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

[Stuntman Mike]

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.

Yeah joyce should rematch instantly he doesn't have time and minus the eye damage could have started getting zhang blowing into the 7th round.

His best chance is to come in heavy keep a distance for 3 rounds and then get in as close as possible with a jab and work combos making sure when he ends the combos putting everything into the body shots.

Noticed Joyce was putting a lot into the right hand and landing it but the body work is the key against zhang not big head punches to start with at least

[JakeTheBoxer]

Take Wallin or Ortiz fight than.

Fights to make allow Zhang cause of age to go after his 1 shot at a title in the meantime rebuild go beat Dubios again get the #1 contender spot then either go after a champ or AJ. Hrgovic vs the other champ in the meantime and allow wilder to do his boxing n MMA matches vs Ngannou or box AJ outright

[PRINCEKOOL]

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.

The UK since the Kiltschko era has dominated Heavyweight boxing pretty much.

It has only been recently Usyk turned up to the dance party, and Wilder was the only non-European threat and Champion.

All the primer Champions were from the UK, and some of the best contenders have been from the UK.

America has pretty much been missing since Evander Holyfield's retirement, they have not been a universal force at Heavyweight for decades.

And American fighters usually now come with negative stereotypes of being out of condition or having bad lifestyle habits.

Work on the defense, its ctastrophic to say the least. What about deadmovement, what about leg movement, its just horrible. Just take a look at Usyk. He wouldnt been hit a single time from this slow chinese giant. I cant still believe it...

[sir ronni james]

I mean HEADmovement of course,otherwise you will be dead soon :-)

[Liondw]

Honestly, the way Joyce fights, I don't see him beating Zhang, even if they fight seven nights a week.

[trippleupper]

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

Ismael Salas

[shawnkemp804]

You will say the same about Fury when somebody beats him.

Lol well Fury isn't good. Casuals overrated him because he beat a faded Wladimir Klitschko by running and only landing 86 punches in 12 rounds and Fury beat Wilder the least skilled heavyweight who has won the title in the modern age of heavyweight boxing.

[PerfectJab]

I am quiet dissapointed in Ismael Salas or does Joe Joyce just forget everything once he gets into the ring?


Salas is a very decorated trainer and has trained fighters like Felix Savon, Guillermo Rigondeaux and also Yordenis Ugas, when he defeated Pacquaio.


This iron-chin reputation of Joyce, he is taking far too much punches to the head.
Zhang was hitting him with 2 consecutive straights to the head. Joyce jabs and just stands there, right in front of his opponent
To avoid a punch a fighter should, move his feet, move his head or catch them on his glove.
If you canīt do any of these things, you have no business being in a boxing ring.
