Odds are strange. I will not bet on that fight. This will be the first time since Joyce vs DD, that I will not beat on/against Joyce.
Joyce needs to get back on that irradiated beef he was using for Joe Parker which Usyk has been handing out
I don't think the fight will be much diffrent. Unless something was physically wrong with Joyce in the 1st match. The result will be the same. One sided whoopin. I know they trained Joyce to keep his head off the center line, step around after throwing and all that, but no tune up to see if any of that stuck? I think that straight left of Zhang will find the target over and over.
I believe Big Joe can make adjustments and avenge his loss but I can just as easily see Big Bang repeating the trick again. It's a difficult one to call. Big Joe gets hit too much and Big Bang hits really hard Big Bang's too skillful and sneaky quick not to be able to land But Big Joe can hit too though and if he can avoid getting hit too much himself during the first half of the fight he can drag Big Bang into deep water and drown him Big Joe will need to switch to Brit Slickness mode and his slow-fast speed needs to be on point, the perfect equilibrium between slow and fast. Slightly too fast or slightly too slow and he will lose
,,and 37 year old fighters don't change. He might try but when the spaghetti hits the fan he'll be the same Joyce and start taking shots. If he keeps his hands up he might go the distance
Joyce would have to change so much to have a chance here. Unfortunately Zhang is just a class above him.
Joe has to avoid a shellacking for the first 4 -5 rounds. . Thats how long it takes him to loosen up and find his rhythm. I just can't see how he does that. He looked made to order for Big Bang. Arroela suffered the exact same faith when he rematched Stiverne. Come forward guys are made to order for hard hitting counter punchers
For those saying that Joyce can make all of these adjustments to win the fight, wouldn’t Zhang and his team also make adjustments in anticipation of Joyce having improved? Or do you think Zhang will come in there thinking it will be exactly like the first fight?
Joyce stops him late this time. I like Zhang but I can’t count on him coming in prepared twice in a row, especially at his age. I have a lot more faith in Joyce making the right adjustments.
