Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Reveals He May Take Interim-Fight Before Zhilei Zhang Rematch

[hugh grant]

Let Zhang beat fury first then Zhang will give you first shot in rematch

[champion4ever]

That’s not a bad idea at all. Besides, The “Juggernaut”could use a good confidence builder before challenging Zhang again.

It's shameful racism is REAL even among boxing fans. AJ and Joyce who's better now?? Zhang is no whr near USYX boxing mentality but u all buried AJ even tho he really improved in the rematch. Joyce at 37 want interim fight before fighting an UNKNOWN Zhang?? But no one gave AJ any credit for beating Ruiz in immediate rematch!! AJ rallied a lacerated Usyx in his two losses and Joyce couldn't hurt Zhang. 6 rounds TKO loss IN a nobody Zhang is no match to decision loss in 24rounds against a slick, fluid, elite Usyx. Lets us be fair in daring Boxers loss. Joe loss is worst. I believe Joe Joyce will back off with his bandwagon. Let's have AJ vs Joe Joyce and u choose

Joyce decision to reduce his weight for this fight was unnecessary. It didn't improve any of his skills.

[FeFist]

Wouldn't hurt him to fight another southpaw. He looked completely clueless in there. Didn’t know how to set his punches up, didn't know how to protect himself against that lefthand.

The juggernaut is in the garage for repairs

Joyce and Joshua are both black, so where does the racism come into it.
I agree that Joyce should get straight back in there with Zhang.

If it's an "immediate rematch" clause doesn't that mean Joyce has to immediately rematch zhiang? An interim fight would invalidate the clause?

[MMegatron]

Joyce got badly exposed here. Now everyone can see why Fury has been pushing him as an opponent. Just comes forward slowly with very little variation like a practice target. Finally, we’ve seen a guy strong enough to hurt him. Albeit that was obviously also the worst performance I’ve seen him give.

[Stuntman Mike]

Absolutely. He came in lighter, so you're thinking...maybe he's been working on his speed and footwork, evading shots.

Nope. He was just a smaller juggernaut plodding onto shots with no perceivable game plan.

As a Brit it gets a little annoying how poor some our coaching is showing up to be in recent years.

Joyce won't have time to rebuild at his age. It's over.

Credit to Zhang.

Isn't Joyce's trainer the Cuban guy who used to train cotto?
