Lovely stuff. I’ll be in Greece so can watch it with a pint of Mythos. Also lovely Benn gets less viewers and therefore less money the cheat.
Joyce stops the big Chinaman with one adjustment: learn how to slip a southpaw backhand. Then becomes the defacto boogeyman of the division with Parker ZHAng Dubois on his leger joshua fury and USKY continue to DUCK both men
I'm expecting a similar outcome as the first fight if I'm honest. At his age and stage in his career, I can't see Joyce learning how to slip a shot. I like the fella, but just think he's way too easy to tag. Mount Rushmore has better head movement than The Juggernaut sadly.
As much as I like Joe I can't see any other outcome either. You can't go against a big heavy puncher like Zhang with no head movement or defence. Also, I don't know who's bright idea it was for Joe to come in light for the fight?? It's not like he had stamina issues previously and he was never going to danced around the ring like a middleweight. If I was Joe's manager I'd have done my best to talk him out of taking the rematch. Sometimes guys just have your number and I feel Zhang has got Joe's
No one is ducking Joyce. He just got battered in his last fight. If that happened to AJ everyone would be telling him to retire
Zhang is dangerous but he does tire. Joyce probably fell in love with his chin and just assumed he could walk him down and take his best, and stop him later on. I think he can make the adjustments to win. Risky fight to take though - credit to him for doing it. I thought Fury Zhang would have been good
AJ is 100% ducking Joyce. When Joyce styles on and stops the big chinaman now he KNOWS he’s in there with a lefty (the big dopey fck conceivably didn’t realise this until about round four last time out) he’ll become the go to guy again. USKY and fury ducking each other. Ruiz pricing himself out of everything. Joshua scared to leave his bedroom at this stage. Joyce Wilder could become the fight everyone wants to see again.
the hubris of the first fight was insane “everyone has a plan until they punch me in the face and nothing happens” yeah how about your eye swelling up like a balloon you fool has Joyce found a trainer who can teach him how to fight a southpaw in 4 months?
I appreciate Joyce is a bad style match up for AJ. But that doesn’t mean he is ducking him. Joyce has 1 good win and got battered in his last fight. Not enough time to be ducked by anyone
100%. When Zhang was touted as a potential opponent for Joshua, we were told that Joshua continues to fight 40 year old cavemen and that he was ducking Joyce. Watch from 5:00 - 5:40. A lot of people were getting arrogant on the Queensberry side. This content is protected Even if Joyce wins the rematch, it’s difficult to see where he goes. He would have beaten a 41 year old Zhang. Frank Warren needs to deliver for him and get him a fight against Tyson Fury since it seems like Fury is avoiding Usyk.
