    Why is the rematch between Zhang vs Joyce at even money?

    The money line is so low and close on this one and I'm scratching my head as to why. Is there something I'm missing? Joyce will probably get obliterated again.

    That’s like asking why Ruiz was the underdog in the Joshua rematch . There’s no evidence why Zhang should even have an even line off of one fight in a rematch he shouldn’t win .

      I guess, they both don't sell.

          Casual UK fans are more likely to bet on Joyce, which brings the odds on him down. Same thing happened for the Thompson-Price rematch, Price got stopped in the first fight but was a slight favourite for the second with the bookies.

                  Joyce is 37, just took his first loss by tko against a fighter equal his size. Zhang was backing Joyce up from the opening bell, had him rocked in the 2nd round, and can take whatever he throws at him. Joyce is only good against smaller guys, guys his own size that can take a punch are kryptonite. Anything can happen in the HW division, but any smart capper won't be laying units on the money line for Joyce. Unless Zhang has covid and just broke his leg, there is no reasonable thought to indicate Joyce can do anything different.



                  Again, YDKSAB.

                    because they both signed the contract

                    if there was a rematch clause then they even may have had the purse split already agreed on.
