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

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.

ZZ is 40 and has evidence of gassing. JJJ has golem cardio...
Reckon JJJ sets a pace and stops him late. :bag:
It was the worst performance of his career because he kept getting repeatedly slammed in the face with hard punches.

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.

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

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

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.
