take more damaging punches.
Now go watch pretty much any fight from the 90s a tell me these two guys could be in the same ring with 90s crew.. This is big time slowmotion..movement.. explosiveness... Dear God..
Your forgetting that guys from the 90s were alot smaller. Hell even Roy jones fought at heavyweight lol
Great Fight
Those insulting AJ can now see that brawling is not everything at the elite level. At some point, a brawler needs to learn the sweet science in order to survive. Wilder fell despite his superpower. Now, Joyce has fallen despite his granite chin.
Facts
That’s 100% true and AJ showed he understood that in the Ruiz rematch. However against Usyk his boxing skills were just not on the same level and that’s why he had to come out brawling in those fights, which he didn’t
when has joyce been a brawler
99% of the current heavyweights couldn't even begin to comprehend the sweet science.
Not one of them would last a single round with any of the top heavyweights from era's past.
He might have a granite chin but his eye wasn't reinforced
This fight should remind Joyce that Not getting Hit by your opponent is just as important as Hitting your opponent...and Zhang can certainly Hit hard.... respect to both men
yes much is made of his chin but his eyes let him down there
Yes the Dave Allen defence of blocking punches with your face isn't the best.
Yes and if AJ does it, people call it stupid
Seemed like Joyce underated zhang in this bout.
His long standing weaknesses of being too static, slow foot work, slow upper body movements, less punches work rate really let him down this time!
His great chin & power punches didn't get the job done this time around.
Congratulations 2 Zhang, fast hands with a good defense, he really impressed me.
Seriously that left hand is better than Usyk's left hand. So much power and connects much more
Zhang is very solid. He's not a dummy like a lot of the non-champions are. He's a real boxer and takes it very seriously. It's really tragic because, due to his skill, he can't get an interesting fight because anyone who has some ambition will try to avoid a risky opponent like Zhang!
With good reason. As he just proved
agree zhang at 280 lbs he can move fast and threw combination quickly... with great defence technique as well, ..some of joyce punches landed on elbow and arms only...
Like Luis Ortiz, boxings a joke
@@christophermocoy4874 alot of Joyce shots landed on elbow and gloves. Very few actually got through
That's heavy weight boxing all over, no one want to fight anybody any good.
Zhang so smooth. So powerful so confident and calm. Great fighter. Impressed
That early damage to the eye really paid dividends. He couldn’t see those lefts coming as the fight progressed.
Good stop. He couldn't see anything and kept getting hit. No need for more damage to there. Great fight by both.
Good representation of what the fans want from the sport, 2 hard hitters going at each other, no over the top drama, just a couple of professionals trading leather, keeping boxing alive. Great fight respect to both lads, especially Zhang after being robbed in his previous fight in Saudi Arabia, and for winning me a few quid last night aswell 😂
Zhang vs hrgovic was close fight but there is no robbery
@@zikovsnorton yeah, Hrgovic won fair and square. Those who say otherwise don't know the rules amd have no respect for other fighter. Would love to see Hrgovic vs Zhang 2

i could have an hour lunch break in-between joe Joyce's punches
Everything and everyone against Zhang..
Massive respect ✊👏👏👏👏
Two gentlemen!! This is how sport should be. Respect.
czcams.com/video/_6g0nQjbXCw/video.html
Great performance by Zhang. He may look soft, but his punch selection, accuracy, and deceptive speed is quite remarkable. He really did take advantage of Joyce not using any significant head movement or footwork to create angles.
Joyce was waiting to be found out, slow and cumbersome
He looks like a tank with a little soft on top of it. He had broader shoulders then Joyce, that says enough.
Exactly. Joyce doesn't move his head after he throws his punches. Zhang had it all his way, popping him w ease. Very good, confident performance
zhang was robbed vs hrygovic also he's practically undefeated beating 2 massive prospects
Agreed. Just want to add to that he must have very good power to do that to Joyce who has never even been rocked before against the likes of Parker and Dubois.
Crazy how zhang is older yet has faster footwork and handspeed. Joyce looked the slowest he's ever been. Don't know where he goes from here.
😮😮
He's 39 years old. I can't imagine that such an old person has so impressive performance.
That's because he's taken less damage than JJ.
Lovin the thumbnail there.
Totally summed up the content…
This was bound to happen eventually Joyce has just never bothered to improve his defence hopefully he will learn from this.
True
Dude was just blocking Zhang's jabs with his face the whole fight. Defense needs a lot of work..
He’s 37 not 21 he’s done I’m afraid like AJ
Not enough upper movement.
@@badshifu he wnt be able to speak soon
I remember when Fury wanted to make us believe that Joyce would a bigger challenge than Usyk and Wilder 😂
He knew exactly what he was doing.
Bro !! he even say Joyce was better than Usyk
Ducked AJ and usyk won't fight anyone he can't beat 100% should just be ignored if he won't fight. I can't stand the fakeness of him.
@@TrifficLad33 Nobody has ever ducked AJ lol
Fury is a bloody disgrace. He really wanted his last 3 matches to be Whyte, Chisora and Joyce.
Race based point system. 😂
i was actually surprised at how fast And accurate that Straight left hand is of Zhang. Joe needs to stop or take that away from him in the rematch.. but it’s gonna be hard because I’ve never seen joe change he’s style.
That's the true spirit of sports. Joyce is a perfect gentleman and so was Zhang.
Huge respect to Joyce during the doctors checks and after being waved off. Pure professional 👌🏼 Zhangs left hand Damn 💨
Joyce made it easier for Zhang by being so static. He needed to dance and wear Zhang down. This was a very bad result for Him considering his age. He's not going to get faster or fitter as time goes on.
@@thewomble1509 At 37 I really doubt Joyce can change his style, but maybe, we'll see
@@alejandroriverojr6661 I agree. It might be time he looked at hanging up his gloves.
@@thewomble1509 remember heavy weights keep power we'll into their 40's, he has a few more dollars to collect I reckon
He didn't want to be in there anymore, think he was happy for the doctor to stop it
Has some skills
Way to Go!
Zhang is a dangerous fighter without doubt with his power, he has that natural size and strength as opposed to the "body builder" like strength and physique that never provides the same stamina. However it's hard to gauge how good he is, because Joyce was such a static target, who threw virtually nothing back that prevented Zhang from landing punch after punch. How much of it was Joyce having a bad night, or just a clash of styles, and how much was Zhang just being so good that Joyce could do nothing, remains to be seen when Zhang takes on another highly rated fighter.
Zhang is a very dangerous boxer. Also, on my channel, Ive done a video which analyses the Joyce vs Zhang fight, check it out!
Watch his fight against Hrgovic
@@deleqtronica8733 That Fight shows to me how poor Joyce's tactics were in this fight and believing that he was immune to Zhang's big punches.
it's not mentioned anywhere that i can see, but i think joe was such a 'static target' because he couldn't see that left through that busted up eye
@@johnpickwick407 It certainly didn't help and he took a big shot early on that partly caused that and just seemed to shake him to his boots.
Poor Joe really struggled against the southpaw stance. Credit to Zhang he fought a phenomenal fight. Don't see anyone hurt and push joyce around like that. Great fight
Fury and Wilder maybe
Yeah imagine what Usyk will do to him
@@ra-ge let not
See Joyce getting badly ko’d in sparring on Inside Boxing Brain channel, leaked convo Joyce said he just wanted his abs to be visible for this east one?!
Indeed..
Fair play to Zhang. I like Joe and wanted him to win but people can't underestimate the Chinese geezer after his previous fight 👊
I thought he was robbed in that fight against Hrgovic
I beat both of them in round 3
Now this was a fkg good hiding.
@@dayoiloyi4605 He wasn't robbed, it was a close fight
Bro he's the underdog one🤔
