Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce vs. Zhilei Zhang - Official For April 15 at Copper Box Arena

[letsgochump]

Joyce has never fought a puncher on the level of Zhang.

this is a bad match-up.


Hrg beats Joyce heads up right now easy. Zhang just dusted HRG all fight and dropped him. Joyce's defense is not as good and his feet aren't as fast.

he's going to get teed off on. Zhang has very quick hands. faster handspeed than Hrg noticeably.

Joyce beats Hrg any day of the week. Hrg is the same thing except easier to hurt and he doesn’t have the engine JJJ has.

Zhang has 3 rounds to knock Joyce out and after that he is gonna be another KO victim sooner or later. Probably sooner. Zhang has poor stamina and Joyce puts you to work. Joyce will pressure Zhang all night and by round 7 Big **** will be ****** out.

That’s it. Hrgovic is C level. No legs, no defence, no head movement. Zhang would have won easy if he didn’t always gas so easily. Against Joyce that’s a bad flaw.

If Joyce kos Zhang don't say Zhang chinny. It will be his stamina failing

[MulaKO]

This has fight of the year written all over it
This will be some incredible action back and forth for the first 4/5 rounds
I see JJJ’s chin holding up and getting him the win around the 8th round

Hrg beats Joyce. Joyce is 37 and he is very slow. his defense is taking powershots to the face and his punches are slow.


HRG would UD him easy.

Like King Kong Ortiz, he's gotta be much older than what he claims. How old is he? Like, the Smithsonian finally released a giant Han dynasty warrior from his jade sarcophagus old. That's how I like to think of him anyway.
I love both of these fighters and I love this fight!!! But ultimately I think Joyce clubs him to death. I can't wait for this. Gonna have a hard time rooting against Joe but Zhang winning would be awesome.
Winner absolutely has to fight Ortiz.

You sure, my friend? For some reason I foresee a rather one-sided thrashing. But I might be wrong, needless to say...

I think this is a great fight for boxing. 2 top seven guys fighting each other instead of SNIVELING that the champion doesn’t want to fight them. Who would of thought of such a thing?

Big **** by hellacious KO

You're off your head. Zhang gets ****** out by Joyce. Joyce is much more proven and puts on far more consistent pressure than Hrgovic and will find Zhang, who has slow feet and mediocre defense, easy to hit. Sure he's big and has power but he's predictable and has poor stamina. This is a good stay busy fight for Joyce against a good competitor but not a top five guy by any means.

Zhang has a champion heart and takes punishment but returns it. However, I think the superior pressure and stamina both go to Joyce and at the very least will catch up to Zhang later if not earlier. It is heavyweights and one punch can change things for two heavyweights, but in this case Joyce has a chin made out of granite. And the pro competition level is greater for Joyce.
