Why bother with another fight. Why didn't you prepare for a southpaw in the first place? After all you could have been facing Usyk next

On that performance and not taking anything away from Zhang , I think even Joshua might have done the job . I understand it was the southpaw left that caused the eye damage but Joe is too easy to hit and hurt Joshua although fragile these days has an excellent jab and right band , that's now a 50/50 ..Wilder and Fury would destroy both Joyce and Joshua but the Big **** proved he's trouble and makes for a exciting and relatively unexpected addition.With Zhang's confident ring entranced and size I knew it was trouble , he didn't allow Joyce to bully and had him on the back foot , not a good place for Joe!

Maybe Fraudy will fight him now.

You don`t know what are you talking about. Joyce saw nothing. So you wanted Zhang to destroy him the other eye also?

Absolutely. He came in lighter, so you're thinking...maybe he's been working on his speed and footwork, evading shots.

Nope. He was just a smaller juggernaut plodding onto shots with no perceivable game plan.

As a Brit it gets a little annoying how poor some our coaching is showing up to be in recent years.

Joyce won't have time to rebuild at his age. It's over.

Credit to Zhang.

For someone with so many fights (as an amateur), he doesn't even show signs of improving his defense. I wonder what they do in training if he is going to fight the exact same way in every fight. Just practice I suppose but no new skills.

Joyce looked weak and a bit slower even by his own standards.

Joyce cannot come back because he was never there. A win over a fading Parker falsely overrated him.

You will say the same about Fury when somebody beats him.
