    Fury would win, but he seemingly has no interest in being a boxer anymore. Fuck him.

    Let's see first how he manages Daniel Dubois and (insert Frank Warren HW)

    Those fast hands and power shots would give Joshua fits. AJ is almost as terrible defensively as Joyce is - he panics when he gets hit, loves getting hit with straight punches and goes back in straight lines. Zhang would really, really worry Joshua. I'd pick him to beat him.

    Zhang beats Joshua. I'd take him over Fury too.

    I cant stand Fury these days, I used to be a big fan but now he's an insufferable prick and he clearly wants no part of Usyk. That being said, I still think he'd be too versatile for Zhang. Might have some rough moments but he'd win a fairly comfortable decision and bank the important late rounds as Zhang tires.

    I do agree with the consensus though that he's a big problem for Joshua.

    Just listening to talkSPORT radio at work.....they had this long-winded discussion about who was next for Zhang ..... Wilder,about Fury, about Usyk, about the top 4,

    Not once in about 40 minutes of shite being spoken did I hear Hrgovic name mentioned..

    Not once .

    Did he fuck.

    And even if he hadn't gotten the nod he did a sight better than Joyce did.

    I feel genuinely sorry for Joyce. He's better than that. He deserved something more perennial and tangible for his efforts. But he's just a horribly slow easy to hit guy. I'll miss him when he packs it in which must be very very soon.

    He seems like a good egg, a genuine nice guy, but yeah boxing isn't for him and I can't see where he goes from here. It'll be hard for him to take as he had a World Title shot already secured and didn't need to take the Zhang fight in the first place. Obviously he would have got pummelled by Usyk, but he could have taken the pay day.

    Zhang made that look even easier this time. Joyce is just too slow and hittable for a sharp shooter like Zhang. Good performance. Zhang deserves a shot for a title.

    Hrgovic got the decision.

    Give this guy a title shot.
    He is basically, Tyson Fury,..with more experience and a lot more power.
    Older, slower and less stamina

    I watched it. Zhang won

    Hadn't seen any, looks like a barnburner.

    EDIT - Yes it was indeed.

    It was set up nice. Joyce literally doubles the impact by walking into it. Still somehow beats the count

    Slow Joe never got out of first gear because he's too slow to get out of first gear

    Yeah Zhang spent a couple rounds getting Joyce used to the left hand and then delivered the right.

    And Joyce- a supposed Olympian medallist- never saw it.
