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