    Does Joyce implode, or does Shavers gas?

    If Shaver's came in with the right game-plan, like Dubois against AJ, then he would stop Joyce early. Joyce's chin which is somewhat overrated wouldn't have taken the power of Earnie Shavers.

    Joyce at his best outlasts him.

    It all boils down to whether or not Shavers could get rid of Joyce in first half of the fight before Joyce's superior stamina takes over in the 2nd half of the fight.

    I wanna say Joyce has it, but at the same time, I just have a feeling in my gut that Shavers would crush him.
