50 50 fight it is impossible to predict who will win. I lean on close points victory for Joyce but it can easily go the other way. In any case, a really good fight. There´s plenty of life left in Frank Warren.
Great match up. I think Joyce takes it. Not a massively confident pick as Parker can fight and is tough. I feel Joyce is on the ascendency and will be clever enough to bag a points win in a close fight.
Good fight this and I fancy Joyce to knock Parker out. They're both good lads but ever since the Dubois fight, Joyce is someone I could really get behind.
It's a good, even match-up, and I think that will be reflected in a close fight. I think Joyce might need the stoppage for the win, as I could see Parker landing lots of clean shots, with him having the advantage in speed, Joyce isn't hard to hit but I don't see Parker putting a dent in Joyce. Parker might take an early lead but eventually get wore down and stopped by the Juggernaut late. Then again Parker is tough as old boots too and never been stopped. Very intriguing fight that I look forward to and will be rooting for the big Juggernaut all the way.
Exactly my thinking…Joyce struggled with Bryant Jennings. The Dubois fight showed he can box to a game plan. My head says Parker but heart says Joyce and I’m going with heart.
Parker likes to box at his own pace and struggles when someone else dictates to him - it’s why Del Boy managed to run him close first time just by sheer work rate. He has respectable power but no better than the fighters who haven’t so much as put a dent in Joyce, so I just can’t see Parker keeping Joe off for long enough to win rounds. I can see Parker having success picking off Joe but largely being too inactive to win enough rounds. Parker has a good chin so should avoid being knocked out but likely will be out worked to a points decision.
I would to. But won't happen as Joyce Parker lined up for PPV. Frank won't want to risk that, so expect an interim east touch for Joyce.
I think Parker is probably capable of boxing Joyce on the backfoot for 12 rounds and winning a UD. He will have to be super fit and produce the performance of his career to do it though. I think it's more probable that Joyce eventually wears him down and stops him late.
