Zhilei Zhang vs Joe Joyce 2 Round Betting Tips

Zhilei Zhang comes into this fight as a the slight 4/5 betting favourite with the best online gambling sites. It is clear to see why this is the case, given the fact he won the first fight so conclusively and annihilated Joyce within six rounds just five months ago.

However, here at SportsLens we can see Britain’s Joe Joyce righting the wrongs from the first fight by overcoming adversity and securing a knockout of his own this time. Betting on a particular method of victory will certainly gives punters added value when selecting their boxing bets.

The reason we are siding with ‘The Juggernaut’ to win this fight fight stoppage in Rounds 7-12 is because he is a notoriously strong finisher, whilst Zhang had stamina issues and fades as the fight goes on. If Joyce can stay out of harms way of Zhang’s big backhand left and piercing southpaw jab for the first 4/5 rounds, we think ‘Big Bang’ will begin to tire which is when Joyce can capitalise.

Additionally, the ball is in Joyce’s court. Zhang is the one who won the first fight and knows he can win on the back foot, scoring with his jab all night long. The fight will almost certainly go longer than the first one, and we fancy it going into the second half before Joe Joyce secures his 15th knockout victory.

Zhang vs Joyce 2 Individual Round Betting Tip

Given the fact our round betting tips for the Zhang vs Joyce rematch is for Joyce to win by knockout in Rounds 7-12, selecting an individual round in which the fight will end presents boxing bettors with even better value than just fight outright or method of victory.

A lot of people will fancy the fight to end via knockout again, whether that be in favour of ‘The Juggernaut’ or ‘Big Bang’. So, if you do think the Zhang vs Joyce rematch is destined to end via KO/TKO, the best value could be in backing Joe Joyce to win via stoppage in an individual round late on.

‘Big Bang’ won the fight in Round 6 last time out, grinding Joyce down before he had to be stopped due to sustaining serious eye damage. We simply cannot see this being the case this time around with ‘Joyce’ being far more wary of the threat that Smith poses this time around.

If Joyce is to win the fight via knockout, it is likely going to be in the later rounds. The reason we see this fight going longer is because Joyce has so much to lose. Not only that, but he will have learnt his lesson from the first fight and can certainly win this fight late on if he moves his head and stays out of harms way of Zhang’s clubbing shots early on.
