Comments Thread For: Joyce Weighs In At Career-High 281.2 Pounds For Zhang Rematch, 25.2 Heavier Than First Fight

[Roberto Vasquez]

I still got Joyce to win this fight. Just like I had Eubank to beat Smith in their rematch. Whatever happens though... I think Joyce will do a lot better this time round.

Emperor Zhang's gonna feast on near 300 pounds of dark meat.

Zhang by earlier and more brutal KO than the last time, he's gonna be a sitting duck for those left hands

[BlackRobb]

His punch resistance might increase, but how will that improve the durability of his eye socket? Zhang by another TKO, but later this time.

Joyce has the frame to carry that sort of weight, I don’t see it being an issue.

However, lack of head movement and being on the end of the left hand likely will be an issue.

I am leaning towards Joyce late stoppage though, he’s got a great chin and if he can get the fight past 5 or 6 rounds I believe he’ll take over. Interesting matchup, genuinely looking forward to it.

Ouch! Whomever described the checklist in another story was 100% correct. He's going full juggernaut..

I like both fighters but, Zhang may win this one and of he does it the way o think he will... think of the mortal combat game from 30 years ago and that voice saying "Brutality"..

[Murray Kelm]

Makes you wonder how big these guys will get after they retire, probably both go over 4 bills.

Heart Attack heavy! I think both are obese and should focus on weight control for health purposes oppose to advantageous in a boxing match.

Those extra 25.2 pounds are just going to make Joe slower, with a worse outcome for him in the upcoming rematch against Zhang.

Joyce's problem in the first fight was not being able to avoid Zhang's punches. I can't figure out why he and his team think that being 30lbs heavier will help him in that respect.
