Zhang will be another heavyweight added to the Fury duck list

Zhang looked so confident from the very beginning. He's a dangerous mf and he knows it

Zhang is the Chinese George Foreman!!! The way he's so relaxed in the ring, so agile for such a massive guy, the way he walks through his opponents punches, but most of all, the way he's so heavy handed even his lighter shots made Joyce shudder reminds of Big George Mark II. And like George, he's gonna be dangerous well into his 40s.

Zhang is one of the most respectful guys I have ever seen. After he celebrated his victory, he immediately went to Joyce to console him! What a big heart he has!

dont underestimate how difficult it is to box in slow motion - joyce nailed it

Zhang is amazing. Is he the first East Asian earning the champion on heavyweight level? ❤❤❤ Culture is different! He is confident but not arrogant. He is humble,but not coward. He has the excellent and traditional characters from Chinese culture. Congratulations 🍾🎊🎉🎈

アジアを代表する素晴らしい選手。これからも応援します！

Joyce was without any chance. Zhang was NEVER in danger or hurt. He was calm and took his time in a cold manner.

"No one could ever knock Joyce out" Zhang: "Hold my beer."

It was not a haymaker, it was a calculated, distance-measured heavy punch

The replay of that first left in round 2 was absolutely brutal.

Zhang is a monster, wish he wasn’t 40 so we could see more of him

I think everyone felt that punch through the screen. What a shot Zhang 🥊🔥

It's crazy how hard Zhang hits. He's super precise too

Zhang literally made noise in the heavyweight division, that left fist is brutal🔥🔥

At 40 zhang is getting so much better every fight

Joyce actually looked scared. His lack of movement was frightening

My jaw dropped for like 5 minutes when Joyce face planted into the canvas, the shock on his face when he didn't see that overhand coming... I think everyone was equally shocked

Nice to see china getting up there in boxing heavyweights! Respect 👍

Joyce looked so slow, like he was punching underwater, Zhang after 1st round knew that it's not gonna last very long, just nailing him with everything for 2 rounds and that right hook that ended the fight was a pure beauty!

Feel bad for Joyce but WHAT A PUNCH!

The fact joe Joyce was even able to stand up before the 10 count was up is crazy😅he’s one tough man for sure .

Zhang is an absolute machine. Fair play to him. Think that'll be it for Joyce now tbh.

Zhang is a very skilled boxer, good hands, shoulder roll, head movement and controls distance. It will be good to see him get bigger fights. Congratulations👍🏼

Zhang is a classy guy. He won the crowd over with his performance and also with his noble conduct. He showed real respect for Joyce and even visited him in his changing room after the fight. Let's hope Zhang gets his chance with the top guys now.

Can't believe Zhang is more accurate with speed and power on the rematch. If Zhang keeps it up he will be an unstoppable force in the heavyweight division.

That's a 40 year old boxer doing that type of work. Hell yeah!

Brutal speed from Big Bang! He looked like he knew he was gonna win, and his arms and shoulders looked so much stronger than 1st fight!

Zhang throws great combinations with speed, power, and precision

He's always been a slow motion boxer! I like how Zhang at the end of round 2 literally puffed his chest out heading back to the corner knowing he has it in the bag.

This guy is too much for the heavyweight, i can see him becoming a champion one day . He has power in both hands

Fun fact: When Zhang was young in China, he initially wanted to go to province rowing team but was rejected, he had no choice but went to boxing. Luckily he was talented in boxing.

Can only describe that performance by Joyce as bizarre. He didn't just look like he'd never boxed before, but he looked like he'd never seen anybody else box before! Don't know what he was thinking, apart from that he didn't want to be in that ring. Zhang is a class act.

That timing and ko by Zhang was spectacular

Zhang has crazy knock out power and he is also a quite crafty Southpaw..idk man he knocked out the Juggernaut with ease that was super impressive.

If Zhang was from USA or Britain or even Ukraine he would be a megastar in the sport already. I don’t think anyone will be able to ignore him after this. World title shot beckons. He has a good chance of winning it as well. Very good indeed.

Zhang is a dangerous heavyweight because he's actually a techinicalled skilled boxer with decent footwork and explosive hand speed + power. He knows when to let those hands go. Another thing that impresses me is the way he uses his footwork to move in and out of range, and also put more power into the punches. Dangerous heavyweight!

That was a clinical finish from Zhang. It was well timed(teased him with the left jab and followed it quickly with that heavy right), time-bound (round 3 was just perfect, we didn't have to watch 12 rounds of punishment), and timely(10 seconds to the end of the round.. and that was a very fast count to 10).... On the flip side, heavy weight boxing has become boring.. with Tyson Fury holding unto belts, not fighting the real people, and having social media and celebrity fights, Usyk enjoying bouts with amateur knee-taking D, Anthony Joshua now a shadow of himself, happy to win a 7-day unprepared fighter, Deontay Wilder warming gyms till when, Andy Ruiz...? 😀 where is he?.. and disappointing Dallian Whyte ...I mean these guys should make the real fights happen

Incredilble Zhang🔥, never thought Joyce lost so easily.

Zhilei Zhang is looking so much better than ever. He just obliterate Joe Joyce without even breaking a sweat.

Zhang is the real Juggernaut!! Devastating power in those punches.

Zhang knew he had nothing to fear from Joyce after the first fight, JJ is lucky Zhang's age kept him from finishing him even earlier. All throughout JJ's career he's only known how to do a few simple things good and when he finally met a south-paw with a KO punch...he never saw any of it coming.

Hats off to Big Bang Zhang... He's one Hell of a Fighter !

The way Zhang moves with confident, with the forceful punch and the one punch walk away reminds so much of the great George Foreman. He is just one match away to be the World Champion!

Zhang deserves a fight with fury now but knowing Fury he will duck him and try an do an exhibition with Jackie Chan instead 😅

Rewatching this before the upcoming fight of Zhang vs Parker. If Parker manages to be fleet-footed and avoid the accurate jabs and combinations of Zhang (which is easier said than done), then he's got a chance of winning. If Parker actually pulls off attacking from the side with counter hooks, then we might see one of the best career resurgence in boxing. But to be honest, I think Zhang might win just from accurate power punches until Parker gives out. The only bad thing about this matchup is that these two guys are great, and I hate to see either of them lose.

Wow! Big Bang Zhang is the most exciting heavyweight going atm 🥊💪🏽😎🙌🏽

Hopefully now the commentators can stop praising guys for showing no defence and just eating shots ... It's not healthy, it's not smart and it's not boxing! Big up Big Bang 🥊💪

Zhang just ended Joe's career with that punch 💪

Zhang...proud to have such a fighter coming out of Jersey

this guy is 40 and only getting better, hope he gets a titleshot, he deserves it.

Zhang is underrated and deserves bigger fights. He got champ like abilities! Well done zhang!

Zhang looked like he imposed "Dad Strength" on Joyce. Guy was in absolute awe of the power of Zhang.

Joe Joyce is a Top Fighter and a Truly Great Guy all round, as a British Boxing Fan it was hard watching him get stopped so conclusively but Joe is both brave and strong so he can regroup and come back successfully from this big setback. Zhang is a very talented Heavyweight, he is highly skilled, heavy handed and regularly throws his shots with bad intention . . . this finishing blow is probably going to be hard to top, in fact it's instantly a very strong contender for Knockout of the Year. 😓🎯👊

Absolute demolition job! Two completely separate classes…one is an elite heavyweight and one is a borderline Journeyman with a padded record.

It looks like Zhang knew exactly what he was gonna do and executed the plan early and effectively. Joyce is slow and stationary and Zhang is constantly working and has cold intentions in EVERY punch . Nicely done

Zhang has twice made Joyce look like everyone thought his lack of speed and head movement should have made him look in all the previous fights in which his power seemed to negate the flaws in his game. In Zhang, Joyce found someone for whom his power was not enough.

Браво, Чжанг,болел за тебя!!! 🖐🖐🖐👊👊👊

Francis Ngannou vs Zhilei Zhang may be excited fight next

Joyce was outclassed physically but more important psychologically. He knew Zhang was coming with the left and he still got caught with it. For Zhang's size he is deceivingly quick handed and moves well. That knockout was a nice right hand counter, a thing of beauty. That knockout was a decisive way to end the fight.

Zhang is a brilliant fighter. Tall, strong, technical and surprisingly fast for his size. Hopefully he gets good paydays for his next few fights. 5 years younger and he would have been a serious problem for all HWs.

It's extremely difficult when a fighter has your number to then come back and win a rematch. Zhang inflicted such a devastating loss on Joe in the first fight, that coming into the second, weighed heavily on his mind. Zhang looked much more comfortable and confident in the second fight whereas Joyce looked timid. Beating your opponent should come naturally it doesn't come by jumping up and down on the spot overthinking your next move due to a previous loss. All it takes is the slightest lapse in concentration and it's over. Hope Joe comes back from this bigger and better 🙏

Damn! Didn't know Zhang was this fast. Always knew he has power. But the speed and accuracy for a very large boxer is just phenomenal. Joyce was dangerously docile and inactive. Best defense is always some offense.

Joyce was clearly afraid of Zhang from the beginning of the match, not daring to approach the Chinese at a small distance, and Zhang noticed that and took advantage of Joyces's fears and started punching him hard until a window opened where Zhang knocked Joyce in style with his right hand. All respect to Zhang. I think it's time for Joyce to retire. He's too slow now, and not quite motivated. Better now than later, before being more humiliated in the coming fights, damaging his good record. He's 38, he can be proud of his overall achievements.

Lets not forget.. Joyce was in a mandatory position, and didnt have to take either of these fights. Zhang gave a decorated fighter like Hrgovic absolute hell, and he still chose to fight him when he didnt need to. He came unstuck sadly, but he at least spoke volumes of his willingness to fight the best. Which is more than we can say for most other fighters in this current era... Hats off to him.

That's hell of a power shot !!

Inspiring man!

That Finishing shot was a thing of beauty☠️🔥❤️

People are like "bad matchmaking" but ffs I WANT to see fights where the outcome ISNT certain! Respect to zhang and joyce.

Every Olympic medalist who switches to professional boxing will achieve good results, Zhang was once a silver medalist in Olympic boxing⚪

I can't believe Joyce was back on one knee already by 7. And that was a fast count too. Lol Anyone else would have face planted until the doctor came in to look at him but Joyce was physically ok still, but psychologically defeated. He could have stood up at 9 but chose to take half a second longer and be counted out. He knew he was done at didn't want no more of that big bang Chinese power. He took a puff and didn't want no more smoke lol.

This looked like a professional boxer vs amateur. That right hook was beautiful.

Joyce was heavily warned that he would get sparked out! And it certainly happened. Zhang was overlooked and under estimated AGAIN by team Joyce.

A new champion is born 🥊

4:32 That Windows 98 shut down

One thing I've learned over the years watching boxing..If your a fighter known for having a granite chin, it means your getting hit far too much!

The power Zhang can create in the pocket is extraordinary.

Best commentator around for me. Would have him in UFC, Tekken, Premier League and Boxing. Sick how Joyce still got up steady even when the count continued

Zhangs got super quick hands for a man his size and stature. Definitely impressive

Zhang vs Fury is the fight to make now. Massive fight

I knew Zhang was a beast love his boxing!! So underrated

Well done, great puncher, wow!!!

Zhang is living up to his moniker "BIG BANG" 🔥🔥🔥

Great adaptation from Zhang! Silver Olympic medalist for a reason Joyce stepping to Zhang’s jab side, avoiding his straight left, getting Joyce accustomed to leaning left but Zhang got power in that right hook

Not only is Zhang heavy handed but he's very very accurate. Joyce's punches wouldn't have troubled a featherweight tonight. I heard he has no plans to retire, big mistake in my view he's already taken far too many heavy punches in his career and he's easier to hit than ever.

A painful watch but what heart to get up from Joe Joyce. Congratulations to Zhang. Deserved winner

Damn! What a punch 👊

Zhang is one of those guys that might have gone through his whole career without anyone noticing him and with all the top guys silently avoiding him. But props to Joyce, he unwillingness to shy away from any challenge has now put the spotlight on Zhang. It's just a shame it's come so late in his career. No way will guys like Fury, Wilder or Joshua want to risk fighting him now but everyone knows he can only have a couple of years left in him at best. Such a shame.

The fact that Joyce was able to stand up quite quickly after that monster punch is crazy. Congratulations Big Bang!!!!!

Emocionante

Zhang Ruiz would be an absolute belter of a match, I would have zero idea how it would go but would love watching every second of it!

Zhang is a legit punching machine, last time it was with the left, now he does with the right, a monster.

That final punch by Zhang was something else Congratulations Big Bang Zhang ! Absolutely deserved

Zhang is a very skilled fighter, very smooth as well for a man his size. He absolutely dominated Joyce in both fights.

Zhang showed sportsmanship after the fight.😊

The look on everyone’s face in the crowed when Joyce got dropped 😭😭😭

A moment of silence for those who thought Joyce could stop Fury ❤

Such a gentleman’s act, going over to the opponent’s corner and asking if Joyce is ok taking in his mighty punches.

Beautiful punch from Zhang. Damn.

The ‘Great Wall’ proving he’s impervious to damage. Very happy to see Zhang realising his dreams in the twilight of his career.
