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

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Joyce will steamroll Zhang.

[Mammoth]

Zhang hits hard and Joyce gets hit. Joyce will win but he's taking a risk here.

[SUBZER0ED]

A 37 and 39 year old HW contender. Wow, talk about late bloomers!

[El_Mero]

Decent fight, but Hrgovic wouldve been better imo

[SN!PER]

Common opponent, maybe this means we move a step closer to a big rematch between Joyce and Hrgovic.

Joyce's defense was terrible in the amateur fight but as usual looked like he could take about 1,000 punches and keep coming forward.

I expect another KO win for Joyce, Zhang wont be able to hang..

Shame it wasnt Bakole in there thats the scrap I wanted to see.

[VislorTurlough]

On par with Dubois gimme vs Lerena. All good stay busy until Fury/Usyk is sorted

[HeadShots]

2 absolute tanks.


This is going to be a good fight.

[Boro]

interesting fight, first southpaw he'll face as a pro arguably the most durable opponent and perhaps the biggest puncher could be telling about his alleged "granite" chin...

Zhang isn't the most skilled but he's one of the few in the division who looks as physically strong as Joyce, and he's tough with good power. He probably raised his stock with the Hrgovic loss as he looked better than expected and a lot of people had him winning. This should be a good fight.

I have to vehemently disagree. Although I think Zhang should've got the nod against Hrgovic, Joyce is not Hrgovic. He's much more tested and will walk right through Zhang. As long as it lasts it will be fun to watch because Zhang will stand in front of Joyce and throw bombs but no way is he as physically strong as Joyce, neither is he as tough or possesses anywhere near the same stamina. If Jerry Forrest can wear Zhang down, Joyce is going to steamroll him. Joyce will easily break him down and knock him flat. Sure Joyce may eat a few shots but they will have very little effect and Zhang will tire and get ****** out.
