    Zhang is going to knock him out this time.

    All depends on Zhang's consistency. He should be able to replicate his performance though he won't be able to rely on a smashed-eye-socket stoppage every time. Zhang could tire badly and lose a decision or by late TKO. If he's super aggressive there's no reason he can't stop Joyce mid rounds. Hard one to pick imo. 50/50.

    At least when the mobsters ran boxing, they still usually got great fights.

    Joyce can definitely win this if he covers up better and picks his punches. Can see Joyce losing on the cards but stopping zhang late

    Joyce could win the fight, as I feel he's the better boxer of the two, but he's gotta keep his jab in Zhang's face all night. He won't be able to get anything going unless he at least finds some kind of rhythm with his jab. Unless it's some haymaker outta the blue or something, of course.

    Who knows, JJ may try moving his head more, but I won't ask for miracles.

    You'd have to make Zhang the favourite for this because the first fight was so one sided and I'm struggling to think what Joyce could do differently within his skillset.

    He's always relied on being the biggest, strongest, toughest guy in the ring and out manning his opponent but with Zhang he's met his match.
