Joyce too old

He looked the same as always.

 

Yea I didn't see no difference.

 

The Terminator intro did him in.

 

Zhang is 40 dude. But I agree. This loss hurts him badly. Losing as an undefeated prospect/contender at that age really hurts. Not as easy to bounce back. Who knows about the state of his eye either? Could be a problem in subsequent fights.

 

Zhang was just all wrong for him. Too big, too powerful, southpaw, rock solid chin.

Joyce needs to swerve the rematch, fight Whyte and then see if he can lure one of the big 4 into the ring.

 

Not wearing his juggernaut costume was a big mistake

 

Joyce fought a very stupid fight. Joyce got too used to walking through people, but it didn't work with Zhang. After taking too many lefts Joyce's legs started going weak, so even when he tried to be more aggressive he didn't have much steam left in his punches.

I expected more lateral movement from Joyce, since he came in lighter, but instead he was standing in front of Zhang like a statue.

If Joyce does have a rematch clause he can win his title back, but he needs to start working early, since Zhang was throwing his left every time Joyce waited or hesitated.

 

Signs were there in his previous fight. Still, I'm pretty shocked at what happened.

 

Stop making excuses OP, he just isn’t good enough to be a world champion. But can do well domestically

 

Lol, he was the young'un in the fight tonight.

 

Who cares, no excuse, Zhang is older and came from a loss to win, so can do Joyce in upcoming fights

& Joyce has a much better promotion than Zhang

 

Zhang was knocked down with one punch by Jonathan Goode . Zhang doesn't have a rock solid chin. Also Zhang isn't too big or powerful. He is 6'6. Being 6'6 is some mythical height that just started. There were 6'6 250 pound guys since Buddy Baer and before. Zhang beat Joyce beat Joyce was never anything special.

 

He lost the exchanges. tried to compensate with pitty pat punches. I don't think he has anything in his arsenal to beat Zhang. His only hope is Zhang totally gassing out.

 

Not really, he lost because Zhang was a southpaw, with faster hands and good gameplan.
