JJ/Zhang II. Sunday

[Steven]

Joyce kept out of range for round 1, but was done after round 2. Looked absolutely devastated in the corner. Took ages to stand up and re enter the fight. Really brutal.

So weird. ZZ was no big deal before he fought JJ. Had trouble with Forrest of all people, while JJ was the next big thing. But this fight looked almost like a mis-match. Just shows what happens when a power fighter who can box fights someone with no defence. JJ was worried about the left, so ZZ KO'd him with a right hook.

I think he was battling health issues around the forest fight.
Unfortunately for zhang I see his dance card drying up now- who above him will want that smoke??
His only hope is the wbo belt being vacated.

Didn't know about the health issues with ZZ. If AJ doesn't come thru, Wilder/ZZ would be huge. In China?

[bart]

That would be massive but does wilder want that surely he will move mountains to fight weaker minded/jawed aj for similar or better$

[diehard]

Guess it depends on what AJ is gonna do, and how much $$$ ZZ/Wilder can generate. And where?
