After he pinches himself he probably starts calling out his fingers

Joyce was fucking awful.

Slow,cumbersome,and wide open.....and zero idea how to combat the threat that was coming his way.

Joe Joyce is a gentleman, huge heart and classy in defeat but that was painful to watch. His positioning against a Southpaw was suicide. It is always difficult against that style if you are not used to it, but everytime he stood in the firing line of that left hand.

I hope he comes back an the eye is not too damaged.

Totally agree with you.
It looked like he's never spared against a southpaw before let alone fights one

It was mental. I know Joyce has little in the way of head movement but even the basics of rotating and side stepping to Zhangs right he didn't do. The whole fight he was the wrong side of Zhangs fists.

Joe's age old tactic of blocking punches with his head has finally caught up with him.

He's always looked slow and cumbersome but that's just his style. He could probably punch a lot harder than he he does but never really loads up with his shots and tends to wear his opponents down. If it wasn't for the eye injury this may have even happened again last night.

After throwing his combinations he doesn't move and is too static. Far too easy to hit and over reliant on having a great chin.

Seems like a really nice bloke but there are huge deficiencies in his style and the amount of shots he absorbs can't be healthy long term.

Surely he knew what to expect and had southpaws in his camp but tbh he thought he just had to turn up and win and that’s what cost him .

Fury has to punch himself because of just how shit this division is.

Joyce looked like he did nothing in the build to the fight in training camp with fighting a southpaw, I did not watch the fight until this morning, but listen to it live on talksport last night and all saying the same thing, Joyce was so open to the punch down the pipe with and little movement, you have to move over a step or 2 when fighting a southpaw and not be open chested, From what i seen this morning in the fight Joyce was very poorly managed in the training camp and his only hope was his power bunch but was not enough to beat the other guy,

Joyce was ranked by many as the next big thing, Even the Fury's was bigging him up and saying he is the next big fight for Tyson, well Joyce will need a new trainer and a camp that knows how to set you up for a fight properly
