Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce: I'm Disappointed With My Performance, I Couldn't Get Away From Left Hand

[_original_]

Yep. He says he couldn't get away from it. It didn't look he was trying to. Standing square in front of Zhang was an invitation over and over.

lol right. If you realize you can’t get away from a southpaws left hand, you’re absolutely screwed.

[Jkp]

I won nearly 200 bucks on Zhang. Had he knocked him out in round 10 - 12 it would've been 1200.

Cong****. I had money on Joyce getting knocked down at any stage of the fight. As it was paying more than Joyce losing. Feeling robbed now... lol

I'll give Joe some credit here...

most fighters always come with some kind of excuse, but he gave Zhang full credit.

Not saying he can win a rematch, but at least he knows the problem and can get to work on a solution straight away.

Yeah

Sadly for Joyce, hes 38 this year and has never moved his head. He's not gonna start now.

He is what he is.

I've got to say in his post fight interview, he didn't really have the conviction in his voice of a man who is determined to really put it right. I think he'll have another crack at it because he'll want a good payday somewhere before retirement, but I think he'll have one foot out of the door soon too.

How about Zhang was the best Joyce fought and beat him clean! One judge by the way had Joyce in the lead at the time of the stoppage! His eyes must have been more closed the Joyce's , and the ref gave Joyce some help too.

Zhang is a big heavyweight who can both box and hit. He's the best Joyce had fought.

“I have not fought against a southpaw for so long. Credit to him. He is a good fighter and I gave it my all. But I expected to win. I would like to apologize to all my fans and my supporters. I will be back and my journey is not over.”

Was Joyce just beamed down from another galaxy on fight night? Could his team have maybe watched some tape on Zhang and seen that he is a lefty? Didn't they have at least six weeks to prepare for this fight? No excuses please. Just give the opponent his credit.

[Phase III]

Joe trains with a midget in heels. What a joke. Move to your left dummy! Never seen a heavyweight who is as slow on his feet as Joyce. Rematch? Retire bro, you suck.

[Lance98]

Dude has been relying on beating up smaller guys and tanking their punches, but was helpless against a bigger guy with power and faster hands than him.

[The plunger man]

Anthony Joshua is like Rudolph Nureyev compared to Joyce ....even Joyceâs style and guard is horrible to watch.

if you cannot get away from a left hand you ainât never gonna get away from that left hand Joe and this is where the fairy tale ends

Joyce fought a horrible fight yesterday. Zhang was better prepared and knew it heading into the fight. He knew exactly what Joyce bought to the table. Joyce bought no head movement, blocking punches with his face, no foot movement and no strategy. He must have thought it was going to be the wild Wild West out there with two guys slinging away unti one man falls. Shame on his trainer for not watching film on Zhang and preparing him beforehand. Now Joyce has become a high level tomato can with this loss.
