Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce, Zhang Zhilei To Fight April 15 In London For Joyce's WBO Interim Heavyweight Title

It'll be a good fight until Zhang gasses.

Zhang is a monster and Joyce has made a big mistake here

Zhang might not be the best opponent Joyce fought so I think Joyce is a good bet to win here.
Lets say their chins and power is identical.. Joyce has a better engine

But Joyce doe not have the better skills. Zhang has sneaky good speed and counting ability. Both are Olympic silver medalists. It should be a good fight.

True, I was being a little harsh on zhang. I'm sure there are things Zhang has edge in and skill and hand speed might be it. But Joyce has good skills so I'm not sure if Zhang has the edge in that dept

This will be fun, gas tanks are about the exact opposite and if it gets past 4, Zhang is toast. But inside those first 4, Joyce will be tested, Zhang has real power and I want to see what happens if he lands clean bombs on Joyce's skull

Great move on Joyce's part. Get a big lummox B- level fighter to drag through the streets and knock him spark out.

It will be interesting to see if Zhang hits as hard as DDD.

people putting too much weight in that one Forrester fight. Zhang was dehydrated... it was a mistake on his camp's part.


His engine was pretty good in the Hrg fight and Hrg is a better fighter than Joyce. Also much younger.


This is actually a big mistake. Joyce's defense is taking power shots to the domepiece. He's never fight a hitter like Zhang. Zhang hits way harder than DDD from my eye test. true 1 punch KO power.

Big **** could very well win this. They about the same age too.

How do you put a guy who lost his last fight, straight in for an interim title?
Surely you’d put 2 guys in who are on decent winning streaks? I wonder if they gave Frank Sanchez or Hrgovic an offer for this title.

[Ganondorf]

When I saw Zhang I immediately thought of Street Fighter. Zangief!
