Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce: Loss To Zhang Was a Wake Up Call To Get Things Right

[hugh grant]

Zhang got little credit for beating joyce, like it's no big deal it's only joyce? But hopefully Joyce will get credit, and not it was only zhang? Hopefully fury gives Joyce a fight

Zhang showed a lot. He's a threat to anybody at heavyweight

[Joseph]

Joyce can start by keeping his hands up and maybe not give Zhang a reason to unleash that hammer left hand.

[Monty Fisto]

What Joyce says he might turn out to be empty BS, but his words do make me quietly optimistic. Hope he finds a way to beat ZZ.

no head movement, no victory. really simple!

[Tatabanya]

He never had Zhang remotely close to being hurt, feels like you're burning money up.

As usual

Last Saturday I had an 11-fight parlay all but won. Mark Heffron betrayed me, so I got right 10 out of 11...

Zhang is a puzzle that most any fighter would have issues with.
Sounds like Joyce has the right attitude, wishing him well on this.

[James]

Zhang gets letters from home faster than Joe. How do you fix slow?

He can't fix it. He would fix it sooner if he could.

[James]

Joe Joyce's loss to Zhang was more than just a wake up call, it shows that his chances to become champion are limited.
To be fair Zhang's chances of becoming heavyweight champion are just as limited due to their fighting in slow motion, lack of fluidity.

Zhang has fast hands. Really fast.

Joyce seems to be counting on the fact that he will coming in heavier/ bigger for the rematch as the adjustment that he's made. Also he's sparred a few southpaws recently, which would take a lot more time to perfect than just one training camp. His new adjustments are not the crucial adjustments that are needed to win the rematch. Joyce needs to defend better and evade the Ying jabs. He also needs to punch a lot faster...which he's just not capable of. His biggest quality/ skill that could win him the fight is his relentlessness and especially his endurance, but he can't be getting picked off so easily as he was in the first fight or he will have a hell of a big obstacle to overcome. He can win this fight though, because Ying can gas and make mistakes too.
