Joe Joyce vs. Zhang Zhilei | BT Sport - 15 April 2023

[THEBUTCH]

Dubois belted Joyce a good fews times but amazingly Joe just walked right through them

I'm all over this fight. I reckon Joyce will win big, but if we get treated to an entertaining slugfest...what's not to like

100% agree, I normally always support the British fighter and I like JJ but I would be quietly pleased if Big Bang won

[THEBUTCH]

I'm an unashamed supporter of The Juggernaut because he delivers to the fans. Good opposition, good performances and the guy keeps winning

TBH if Big Bang can derail The Juggernaut then he deserves all the accolades that should come his way.

Two big guys who like a fight and prepared to put it all on the line

Totally agree with all this. Would add in that they both seem like really good guys, too.

[Autobarn]

should be an interesting test. if there is anything not absolutely rock solid about Joyce, in terms of basic skills, strength or stamina it may become apparent vs the huge southpaw.

personally I think Joyce should be able to put in a complete performance, to overcome a few rocky moments and make a statement. I would be very impressed if he could make a serious dent in the Chinese visitor.

Zhang had that good fight with Hrgoivic but that guy looked temperamental, jittery, exhausted and for every flashy combo he threw, he did something odd, like turn his back or gas.

obviously a way easier fight to make than, say, Joyce vs Hrgovic, yet should still aid the development of "The Juggernaut."

[Ruthless-RKO]

[wrighty]

I rate zhang highly. He was unlucky against Hrgovic. It looked like he struggled with the heat. Major statement for either man if they get the win.

word is that joyce has already started his ring walk for this fight, should leave him with just enough time to make it on schedule

That channel is seriously trash. No knowledge just Internet gossip from a non boxing man. Shocking.

What's ironic about Joyce, he's pretty mobile on his feet, especially for his size. The thing is, his hands move like in a slow motion, that brought all those jokes about his speed.

[tigermoth87]

Should be a good fight this. Joyce by KO in the mid rounds after a competitive fight. Joyce will eat some good shots, but his chin is solid

[Manchester Hitman]

Any whispers about McCann and Noakes’ opponents?
I’m planning to go to this show, but I would like a couple decent opps for these guys

[big lennox]

Can't wait for this fight:

[polecateddy]

Zhilei has to follow the blueprint of Bruno/McCall. Hit him hard enough in the first two rounds that Joyce goes quiet. It’s a big ask though!

Well he is in America so makes sense lol

This has to lose money. It was essentially a four hour ppv advert for the undisputed, with a decent top of the bill to get people interested.

You’d imagine so. I looked at tickets a few weeks back and they were struggling for it.

BT are seemingly just doing one U.K. show a month - surprised if Frank will be able to keep his fighters active and happy.

[Cyclops]

I see Moses Itauma is fighting on the undercard. Anything would be a step up from the bloke he fought on the Beterbiev-Yarde card, who threw himself on the ground as soon as he was grazed by a punch.

If he’s going to build a highlight reel, he needs opponents that will actually let him hit them.

[margaret thatcher]

,moses' opponent last night was just as bad as the first, a 5'9 butterball who laid down instantly, smirking while he was counted out after 20 seconds

these fights are just embarassing, if anything they make him look bad

[gregregegg]

Moses is just getting numbers in. They shouldent be sanctioned but if the board will allow it and as long as he is racking em up every few weeks it’s probably not a bad idea. Get 10 wins in 9 months and then step through the gears.

They do zero for his development, for now that’s in the gym, it just mean he can be 20-0 hunting for a world title in a couple of years (if he is good enough)….

I love quick step ups, but if I had the backing I think getting a quick 10 in is smart, Mabey have the last couple at least be durable… Then area title, English, commonwealth, Britishx3, euro and worlds… (obviously depends who has what belt)

[margaret thatcher]

obviously he's getting the numbers in ...............why stoop so low though? it just makes his highlight reel LOL because all you'll see is an obvious flop from a midget butterball. they actually flew that guy in for that! embarasssing stuff

[Ruthless-RKO]

Isn’t he like 19?

They ain’t in no rush.

[margaret thatcher]

no sh!t

at least they've already built him a 20 second highlight reel of phantom punch knockouts. the stumpy argie butterball was even giving a big bright smile as he lounged on the canvas

might be the most LOL start ive seen to a hot prospect's career. obviously he's got tons of time and doesn't need to be fast tracked, but there's no good reason to stoop so low. look at the talk about his fights......the vast majority is about how embarassing they were, not about how good moses is. if you show ppl the highlights you'll get some good chuckles.
