The Boxing thread

He seems so slow.

They both do, at least Zhang can get a job as a Budha when he retires, that’s the end of Joyce’s career right there.

 

[Josh_D]

That was a devastating shot! I can only sigh.

Zhang was patient. Stuck to what worked in the first fight. Kept finding his mark.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Great finish, Joyce was a rabbit in the headlights from the first bell.

 

[Nascent Blues]

That's a sleeper.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Goodnight

Joyce slow looked mentally scarred from the first fight.

 

[Josh_D]

This is why it’s dangerous to keep mentioning ‘granite’ chin. As once such a ‘weapon’ is broken, you won’t know what else to rely on.

No point keeping your head on the centre line to eat shots especially when you know you struggled.

Buy a house in the country Joe and breathe easy from the interest.

Had Zhang to ko Joyce in the 1st and 2nd.
So he does it in the 3rd. Cheers
Joyce had nowhere to go but to exercise the rematch but he clearly didn't fancy it.
Looked shit scared of him

 

[Josh_D]

Zhang isn’t quick but one has to applaud that he sticks to the fundamentals and you can tell he has a game plan.

Sets up shots with the jabs, and then lets fly. He also doesn’t get flustered. Just resets and goes again. Credit where it’s due.

It didn't even look like Joe was a boxer to be honest. Something has gone badly wrong there, and he looked mentally frail and devoid of skill. That first fight was obviously extremely damaging and the shot tonight just ended what looked inevitable. Best wishes Joe Joyce.

 

[leighton]

Joe Joyce should retire now. There are some fighters with great chins his is sadly not Wayne McCullough comes to mind a great chin but also a great defense Joyce lacks the defence all of the time

 

[Nascent Blues]

Think Joyce needs to be in a hospital, regardless of whether he's walking or not.

I believe he should just take some time off.

It’ll do him some good. He should be more than just a guy with a ‘granite chin’

 

[Brewster's millions]

Obviously a nasty knockout but Joyce is lucky to have got out of there without being seriously injured tonight.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Absolutely, don't think he threw one punch in anger.

Honestly, he looked like he was stoned, his reactions we're so slow and cumbersome.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Absolutely, don't think he threw one punch in anger.

He looked like a pad man throwing the dummy punches that tickle the boxers shoulders in the warm ups.

Genuinely think I'd be able to take any punch that Joyce threw tonight and I'm soft as shite.

Haha. You’re on your own with that BB.

You couldn't pay me enough to take a hit from a heavyweight but I do agree. No intent behind his punches at all.
