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

Yes, it's a pity he spent the rest of the rounds smashing Joyce's skull with his right hand

 

I was just telling my wife, from Manchester, how British commentators are so biased.

You would think by the way they were talking, Joyce has it won like 9-1 smh.

That was a 7-3 affair for Hrgovic.

Joyce is old, slow but still has a decent chin.

 

Can't hate Hrgovic getting the nod, but 8-2 is pretty damned egregious.

Anyhow, onto the Torrez-Vianello card to keep this boxing day going!

 

The right man won. I'm not surprised by the judges' scores though, as I said I havent scored the fight but while watching it I had the feeling that the scores here were a bit too kind with joyce.

Those right hands by Hrgovic have a lot of weight in the scorecards. Too clean, too powerful, too eye catching.

 

Why not Kabayel vs. Hrgović?

 

I'm sorry, WTF is up with that ref in the Adeleye - Tshikeva fight? Calling "Break" twice and yet he still counts a knockdown against Tshikeva? I think Tshikeva's team has a very legit complaint to file.

 

You want to see Joyce die?!

 

that might actually be a fight to make now.

 

Filip got still few thing to think about.
1. He is slow starter.
2. His footwork should be much better in 1 part of fight.
3. Learn (for God sake) use Your great size. Jab!!! Where is Jab!!!
4. You cant be lazy in this level. Filip is lazy sometimes...
5. He is easy to cuts...
6. Start work on Your fitness on higher level
7. Too much try to be super power puncher- many try maximum power punch but still effect not soo perfect. Relax. Just box better. With Your size and dinamic this should work just fine.

Hope Sanchez can fix some problem and make him better. He used to work with "slower" guy with good chin and power punch. Maybe he can improve Filip.

 

easy Kabayel win

 

Bad opponent for Hrgovic right now...

 

...but Kabayel vs. Joyce isn't?

 

Hrgovic vs. Bakole would make sense...

 

Joyce is 1-4 over his last five fights now. Time to call it a career, dude takes way too much punishment in every fight.

 

As always, there's an outlier judge... 98-92 ...? I saw it a bit closer. Though I did of course give it to Hrgovic.

And both Joyce and Hrgovic were true gentlemen. I luv Joyce asking the crowd "Are you not entertained?" As good a response as I've heard to the standard "retirement" question.
