Relive Joyce vs Zhang 1 | A Heavyweight Upset for the Ages |

I don't get why people think this is a huge upset. Zhang was always a good boxer, even in the Olympics

[@Getithowyoulive863]

[@recodegamesstudio]

Because everyone expected Joe to win, except for the KZbin commentors who after the fight said they always picked zhang

Probably because of his stamina issues but I agree he shouldn't have been that much of an underdog. Joyce is overrated and Zhang is underrated.

[@RustyLongPipe]

Credit to Joyce taking the rematch. Can’t see what purpose the huge weight gain for the rematch serves, as I didn’t feel it was the weight differential that caused him to lose…..unless of course Joyce felt that he had somewhat drained himself in coming in a lot leaner in the first fight. Hopefully he’s been working on staying out of the way of that southpaw straight left and countering it whilst staying close. Zhang seems to like that mid range distance where his combos flow better. Joyce really should try and smother him up close with constant pressure whisky being defensively responsible.

[@nionegriffin]

Zhang was around 5 stone heavier I think they said in the 1st fight or a good few stones and Joyce came in way lighter thinking he can be faster with his hands and footwork and thought Zhang would be to slow but Zhang hits hard very hard so not a good idea plus it was Joyce who looked slower. The added weight for this fight now zhang only around 10lb heavier. The added weight could either slow Joyce down more as he's not the quickest when lighter. It may slow him down badly making him a sitting duck or he has a firefight and hopes he stops Zhang but that won't be easy Zhang is a warrior.

Joe Joyce is very tough at taking hard punches but unfortunately he can't land hard punches himself and his punching isn't for heavyweight at all unless he ups his power to a heavyweight status. Zhang on other hand is a very powerful heavyweight puncher . But in the rematch if Joyce can just punch harder, improve his head movement and footwork , he surely will beat Zhang coz Zhilei conditioning is bad and after rounds 6 he loses stamina badly.
