    Rewatch the Hrgovic fight , you’ll see Hrgovic wasn’t trying to out match jabs and go around the lead hand , he got caught a lot because of low guard and most likely unexpected speed but it’s an entirely different fight . But overall if Joyce just avoids walking a straight line onto Zhang it would be a very similar fight because Joyce and Hrgovic are somewhat similar the difference is Hrgovic narrows opportunities for opponents and Joyce just tries to strong arm them to much making very few adjustments if any .

    Zhang didn’t have many answers for Hrgovic straight right ,one things firvsure he’s got a chin but I think Hrgovic punishes him in the rematch if they have one and gets off to a far faster start he was sleep walking in that one fir at least half the fight .

      Hrgovic is also 30 years old. Like I've said, at Joyce's age, I don't see him improving enough and/or sticking with whatever he's trying to learn during the fight. His best bet is to come in heavier and keep the fight more close to the chest.

        Zero £ in that fight. If Zhang fights in China this summer, it would be a showcase gimme opponent

          Joyce definitely relies more on his size then skills . Most heavy weights wouldn’t be as effective without some sort of size advantage and more skill would be needed ,you’d definitely see a huge change on here and some posters favorite fighters being more ridiculed . I don’t believe Wilder would ever come close to championship level without his reach and I don’t think Fury would get away with half the things he does physically without being the biggest guy in the division . He’d definitely get flattened by a Wilder if you take about 40 pounds off him .

          But the fact is guys are bigger today and it’s very effective when you have both size and skills .

            Zhang is 40 yrs old, he shouldn't be looking at rematches, I know the Joyce rematch is up to Joyce. Him and his team needs to try to negotiate some lucrative deals to lure the champs Fury/Usyk to China. His management team seems to be small players, so I don't know if they have any connections that could raise the big money to lure the champs, especially cowardly Fury. Zhang's time is running out.

              Hrgovic's stock has risen as much as or more than Zhang's has

                I never pay attention to part-time boxers like Hrgovic and others. They're irrelevant to me and they should be to all fans.

                  he didn’t beat Joyce. Zhang did

                  Zhang also beat him


                  look at the comments on that video

                    Nobody who thinks they've won, would ask for a rematch...

                    Take your gift and be quiet. Zhang got bigger fish to fry now.

                      Big words from the guy who got beaten up so badly that he was turning his back to Zhang during the match in an attempt to avoid fighting. Zhang f-ed him up so badly that this clown didn't know what planet he was on.
