The coach’s breakdown of the fight has provided some insight into the factors that possibly led to Joyce’s loss and has reignited interest in the fight among boxing fans.

It is clear that Zhang was able to capitalize on this weakness in Joyce’s style and ultimately secure the victory. However, Benjamin also noted that Joyce is a skilled fighter who will make adjustments and come back stronger in future fights.
