    Does anyone think the result of the fights would've been that much different if Zhang wasn't a Southpaw?

    You could have Zhang with no legs and he still would have punched holes through Joyce.

    That would only mean Joyce most likely would have felt the hardest jab he ever felt in his life.

    Might have taken a few rounds longer but Zhang by stoppage.

    It would of allowed Joyce to establish his jab which is a big part of his game, he couldn't do it at all in both fights vs Zhang. So I think Joyce would of at least been able to establish some kind of offence.

    But in the end he still would of been open to getting caught by a hard counter. So it would probably be a more competitive fight but the end result would be the same. Joyce would get caught and stopped, Joyce is just too easy to hit and Zhang is a sneaky counter puncher who hits too damn hard.
