Joe Joyce's chin

B+ the of chin. Joyce can take a punch. His problem is he can't pull the trigger, and is not longer the Juggernaut. He's cautious and slow.

 

"Joe Joyce is weak in the gut. That's how Jennings surprised him. Hey, you hear me? Go for the stomach. And stay away from his riiiggghhht leg."

That's what Dubois's corner should have been telling him.

 

Something to that effect yes

I don't think i saw a decent body shot from DDD tonight

 

This. After taking a few hard shots in the early rounds Joyce started slipping and rolling with a lot of the shots.

 

He's got a huge square head and is very big boned so he can absorb a lot of punishment, but he's also deceptively good at deflecting shots, and the way he keeps his arms out makes it difficult for fighters to get full torque on their right hands, especially if they have to punch up at him. Same way Foreman was very difficult to hurt. When he takes one clean on the chin though he doesn't even blink. Reminds me of Valuev.

 

Class A whiskers on evidence so far.

 

You mean the same right hand that landed flush on glass-chinned Szpilika's mandible multiple times with little effect?

 

Unbelievable chin and a brutally strong fighter, too bad he has also one of the slowest hands in the business.

 

Joyce's punches are so slow not only can you see them coming you can see Joyce THINKING about throwing a punch.

 

I think he's the slowest pro boxer in the top 50. Honestly Valuev was visibly quicker.

 

That’s why he’s so focused on using the jab. It’s the straightest punch and it doesn’t have to travel a long distance. Makes him look... not slow.

 

He has an A- chin

Frank will be regretting not sitting on the fence now as no way does Joe stay with him after how he acted pre fight.

Joe is off to matchroom for the Usyk fight

 

He's got a grade A chin. I've seen him get hit in previous fights and he looks happy to take them. In the Jennings fight, he took a flush combo, laughs and throws his own combo in return. That's who you're up against. A rock of a man who throws volume of punches in return. They may not be powerful, but they will accumulate.

Joyce reminds me of Margarito a bit. Slow fighter with a cinder block for a head and throws a lot of punches. If you can't out-speed him or stop him from coming forward, he's going to put a beating on you.

 

Possibly the best chin in the division. I can only think of him and parker who i would class as granite chins.

Everyone else has been flattened.

Heres a funny thing though, if joyce is so slow why is everyone letting him hit them in the face and getting knocked out
