Lets get some absurdly definitive predictions for Zhang Joyce 2.

Zhang to knock Joyce out cold with a counter right hook in round 3.

Yeah that was brutal.

Dunno what Joyce can do now, that's two beatings, maybe a rematch v Dubois and cash out?

Zhang is a monster, only downside for him after that nobody will want that fight whatsoever sadly.

It's very frustrating because Joyce is a good fighter who in my opinion would give Fury and Usyk very difficult fights.

But against guys like Zhang and Wilder who can truly crack he is a sitting duck. Styles make fights.

That was beautiful the way Zhang set that up.

I saw people saying all Joyce has to do is move to the left against the southpaw. Yup. Straight into the right hook.

Zhang has a high boxing IQ and could see what Joyce was doing right from the beginning of the fight.

Oof, that was nightmarishly clean, especially with Joyce pivoting into the punch. Glad he's OK.

Zhang deserves a crack against one of the big 4 after that

Also I kinda felt it might happen for a few reasons.

I heard from multiple British pundits like the Talksport morons that all Joyce needed to do was move to his left against the southpaw. As if Zhang has never come across anyone trying to move the correct way you're meant to fight a southpaw :laugh:.
I'd also seen Zhang catch Hrgovic multiple times with that shot and having him walking around the ring like he doesn't know where he was.

Dude is a very clever boxer and can figure out that if you're moving to the left he's gonna time that.

That Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou fight, October 28th in Saudi Arabia will be extraordinary. The undercard looks special aswell - mainly heavyweight fights. Wardley vs Adeleye will be epic - these 2 had an altercation at the press conference several weeks ago and Wardley got punched/dropped and was bleeding. Martin Bakole is a dangerous fighter and Arslanbek Makhmudov is a tough sob.

Fabio Wardley Vs. David Adeleye
Martin Bakole Vs. Carlos Takam
Joseph Parker Vs. Simon Kean
Arslanbek Makhmudov Vs. Agron Smakici (TBC)

Will be a shitshow. Similar to Mayweather vs McGregor.

Disagree but you sir are entitled to your opinion. I think you would agree the fight poster is epic?

Fury will carry Ngannou and make it a points win, enough where they can try and justify a rematch for even more money.

Maybe he'll even fake a knockdown or something.

Laughable that it’s a sanctioned world title fight

At least Conor had some boxing experience but very few people regarded that as anything more than an exhibition against a semi retired fighter
