Good on Zhang, he's really increased his stock over the last year. I only gave him a puncher's chance against Hrgovic. He ended up performing a bit better than I expected (and Hrgovic looked a disappointment). Heading into this one, I thought Joyce would eventually wear him down in the later rounds after a few scary moments early. Zhang's power and speed on those lefts punished Joe and prevented any kind of rally.
It's easy to get carried away and earmark Zhang as a boogeyman for the rest of the division. It's still about matchups and I think someone who can avoid his power and push the pace will give him fits.
