Already in the first round, Zhang began to deliver his power punches. He was able to shock Joyce with a left straight in the second round. Joyce picked up the pace in the third round, but still continued to take punches. Zhang successfully worked with the left straight and Joyce's right eye began to close. As a result, in the sixth round, the ringside doctor stopped the fight due to a completely closed right eye of Joyce. At the stoppage of the fight, Zhang was leading 48-47 on two judges' maps, while Joyce was ahead 48-47 on the third map.
