    For the rematch, unfortunately I won't be able to watch it. I went with Joyce the first time and I'm going with Joyce again (though absolutely not a foregone conclusion)

    His right hook is as dangerous as his left hand.

    Understimating zhang in the first 5 rounds only leads to the hospital.

    Really looking forward to this fight. Whoever wins I'll be happy, though I'm rooting for Joyce since if he loses again his career's basically over, whereas Zhang can still hang around and make some good fights if he loses. But have zero problems with Zhang winning if he turns the trick once again. Seeing a huge Chinese knockout monster is a real breath of fresh air in the division, and he seems like a decent bloke on top of that.

    Zhang seems to carry both concussive power and sniper power. Like his clubbing lead hook can seriously rattle fighters' brainpans, but his left straight seems to stun them Corrie Sanders style.

    Not a joyce fan, however I respect his analysis of the first fight he owned the loss and is trying to avenge

    Simply bought into this juggernaut nonsense thinking he can defend punches with his face.

    I think Joyce could be difficult for Fury as well as he would just keep coming, and Fury would have little success with his mauling tactics. Fury would score plenty with his jab and right cross, but Joyce would probably set a pace that he hasn't had to contend with before.

    Joyce to win by not getting his eye shattered and riding out early pressure to a 115-113ish decision that'll be given as 117-111 on the cards.
