    I mean, sure his post is blunt and probably coming from the mental energy as his usual irrelevant points, but it's right for once. I don't know if he would have lasted longer. He actually managed to not get pieced up in rd 1 and most of rd 2. Zhang was still tattooing him the left with other approach, so it's likely he just would have been a sitting duck for the left cross considering Zhang already knows he land it more or less at will.

    Perhaps but Joyce has no ring IQ and AJ has tons of it.

    It’s an interesting fight.

    You want slower dude, who was hard wobbled and destroy in first fight to attack, bullying bigger, stronger and harder hitting dude...
    You just dont get that If Joe go forward agresive way Zhang will welcome his with some atomic bombs

    And here You can say smth about Joyce head movement and his defence.

    He cant do what You want him to do. That's all. And if he will try hard he probably will take same damage little quicker.

    Did you iss the tight high guard part. Joe's arms are massive, they can cover a lot.

    Yes but he is not Abraham or Krzysztof Włodarczyk to fight like that.
    He always was wide open but got other advantage.

    He cant fight like You want him too because its not his style. Same as You say about looking for that left. He focused on this but they say im Pl commentary that he dont throw shots and if he start do it "old demons" back to him

    Yes, that's obvious. But the point of my post was, IF he fought the way I wanted him to.

    That's quiet weird. Dont take it like attack because I got massive respect to You but its just sound weird.

    U write how u think Joe should fight but You also understand that he cant. And You are angry because someone told You about his big weaknes.

    U expect too much from Joyce in that one. We all read this game wrong sometimes

    That's all this useless pos can say. Fury hasn't fought anyone remotely like Zhang, who looks like a master boxer compared to Deontay. He's also a southpaw.

    Fury won't go anywhere near him.

    Just keeps on proving how underrated Hrgovic is.

    WTF are you talking about YDKSAB.

    Price had a chin made if pure glass but could box reasonably well. Problem was he went down as soon as he was caught with anything meaningful.

    Joyce's chin is pure granite. He took 15 Price KO punches tonight, but the accumulated of punishment in this fight, and his career, has started to catch up with him.

    Yes. In the first fight the only time he was wobbled was in rd 2 when he allowed Zhang to extend fully on a left. Once he got inside Zhang was punching from the elbow and Joyce could’ve taken that all night.

    Biggest mistake was giving Zhang room to get full extension on his shots. Worse, playing counter-puncher and running into a hook while attempting said counter-punching.

    Zhang showing why he is a top fighter at HW who deserves a title shot. He made it look much easier this time. I think he’d be a threat to any HWs right now.
