    I expect Joyce to stop the "48 year old Chinese fella" between 7 and 9.

    Great fight and I expect this to be a stiff test for Joyce. He's the right favourite but if you write Zhang off I reckon you're making a mistake. He was good against Hrgovic.

    That sounds like a reasonable prediction.

    Heard some experts from ESPN talking about Zhang wanting to take advantage of Joyce having a bad jaw....? What the f... ? You can accuse Joyce of a lot. His defensive is very bad and he is far too easy to hit, but a bad jaw ?

    Apparently the running order is:
    - Ethan James
    - Bentley Smith
    - Noakes
    - Itauma
    - Mayer
    - Joyce Zhang

    It is a joke that the most interesting bout will take place before 8pm. They did the same with the Yarde Beterbiev card placing Dalakian Jimenez before 8pm and then having a load of 6 rounders.

    I can only assume Mayer is chief support due to Top Rank influence. Hopefully Noakes wins quickly and the Mark Chamberlain fight is made for the end of the year. They have talked about the fight for a long time now but it looks like it could happen this year since they have both stepped up now.

    yes I agree on that. Still, Zhang is probably the biggest puncher JJ will have faced and IF there's any give in that chin it will be found out. That's what makes the fight exciting.
