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

[wileyhemi]

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.

Makes sense and I hope you're right but isn't that what people said about Wilder/Fury 3 when Fury/Joshua was supposed to happen?

If I were Joyce I would take the immediate step aside that way get 2 a nice check with a title shot for the Zhang rematch is no guarantee nor won't be easy another loss or draw would deter any title shot ever again. This way you can get 5m to do none, still get your title shot, practice vs someone like Hughie fury or hell call on chisora or Dominic breazele collect another 2-5m In the process, with practice, then get 5-15m in a title fight stay away from anyone top 5 Until you get your title shot

I have a feeling Joyce activated the rematch clause once he found out Fury planned to fight him. Zhang losing to Fury would diminish Zhang's "skill" and make his loss look worse. Not to mention the rematch would lose some appeal.

Come here man…let’s **** the Zhang out……..simple adjustments you win….come to my gym in N.J I’ll even spar you and give you the proper game plan to get this guy out of there…don’t cheat yourself…your the better fighter . Just saying .

[Gman1989]

Ry92... where are you getting these numbers man? No ones paying Joyce £5m to step aside don’t be ridiculous. No ones paying Joyce £2m to fight Breazele or chisora. And certainly no one is paying him £15m to fight fury.

He has to change a lot. He's 37. Doubtful he can at this point. If a mummy like Zhang can do that to him, it's scary to think what Fury would do.

You got a 6 round fighter against a guy who could probably go 15. If Joyce does nothing for the first 6 rounds but throw an occasional punch and keep stepping away from the Zhang left hand, I like his chances.

Anything but stand still in front of a man who's left is faster and straighter than his own right.

Different day, same result. Zhang by KO. Joe is too slow and Zhang is just all wrong for Joe.

It’s not that Joe is too slow for Zhang, if anything Zhang makes Joe look like he has that Russel Jr hand speed. The problem is Joe has no game plan whatsoever, he throws punches just to throw for no reason. No thinking in his attack and absolutely no defense in mind, that’s why Zhang had no problem landing that straight left he was landing almost at will. Zhang literally only has that straight left hand, it’s a really good left for the heavyweight division but that’s about all he has. Any decent thinking heavyweight with a good chin is not going to have a problem moving Zhang into punches and having time to move away from any counter punching he tries. This is how bad this era of heavyweights are, someone like Zhang is now considered a worthy opponent for someone like Tyson smh

[Damn Wicked]

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.

Wang Dang Sweet Poontang, Sweet Willie Zhang!

Joe needs to stay out of the danger zone, conserve his energy, and then come on strong in the late rounds.

I can see, Joyce will take step aside money with obligation that the winner of Fury -Zhang must fight him next.

In that case we can`t get Fury - Usyk this year.
