If Joyce was a Kiei would you say the same thing? I love nationalistic bias in boxing,makes things more passionate but I doubt you are thinking with anything other than your heart here.
I will not be surprised if Parker wins also by KO Joyce is get a lot of praise for very few professional credentials so far. Parker has ability to counter punch and beat to punch over the Joyce also I can see Joyce capable of big win So is a very good match Yes
Beating up and failing to stop a completely shot to ****, endlessly recycled Chisora isnt evidence of a change. If Parker beats Joyce then that is some form which we can all then start to believe in. There were some small signs in the Chisora fight, but that could have been down to Chisora's denuded state as anything else.
I'm looking forward to seeing Parker end the hype train that is Joe Joyce. If AJ and Whyte couldn't knock Parker out, Joyce sure as hell can't. But hey, let's keep praising Joyce for knocking out a faded Hammer... Even Wilder would get laughed at for fighting the level of opposition Joyce has.
If I was a pro boxer I'd be like Parker without the iron chin Full of spunk then suddenly get tired and the fight totally goes out of me as I gasp for air and look for the finish line. To be a great fighter you either need a great 2nd wind, full fight stamina or able to control the pace of the fight. Parker can't. Even AJ managed to find a 2nd wind against Wlad. Joyce just needs to set the tempo just above parkers threshold and not allow him to run away with it early doors. Could be a close fight, could be a great fight. Two iron men.
Parker absolutely has the skill set to beat Joyce, who for whatever reason is extremely overrated on here. I just hope he doesn't fall asleep during the fight, but even then the slow, and easy to hit Joyce will give him a lot of openings to capitalize on. I'm not convinced Joyce won't totally seize up ala Joshua or Bruno when badly stunned, and Parker is a massive step up from the corpses JJ has been facing for most of his career.
Joyce needs to put joey twelve away in under twelve to make a real statement, show he's a cut above the parker-ruiz-joshua-chisora-whyteleafe round robin of tier two fodder. Parker doesn't have that DOG in him to make it at the top top level, whereas Joyce is a fcking relentless granite jawed come forwards machine with wrecking balls for fists and an elite gas tank. I'm going for Joyce KO. Joe Juggernaut Joyce NO Brain YES Chin YES Heart Joey twelve parker NO Brain YES Chin NO Heart
Parker could cause Joyce issues with his fast hands but no way he stops him. When is the last time Parker stopped anyone remotely decent ? He's got some power but lacks explosiveness and is a poor finisher. I think Joyce will get a UD. His relentless work rate and punch variety will cause Parker endless trouble. If Parker stops Joyce I'll eat my hat. And I like my hat.
Joyce didn't "seize up" from Dubois landing rights on him. Parker is not a huge puncher and certainly doesn't hit harder than Dubois but you think Parker could stun him?
