whlst i reckon JJ will get the win i think this could be the first time he hits the deck in the pro ranks good fight tho, could be a war for a few rounds until Zhang gasses
Awesome news, keep the fights coming! I remember recently typing about how this year wasn't looking too hot but things are starting to perk up. I think Joyce's experience fighting better comp will see him through and of course that granite chin. The Parker fight should make Joyce a better fighter, we'll see if he's learned and uses that knowledge.
Now this is the perfect match-up, props to both for getting it done. It's great because they both have strengths and weaknesses that either could expose. Joyce walks into shots, and Zhang is not the guy you wanna do that with. On the other hand Zhang's gas tank is 5-6 rounds and the Joyce can be a nightmare for him. Also, this may let us know if Joyce's chin really is titanium or reinforced aluminum, lol.
Props to both for making this fight happen, but seems like kind of a dumb move by Joyce. He's knocking on the doors of the top guys and I don't see why they would make this fight for him at this time. A bit of a lose lose situation, where even if he wins, it's hard to see him not take some shots that will add mileage to his chin. Anyways... props to both. Hope Joyce can win without too much trouble.
I like both of these guys. And wait, we have two top level contenders fighting each other. Actually taking a risk? Is this reality? I'm over the moon for this fight, thank you boxing gods!
I think Joyce could get a lot of damage, fighting Zhang. Possibly his toughest and most dangerous fight ever. I always bet on Joyce, but maybe not this time.
