Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce: Once I Get This Interim Title Back, I'm RIght Back In The Mandatory Position

He can definitely win just like he's won previous fights. He'll need his face to hold up and take the shellacking he'll get for 6 rounds or so.

Either way I suppose Zhang already showed why Joyce needs to be thinking about retirement now over the next 18 months or so.

Hopefully AJ or Fury give him a big payday. He's a good guy and he should had the push of an Olympic gold medal really which would have put a lot more pounds in his pockets.

I think Joyce will win. Logically he shouldn't on last performance but I just see him being more cautious this time. He adapted against Dubois pretty well when you could see he was feeling his shots. It is hard for Joyce though because he always takes huge shots to land lots of his fairly weak punches. It's not like he has a huge punch

Big **** will drop a Great Wall on Joyce. KO late.

While Zhang does tend to gas a bit during the later rounds, Joyce had absolutely no answers for The Emperor’s straight left except to go partially blind. In those six rounds before the fight got waved off, not once was Zhang in any trouble. Joyce, however, was.

I remember people sleeping on Zhang big time before the first fight. Joyce didn't really land much of anything of consequence. Zhang defended the majority of Joyce' offense, and Joyce has a long standing habit of keeping his head smack in the center lane. He's there to be hit. He's got to last long enough for Zhang to gas out if he wants to have a chance, IMO. I don't see this one going any differently, TBH.

Before the 1st bout I thought the fight would tell us a lot about both men. I think it did. Joyce will have to pull something amazing out of his bag of tricks to win this. He doesn't throw a lot of one-punch heavy blows, and I don't think he consistently moves fast enough to keep Zhang off. He better be punching a lot harder and a lot more often to slow Zhang down. I wish him well, I like him. Anything is possible in boxing but it will definitely take a surprise from Joyce to win this (assuming Zhang is healthy and his normal self). Good luck to both warriors.

I think that Joyce has two things working against him. 1. His entire style is predicated upon walking down, and walking through opponents with limited head movement, not ideal when fighting a dude that crack.2. Age and the wear and tear of getting beat up the first time. This will be an early KO this time, Joyce can't cope with him at all.

I like both, I can see a repeat of the first, or if Joyce can't move his head, he needs to cover up for the first half. Zhang's gas tank is horrible, Joyce can easily get a hometown/Warren decision.

Be good to see if Joe can make the adjustments needed , it won't be easy Zhang is underrated but I see big Joe outlasting him this time and stopping him late.

I feel he wins for the same reason. I just feel he improves and the Zhang advantages will not be as great.
