Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Exercises Rematch Clause For Zhilei Zhang

[champion4ever]

I am expecting Joe Joyce to come in weighing much heavier this time than he did the last time. He came in lighter the first time because he thought he would be able outbox and outclass Zhang which was a mistake.

The "Juggernaut" was still too slow and robotic for the Chinese heavyweight.. Zhilei still managed to buzz him several times throughout the fight; Despite Joe's attempts at outboxing him.

I expect Joe Joyce to go balls to the walls in the rematch. He is going to make it come down to a battle of wills and attrition. Whoever wants it the most shall win this fight.

Joyce better be mindful of his eye, if Zhang touches him up that badly again, it might mean Joyce's career.

Kind of a low move by joe blocking zhangs title shot

It's going to be Zhang, ****, Dang, all over again in the rematch. Some fighter's just have the other fighter's number, and that appear's to be the case here.

Get real officials this time or fight outside of the UK. I’d be happy to never see another fight in the UK if it wasn’t for the great boxing fans. But all these rematches due to these amateur like ref’s and trainer’s cutting fights short really makes some of these fights pointless.

What's Joyce going to do differently in this fight? Let Zhang close the other eye?

yeah ****, I was looking forward to Fury vs Zhang, because it was the best Fury fight we can get for July. Rematches suck, especially when the first fight was so one sided.

I think rematch clauses should be reserved for voluntary defences of actual world titles. I understand when you're willingly giving someome a shot at your world title.

Rematches for fights like this just holds up fighters careers.

The first fight wasn't close at all. Joyce isn't going to be able to learn defense in a few months.

Whats wrong with you people? As soon as Joyce heard Fury was after Zhang he saw step aside dollar signs. That way he can get paid and not look like he ducked the rematch. Free cash and saved from another face smashing....smart move.
