Comments Thread For: Zhilei Zhang, Joe Joyce Ready For Rematch War on September 23, OVO Wembley

Joyce won't be able to learn how to move his head but he can step to the side instead of keeping him self squarely in front of Zhang. Also they can do drills with him holding his hands up and punching from that position. It doesn't take much to do since he is so slow, head movements and waist movements he will not learn in a short period of time. He is not that type of fighter and that requires a lot of timing.

I really think if he only does this, he wins. Keep the big man moving, jab and sweep an occasional body shot as he steps outside of Zhang's right foot. After about 8 rounds Mount Zhang will begin to crumble. In a battle of stamina, Joyce has few rivals, certainly not Zhang.

Won’t be underestimating Zhang again.

No, I don't think Joyce underestimated anyone. Well, I guess Joyce expected to beat Zhang, so I guess Joyce did underestimate Zhang then. So this time Joyce should overestimate Zhang and expect Zhang to beat him even earlier this time

I like Joyce but I thing Zhang has too much engine. I also don't think Zhang will run out of stamina .... he'll get his 2nd wind in due time. Joyce will need to throw very accurate punches and that motor needs to be running on high early in the fight. Zhang won't wait r delay his attacks. Of course with all HW fights, if someone lands big at any point it will change everything. It's a great fight again, good luck to both guys.

That is a huge IF.

Only on Boxingscene could a fighter of Zheli Zhang’s calibre get this overhyped off one decent win.

I like both these guys. Both of them on borrowed time and deserving of a nice payday and opportunity against one of the big names before its too late.

He arguably lost to a journeyman.

Good fighter yes, elite no.

Joyce saying Zhang has deceptively fast hands had me chuckle a bit.

Someone needs to tell Joyce that Zhang is not particularly fast but is the first one to exploit Joyce's well-known weaknesses. It is Joyce who fights in slow motion and his strategy to defend himself with his chin isn't a great one. Technically, Usyk did it first but he was smaller and weaker than Joyce and Joyce was a lot younger so he didn't have the same outcome.

Nobody in the division has done much, Zhang has beat joyce more convincingly than anyone likely could, and he beat flip too according to many.
Wilder gets hype after 1 win over Ortiz and getting knocked out twice by fury.
Out of fury, usyk, wilder, Josh there's only been a semi final amongst them, they hardly swap dance partners do they.
Josh gets hyped beating wlad, usy k gets hyped beating josh, fury getsr hyped beating wilder. That's about it. Don't pick on Zhang now
