    Best of a mediocre bunch but will be very good as a pro.

    I don't think they are any worse than the 2012 team, only difference we got home decisions at 2012. Guys like Joyce, Buatsi and Yafai will be good pro's imo.

    Bit raw for my liking.. Joyce is the subtle art.. he looks lumbering and limited.. but he's always doing the right thing aka the jab..

    He was comfortably outboxed yesterday. He was looking to walk forward and bang but Niyazymbetov was too cute.

    I do agree that his style will fit well in the pro game though.

    He's really fun to watch, like watching someone fight in a pub at times, but he puts some nice combos together and has a really good engine.

    What's the guy he's fighting in the final like?

    He's been beaten by this guy before can't see him winning unfortunately...joyce looks clumsy and stiff but he's got a great engine and has good power and seems tough he just keeps coming forward so he's got a Chance against anyone.

    Looking forward to him hitting the pro game, at 30 years old and the size he is he's got a good 5/6 years of his prime left in him especially seeing as he took boxing up late at 23. That engine of his and toughness could take him far once he gets into 12 round fights
