Joe Joyce v Zhang Zhilei 4/15

[TitoFan]

I guess Hearn doesn't share the notion being floated around here (pre-Zhang) that Joyce would mop up the floor with any of the "Big Three" any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Rewatch on the massive screen. Easy to go overboard when we all get "surprised" but Zhang was the absolute picture of poise and confidence. For a massive man he has a natural and pointed but easy approach to him. He clowned Joyce with the variation on his left hand. Hearn basically shatting on and dismissing both is missing the big picture in the current stagnant division. Eddie gonna Eddie.

Eddie just wants Joyce out of the way. Joe stopped Dubois and Parker which is impressive. Stylewise Joyce should not have a rematch with Zhang, he is too old and static to change and move his head.

Joyce should smash up Whyte and get back into the equation.

Quick question. So Joyce shouldn’t take the rematch because he’ll get beat up again, so he should beat up an “on the slide” Whyte to get in a ranking position he’s not truly deserving of.
What should actually happen is that Whyte called out Joyce “if he won.” But he never won, so Whyte should call out Zhang.
As for Joyce, back to the drawing board, especially if this Saudi tournament is a goer, and fight Yoka or Bakole or even dare I say, Dubois.

Whyte has beaten Franklin so is on the rise again. Joyce needs to get back into position and a fight against Whyte is good domestically and for the rankings.

I think it is a mistake but hope he can win to avenge his loss. Joyce may as well take the contest to China and make a real event of it.
