Except for one thing: When has Joyce ever exhibited patience in the ring? You're asking a 37 year set in his ways with virtually no defense to patiently work behind his jab for half the fight. Not happening.

How? He can't get away from the left hand, doesn't have head movement or much defense at all, he's abnormally slow, and he doesn't have one punch knock out power, so that takes away the puncher's chance. Joyce is going to take a brutal beating.
He got battered by Zhang but I wouldn't have backed against him taking that fight on points were it not for the eye closing over.
I think Zhang will need to stop him. He's not that easy to stop.

I can envision the rematch going the full 12 rounds.
It is clear Zhang has punching power that can breach Joyce's threshold.
So? I was honestly expecting Joyce to fight Zhang the same way he fought Dubois.
In that fight vs Dubios, Joyce's defense and awareness was the best it has ever been.
Joyce was still getting whacked by Dubois, but he was fighting a really disciplined fight 'Solid Jab and movement. Joyce seem to be actively trying to avoid Dubois attacks instead of just wading through the power'.
Those are the revised tactics, I am expecting from Joyce. I think coming into the first fight, the hype he received from his win vs Parker 'May have been taken too literally'.
Parker is a big puncher, but Zhang is a level above etc.

Try and avoid his eye swelling, weather the storm better for the first 6 rounds as Zhang only really has 6 good rounds in him.
The tide was turning in the first fight, just by then too much damage was done.
If not, Zhang destroys his face again.Rebelrbg likes this.

Joyce should take the step aside money and let boxing be bigger than the UK. Joyce has some high capabilities as he demonstrated against Parker, and there are boatloads of good heavyweights that he is capable of smashing to bits!
Zhilei Zhang isn't one of them.Rebelrbg likes this.
