    Joyce is in slightly better shape than he was in his last 3 fights but still not in the best shape.

    But Hrgovic has shown up at a career high weight and given his known stamina issues that could be a big mistake. Maybe think they have to get Joyce out early and come in heavier to add power and try to do what Parker did to Bakole.

    I'm favouring Joyce.

    If Joyce's chin hasn't given up yet and he can take Hrgovic punches, then he's got a chance here, especially in the 2nd half of the fight.

    Many favor Joyce because he knocked out Parker, so they expect him to knock out Hrgovic even more easily, styles make fights...

    Joyce is past his best but I still think he matches up well against Hrgovic if his chin holds up (and I expect it to hold up considering how Dubois took Hrgovic's power)

    Can see him bullying Hrgovic and breaking him down late on, although it's only 10 rounds.

    So is Chapman an actual grave digger? Why didn’t he go with that for his ring name instead of caretaker? I mean, you’d think that would write itself.

    Hrgovic is a bad style match up for Big Joe for the first half of the fight, Big Joe is a bad style match up for him for the second half.

    Hrgovic should be able to light Big Joe up with ease for 4-6 rounds but I'm not sure, whilst a hard puncher, he possesses the power to stop him early or get him out of there before he gasses, especially after taking the fight at late notice against a 275lb stamina machine marathon runner like Big Joe who has an excellent chin. Let's not forget only Big Bang has stopped him and he's arguably the biggest puncher in the division and was much heavier than Hrgovic.

    Also, there's a chance Hrgovic's cuts might reopen and if that happens and he starts to gas things can easily go pear shaped for him as Big Joe is the last fighter on the planet you want to be running out of gas against.

    I think Hrgovic should win but it all depends on what kind of shape he's in and if he has the gas to either win on points or get Big Joe out of there whilst he still has air in his lungs.
