Comments Thread For: Clarke Would Advise Joyce To Avoid Immediate Rematch, Face Whyte Instead

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Olympian Frazer Clarke believes his former Team GB teammate, Joe Joyce, should avoid an immediate rematch with Zhilei Zhang. Joyce suffered his first career defeat on Saturday night at London's Copper Box Arena. He was stopped in six rounds by Zhang, who rocked the British boxer several times in the contest.

I agree with the Olympian. Joyce will end up getting beat down again. The left hand was landing all night..JJ isn't about to become a defensive wiz over night. The right hook was landing too. I just don't see Joyce adjusting.

IDK why but I don't like Dillian for JJ, I just think Dillian isn't a great match-up. A lot of top H/Ws, including Zhang Zhilei, will probably beat Dillian with little difficulty. He isn't that good. He is, properly, a roadsman & I think he could make things very nasty for JJ.

If Joshua lost and didn’t take the immediate rematch the entire Warren line up would have a field day, this is a reminder to fighters over there and those guys are really struggling now ,Warrens guys have taking massive popularity declines and I can’t say I’m not glad they deserve it . Lol

Joyce needs a win to be credible opponent for usy k so might need the rematch with zhang. Beating whyte might be waste of time at this stage. But I guess Joyce is 2 years younger than zhang, but Zhang might get fury fight before rematching joyce......Zhang can't wait he's 40.

I have noticed this advice more coming from UK past to present fighters and coaches 'They constantly tell fighters not to take rematches or attempt to avenge loses'.

If Joyce has a rematch clause, well then take it.

Joyce ether wants to regain his position in the rankings or not.

The game moves on, the game is not going to wait for Joyce.

Right now as we speak? Joyce has dropped way below Anthony Joshua, and even Dillian Whyte.

Joshua is a Olympic Champion, and former two time Heavyweight Champion, and Whyte has beaten more higher level opponents than Joyce in total.

If Joyce does not take the rematch, it will be difficult for him to regain his position 'Because nobody really has to face him, Joyce has no interim WBO title'.

Joyce should stay away from "Big **** Zhang" period, Full Stop! His hand speed is to slow to keep up with him, therefore he has nothing for him.

[BlackRobb]

In other words, Joyce should fight another recycled British punching bag?

[KiwiRider]

Whyte disappeared as soon as Zhang's arm was raised. No money in fighting Joyce now, and Zhang would splatter Whyte inside a few rounds.

The entire div is a mess....Whyte, Zhang rematch, same shlt.
