Jennings movement will be a good test for Joyce. - But Jennings certainly doesn't have the offense to cause Joyce any real trouble. It's a very smart matchup by team Joyce, if they pull it off. Anyone saying this is too soon should remember how old Joyce is.
They only need 3 or so bridging fights & he'll be ready for the likes of Jennings. Taking that fight next up is irresponsible & silly. I understand the need to move him quickly but you need to lay a platform first.
In an ideal scenario that's what I'm sure Haye and Joyce would prefer too, but Haye simply doesn't have the money to pay for these type of bridging opponents to give Joyce the experience he needs before stepping up further. They've tried to entice Chisora into a fight for a while now but what they are offering simply isn't enough. So it's either take a big risk now when there is an opponent that maybe willing to take it, or wait, keep KOing the Bacurins of the division and hope another opportunity unfolds soon.
Jennings could take Joyce the full distance, which is obviously great for Joyce. Excellent fight, much better than Chisora.
