IDK I took Zhang to win last time. This time I'm leaning towards Joyce. Waiting until weigh-in to decide. Maybe even after the ring walks. I've been using that a lot more also. When I saw Spence I was like DAMN!!! He gonna lose.
I think he has a better chance at his more natural weight and came in too light last time. He likely took off too much too soon and was dehydrated and it likely didn't help in regards to the facial damage & certainly to me looked to take away from his power.
I don't agree with the notion he needs more speed he is always going to be slow as molasses but more so he needs to be more defensively responsible especially when closing the distance. The problems didn't come when he was all the way in, in fact he was outworking Zhang. It was when he stood like a lemon on the outside he was getting pierced up.
If I remember correctly, the scores were a lot closer before the stoppage in the first fight. Zhang's shots were far more effective, rocked Joyce in the second, and obviously caused serious damage, but Joyce threw a lot of pitty pat shots that had no effect on Zhang. Each boxing judge scores differently, effectiveness or activity? If it goes the distance, Joyce will win a controversial decision like Zhang vs Hrgovic.

they were saying Zhang slows after 5.
but watch the fight. He hits Joyce with 3 hard lefts in a row rocking Joyce who had to clinch to slow the action. the ref called it for the final doc check.
Zhang would've stopped him that round or in the 7th. Joyce was finished.
Joyce has a chance, be might hurt zhang this time or win a close decision but i think he gets stopped again, just gets hit too much and i see him also getting dropped this time.
