Joseph Obey Joyce vs. Filip Hrgović & David Adeleye vs. Jeamie Tshikeva RBR.

WAR JOYCE!

 

I want him to lose, but at the same time am rooting for him.

 

Lose, not loose.

 

But thats what I wrote.

 

How long before main card starts approximately?

 

Thanks

 

Go Joe!

Honestly, I find him to be one of the nicest guy in the boxing industry. Never heard a disrespektful word from him in any Interview I've watched.

On the one hand, regardless of how he comes across, I definetely fear for his accumalated brain damage.
On the other hand, he was a on great run before hitting the Chinese wall - putting Parker away and "outboxing" Dubois. Those wins have aged well.

So theoretically Hrgovic blasts Joe out in 3-5 rounds because Chisora landed already all night long and is definitely slower. Then again, when has Hrgovic the last time impressed? Against de Mori? Lol..

I dont know guys, with Joe being a bit slimmer again and seemingly up for it. I would not be suprised if Hrgovic is forced to empty his gas tank in the first six rounds, trying to keep up with the pace and failing to put Joe away. And then, I believe he will not be able to dig deep enough.

 

What a night.

 

Lots of boxing today and tonight. Nothing huge but some good matches.

 

I'm betting on Hrgovic.

He's younger, faster, more dynamic and probably has an even stronger jaw than Joe. On paper, the only advantages the juggernaut has are his fitness and perhaps his ferocity in the ring, although the situation is less clear here.

But to the point. In my opinion, how this fight will look will depend on how much Filip Joe feels his punches. If he feels respect/gets hurt, Filip will win clearly, even if not before the time.

However, if Filip's punches roll off him like water off a duck's back, the Croatian will have a hell of a tough evening in which he will have to make a lot of sacrifices in the ring and show a lot of heart and character to snatch victory. Especially in the later rounds, where he can get out of breath, while Joe is quite the opposite.

Everyone talks about how Joe is finished and how past prime he is but I want to remind you that even if Zhang took away a lot of his quality, the guy was still able to throw over 800 punches in 10 rounds in his last fight + he landed more than Chisora in 6 of them. If it wasn't for KD, which unfortunately happened to him in the best round in a fight where he was simply beating Chisora very clearly, he could have easily snatched it for himself with fair judging.

Overall, I'm looking forward to this fight because I've been writing for a long time that they would organize it. In fact, right after Whyte dropped out, I mentioned it again in the comments and got a little gift from the promoters.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Filip because in my opinion if he took his career seriously, he'll be able to stir things up a bit more. Joe probably won't because he's at the right age.

I hope they both stay healthy after this fight. They are tough guys and they treat defense as some strange, incomprehensible black magic, so it can be very intense at times, and they are big guys who can also "slap" hard.
