Zhilei Zhang vs. Joseph Obey Joyce II & Pierce O'Leary vs. Kane Gardner RBR.

That’s a good point, maybe the fact that he didn’t see the punches coming is why he got hurt so much, rather than the possibility that his chin finally just “cracked” after the accumulation of so many shots in his pro career.

 

I actually thought at the time that fight with Parker might have taken something out of Joyce. Yeah he won in brutal fashion in the end but it was a slog for the big man.

 

Thought Usyk would win a belt at heavyweight but never believed he would win so easy twice against a limited Joshua or Fury would duck a fight against him.

Zhang deserves a shot for his next fight against the winner of Usyk v Hrgovic, Fury or the WBC belt stripped from Fury should he fail to face his next mandatory challenger before 2079.

 

Would that be PPV by any chance.
Inflating their income again for being absolute Shite.

 

Got to be at the York Hall on a Friday night as that is their level.

 

Honestly, Zhang deserves the big pay cheque vs AJ.

But it's funny that AJ and his team might be scared of the big bad chinaman

 

Spot on.

 

Joshua is not getting in the ring with a hard hitting 21st Chinaman.

Currently undertaking due diligence on Dave Allen just to make sure he is 0% threat for his December fight

 

Great finish by Zhang. Sometimes you’ve got to just give credit where it’s due and slaughter Joe Joyce in a separate post.

 

Why slaughter Joyce?

Got battered twice by the better man but at least had the balls to face a live threat unlike the current generation of British Heavyweights.

Zhang deserves his next fight to be for a World Title.

Enjoyed both fights.

 

Problem is Joyce may have started believing that silly talk going around on how he could take any opponent's offence to the face and eventually get to them. Wonder if his team were actually telling him that also before the Zhang fight. Defending punches with your face is a disaster waiting to happen. Eventually the body will let you down.

 

Joshua and I am shocked people were actually predicting Joyce could beat AJ. Joyce was never on AJ radar as he didn't deserve to be.

 

Couldn't believe Warren was advising Joyce to come in heavy for the rematch. He seemed to think weight was the issue for the 1st loss which is ridiculous.

 

That was a bloody good shot by Zhang as well. Joyce didn't see it coming. Would have taken any heavy out.

 

Good post and you are bang on about the handspeed.Joyce knew what was coming and knew he couldn’t avoid all of it.Was a beauty of short right hook by Zhang.
