    I’ll be backing Joyce in the rematch. I hope to get a good price with the amount of people that seem to be siding with Zhang.

    I don’t think he is a bad matchup, smaller fighters I think generally have given him more problems. Big lumbering types are tailor made for joshua.
    Joyce has seemingly good stamina but that’s it really, his movement makes Joshua look fluid.

    There's no doubt Zhang tires as the fight goes on but I don't think Joyce could last till the later rounds in the rematch.

    I think a slick fighter that moves would do best against Zhang and that ain't Joe.

    Zhang knows he got the better of him in first fight and will be super confident

    I would really hope Joyce could do it, but my worry would be that the first fight was so surprisingly 1 sided I struggle to see that he could make enough changes to challenge him. I don't doubt Zhang will tire, but the ease in which he was hitting Joyce, and cleanly was alarming, it was like he was practicing on the bags at times.

    Joyce has heart and an engine, but he is going to have to bring something else to the table in a rematch, as much as I hope he does, I just don't see it

    Still think this is a massive mistake by Joyce as a defeat sets him back even further.

    Defeat means the end mate. Nobody will need him.
