People you need to accept that Hrgovic won. His record is 16-0, it is written in history. You just don't like Hrgovic. Everything that he is doing, will do, you will always disrespect him

Zhang is not going to fight Fury, Wilder or AJ next unless some of the other planned fights fall through. Usyk's got a mandatory to take care of or fight Fury if there is a big offer. Fury goes after the biggest money fight...either Usyk, or AJ, or whoever brings in the most money. Wilder is looking to fight AJ next and if he has to, he will take a lighter fight in between. Joshua's next opponent would be Wilder or Fury or some Matchroom guy if he fights in Dec. before any of those.
Zhang will probably have a lighter fight too and wait for his mandatory shot.JakeTheBoxer likes this.

I was surprised how many people thought that "all Joyce has to do is move his head to win" like they've never seen him fight before. A lot of those same people are now saying "well Joyce was overrated anyway".
Then you got Fury fanboys who'd rather give Fury the win instead of actually seeing them in the ring when it's a much more interesting fight than Chisora or Ngannou.
Finally you got Wilder fanboys who are happy to just say "Wilder hits harder" without actually wanting to find out. I'd rather see that than Wilder-AJ at this stage since AJ is too cautious now and the fight is no longer a 50-50 who hits who first shootout. That's what Zhang would bring but it's a shame that this era of heavyweights aren't interested in fighting each other and we'll unlikely see any of those fights.Knuckle sandwich

I was thinking the same, took a lot of shots in the two fights before Zhang. He isn’t the same fighter since he lost his invincible chin, reminds a bit of Mike Tyson.
It took at 260 + pound Heavyweight in Danny Williams 'To land a 28 punch combination on Mike Tyson, in order to deck him while he had a injured knee'.
Lennox Lewis also throw everything offensively at Mike Tyson, round after round until he decked him for the count of 10 'Mike Tyson still got up vs Lennox Lewis'.
Joe Joyce in comparison has went from walking through big power punches, to being hurt and stopped by Zhang in the first fight 'To now being taken out of the fight, really with a single punch'.
The fight had only lasted 3 rounds, that is not enough time for Zhang to inflict heavy bombardment 'Plus Zhang was not even fighting at that kind of pace, he was boxing Joyce and picking his punches'.
But yes mate, I think Joyce since the Parker fight has been burnt out 'Many people underrated Parker's effort in that fight, I did not. It was a pivotal moment in Joyce;s career, I rate Parker in the top-8 most powerful punchers at Heavyweight. And Parker was whacking Joyce big time, Parker did everything offensively in order to win'.
It was a great win for Joyce, his greatest but with a chronic consequence in my opinion.
Note: Maybe if Joyce carries on fighting, their will be a rematch with Parker 'I think Parker would be game for that, and it is a fairly big fight' etc.

My prediction was that Zhang would get him out of there in 7 or 8 rounds. No idea he would do it in 3. I’d love to see Zhang fight Usyk or Fury but Usyk has to fight Hrgovic first and there could be rematches involved in that. Fury certainly will not go near this fight
