Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce: I've Made Sure That I've Ticked Every Box For Zhang Rematch

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

He says he has ticked every box. It seems to me that the only box he has to tick is to learn to move out of the way of that one shot. If he does, I see him winning this fight in the same fashion as he always had. I could be wrong, but that was the only reason he lost.

That is the million dollar question, isn't it? Can he avoid that one shot. In the first fight Zhang hit him with it over and over and Joe could not adjust or find an answer in the fight. Now we find out whether they have found a solution in camp. If they have, I have to wonder whether maybe ZZ finds another shot that Joe struggles with...

Because all of a sudden he will have perfected head movement and slick footwork ?

No because he'll land a wallop!

I believe that Joyce would have knocked Zhang out, had his eye remained open...

Hey
Since you had that belief in the first fight
I think You should put up some $$ on Joyce this time around
Heh

I always put money on Joyce since I made a thousand on him defeating Dubois in 2020...

Just move your dumb head side to side for the first 6 rounds, you oaf?!
You're a supposed Olympic sliver medalist for fu-k$$akes...

I hope Joyce gets the job done but obviously its an uphill struggle when you're going against an equally big guy with power who is just naturally much faster than you. That said, its not like Joe actually got KTFO in the first fight, and we never got the chance to see how a war of attrition would go, which is where Joyce in theory should have the advantage.

Sad that this is basically the biggest HW fight of 2023.

Alrighty then
Let's see if you'll hit the Jackpot twice
Good luck

Thanks man - actually it would be thrice, I also won a few hundreds on Joyce when he KO'd Parker late, whereas I obviously lost money in the first Zhang fight.

I'm seriously considering a Joyce KO + Zepeda KO parlay this weekend... the odds for both winning by KO in the second half are 57/1

I have not picked a winner, but? Interesting to see how brazen people are at writing Joyce off.

You would of thought, people may have learnt from recent boxing rematches 'The losing fighter in the first fight, can win'.

This is a difficult fight for Joyce stylistically, and in all honesty a unnecessary fight when it was first made.

But we need to look at how he lost the first fight. Joyce was hurt, but he was not decked, he was damaged badly 'But he was still fighting on even at the time of the stoppage'.

So on his worst night, the man was still fighting hard 'Although tactically and skill-wise he was way off'.

If Joyce can minimize the damage sustained, and make this fight go long 'There is a definitive chance that he can win'.

Note: The edge is obviously in favor of Zhang, but Joyce has to also be in this fight 'He has to win this fight, in order to stay at the Top level of the game'. Joyce unlike Chisora or some others fighters, most likely will struggle to land big fights if he continues to lose etc.
