Comments Thread For: Zhang's Trainer: We Still Haven't Seen Best Of Zhilei; Rematch Would Only Get Worse For Joyce

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Shaun George respects that Joe Joyce's competitive nature will make him want an immediate rematch with Zhilei Zhang. Zhang's trainer nevertheless cannot envision the British heavyweight contender changing enough in their second fight to enable him to avenge his lone loss. China's Zhang (25-1-1, 20 KOs) upset Joyce (15-1, 14 KOs) by sixth-round

Joyce couldn’t have fought a worse fight . Zhang vs Joyce 2 winner is mainly decided on how Joyce fights again .

Just cos I'm not confident Joyce beats southpaw zhang, don't mean Joyce can't beat fury

Joyce looked slow and lost with ZZ. It may have been age and it may have been mileage. Using his chin for defense adds incredible wear over time. Sure, chronologically ZZ is older, but Joe's chasis and odometer showed different in the fight. A rematch will ruin Joe.

Usually a better boxer wins the rematch even easier. Zhang is much better boxer than Joyce.

[Joseph]

Some fighters get lucky and defy their chronological age by more than a few years longer than normal, and Zhang is a sharp 39. Joyce is a sluggish 37.

Take from that what you will.

Smh. Joe was like a 2 points down and had won the last round before the stoppage. Big **** doesn’t have a great gas tank. Joe fought the same fight he always does he actually looked in great shape. It would’ve been fine if his eye didn’t swell. Rematch will be interesting but to say he has no chance is pretty uninformed

he lost the last round and lost the round he was got stopped in.

Zhang wasn't slowing down. he was picking spots.

Joyce either needs to move his head a massive amount or get his feet to move a lot faster. Or both. Not happening.

So that being th ecase I want him to make a QUICK decision on whether he is taking the rematch next. By end of next week so Zhang can plan his next fight - every month counts when you are 39.
