Joseph Obey Joyce vs. Zhāng Zhìlěi & Denzel Bentley vs. Kieran Smith RBR.

Joyce may well have had the edge in volume in all five and a half rounds.


In round four, his many punches were ineffective and Zhang's fewer punches had MUCH more impact and effect.

I tried to score anything remotely close for Joyce.

I had it three - two for Zhang, but 4-1 would have been just as reasonable.

 

It could happen, this is the HW division, but Zhang wasn't missing tonite and he won't miss next time either. I think Bang will get a real KO if they fight again.

 

So happy to have lost $1750 on Zhang!!

加油Zhang!!

 

Clinching the bigger man to tire him out?

 

One of the most ridiculous things said on here.

AJ has trouble with fast hands. Joyce has extremely slow hands, no head movement and no defence.

AJ would pummel him not worrying about what is coming back.

 

Why are the commentators saying it wasn't the usual Joyce in there tonight? It was, difference being he couldn't hurt Zhang at all and was eating the same left over and over again by a big puncher.

 

This. Joshua isn't as slow as Joyce.

 

Aren't we always complaining about fighters not fighting the best available opponents. Now we're complaining when they do?

I get that it's a bit different when you're mandatory but fighting journeyman comes with its own risk. I give Joyce props for taking the challenge on rather than fighting Takam, Chisora, Pulev etc...

 

Yeah agree on that but I think Zhang would be quick enough to land just one of those left hands which would be enough to sleep them

 

You are butthurt and everyone knows it dude. Give the mental gymnastics a rest for once.

 

Between Parker and Zhang, Joyce is giving us great matchups without having to deal with PPV prices.

I hate agreeing with Tim Bradley but he was right when he said if you keep fighting good opponents then sometimes you'll lose.

This was exactly the kind of fighters boxing has been missing. Hopefully Joyce doesn't go to the back of the line or retire or anything. Still a lot of good fights left for him, I still want to see him against Fury.

 

And still I won some money on Joyce fights, betting against him, but still.

I hope he will fight soon, someone smaller, Pulev maybe ?
