Round-by-Round: Zhilei Zhang vs. Joe Joyce II | TNT Sports - 23 September 2023

[jameswilson]

Bit odd laughing about the size difference between Frampton and Joyce. We know Joyce is 14 inches taller.

[MasterG]

Well thats the Sweet Caroline montage done. Come on crowd do your chanting to Blur

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yarde preparing for his next world title fight with this..

Yarde is only unlucky that the LHW has always had good contenders and champions.

Belts have hardly ever been vacant.

He’s only a baby, he will win one.

[jwfg]

Don't agree.

Last fight was the worst performance of his career, doesn't need to improve THAT much to flip the fine margins.
ZZ is 40 and has evidence of gassing. JJJ has golem cardio...
Reckon JJJ sets a pace and stops him late.

It was the worst performance of his career because he kept getting repeatedly slammed in the face with hard punches.

This entrance song has the crowd pumping...

[jwfg]

JJ looks nervous as hell walking to the ring.

[MightyWarrior]

Cmon Big Joe

Stay out of big trouble in little china for six rounds and he wins this

[Ruthless-RKO]

JJJ has the best ring music in boxing today..

[Neil Gee]

It's not about Joyce's speed or lack of it but it is about avoiding damage in the early stages when Zhilei has the advantage. No amount of training is going to make much difference to the contrast in speed between them.

Wiry the awkward dance

Of course, let's see if Joe can avoid a few this time...

Career heaviest?

[MightyWarrior]

The man from China looks like an executioner on the Ring walk

How’s his chin? if Jo can crack it early…

[MightyWarrior]

Joe looks a bit too calm ,,

[Grilling Machine]

Full credit to these two for going again. Both had easier options.

[Neil Gee]

The thing is we know from the first fight that the man from China is going to slow down quickly.

[Tugger28]

Joyce is awful

[Ruthless-RKO]

Poor round..

Let it off. Only rd1

[joshj909]

Poor round..

Let it off. Only rd1

Don't think either of them deserved to win that round

[jameswilson]

Just the odd straight shots at the body from both in the first.

I weirdly feel like this may turn into a bit of a boring Hrgovic v McKean type fight based off that first round. At the same time I can’t see how Joyce can continue that timidly for a whole fight.
