Comments Thread For: Joyce: I Maybe Underestimated Zhang A Little Bit, Thought I Would Get Him Out In Later Rounds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Keith Idec - Joe Joyce is sure he will be better prepared to deal with Zhilei Zhang in their upcoming rematch. The big British heavyweight admitted during a recent interview with Sky Sports that he might've overlooked Zhang entering their fight for Joyce's WBO interim championship April 15 in London. The then-undefeated Joyce was a 9-1

You sure did, and no matter what you do this time around, it probably isn't going to matter.
Because it appears that Zhang's got your number, down pact.

I respect your honesty, Joe, but next time, uh, maybe protect that eye a little more. Good luck.

he didn't get stopped stopped. His face just broke. The doctor stopped it. If he doesn't defend punches with his face, bit of head movement... he can win this fight and put that L behind him.

Joyce will knock out the Chinaman.

[joe strong]

He most certainly did overlook him. He can’t afford to lose the rematch or he could be in tough to get back in a top position for a title shot.

the question is will Zig Zag rise up to the occasion again ? And make no mistake that was Ziggy rising up in the last fight. Each guy has his faults like most fighters but thiers are easy to identify. Forget all that about there faults and technical abilities or lack there of i got a gut feeling on this one. Ziggy will have an off night as in not put it together this time, J.J. will push himself including his hands and head on the rematch and win decissivly. That is decisive not a majority decision but an out right win.

J. J. will be "Kid Dynamite" this time.................

Old Ziggy is gonna miss his stardust this time..........

He played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man
Then we were Ziggy's Band...........

Win or lose, I admire Joe. After the damage he took in the first fight, imagine the guts it takes to go back in against the same opponent knowing threre's a good chance your eye is going to get screwed up again.

I'd like to believe Joe can make the adjustments to get the revenge W, but I'm not sure I do believe it. Good luck to him though.

Joe prolly has the correct template to win the fight, he will have to try an avoided the left hand, he was hurt by that on quite a few occasions

I like Joe but I do not believe that he can improve defence at his age.
