Even if Joyce were to dominate, the Chinese judge is going to give to to Zhang. Like Tony Montana said "I ****in hate Communists"

This is bad news for Joyce. Having one Chinese judge assures Zhang will have one judge going his way. However, I do not think this goes 12. If Zhang starts making contact with that eye again, it will be the same exact outcome. I do not see how this plays out any different than last time. If I were Joyce, I would put my foot on the gas from the get go and hope to catch him early.

Joyce is just so slow on the trigger. I can see him getting stopped early again if he tries to push Zhang early.

England’s Phil Edwards had Joyce ahead, 48-47 prior to the stoppage last time. Looks like they NEED a Chinese judge in there, although I Don't anticipate a distance fight.

This will be good practice for the judges since their cards aren't going to be needed. Besides Joe getting his head out of the way of Zhang's straight left, he needs to do a better job of landing clean punches on him. Those are the two big things to correct from the first fight. This fight will show if The Juggernaut has the ability to adjust his tactics. He has the brains to do it, but the skill? Time will tell. Should be fun while it lasts.
