EBU orders Joyce vs Huck

Huck is beyond shot, even at "only" 34 years old. I don't expect much of him here but heck I'll take it as a half-way decent C level HW scrap. Bring it on, I'll watch.

 

Now that’s a boring hug fest I don’t want to see. Huck isn’t even a shadow of former self, except the dirty tricks.

(will watch anyway, of course)

 

Even though Huck is only one year older than Joyce this might be one of those fights where an old veteran pulls off the upset against a prospect.

 

Yeah. I somehow figured you'd say this and I agree. Huck brawls and mauls him inside. Joyce doesn't like getting hit and doesn't take a particularly good shot either. Huck may not be as crisp of a puncher as Jennings but he's meaner and swarms when he hurts you. If Huck still has a good amount left in the tank I'll pick him in a minor upset(honestly wouldn't be that huge of one)

 

I'd like to see this fight. Gonna be a lot of clubbing shots landing hard. Someone is gonna get stopped. As Joyce is by far the larger and fresher of the two, I'd pick him in a slobber knocker

 

Joyce doesn't take a good shot? Huh?

 

Chin is suspect to say the least yeah. I like the dude but thats definitely a very Shakey mandible.

 

Fair enough but what lead you to that
Conclusion? Based on what?

 

Lol, hes gonna walk him down like hes F all imo..Joyce is gonna stop him in 6 one sided rounds..To worn to put up much resistance I think, and Joyce just keeps throwing, even if Huck tags him he'll at worst momentarily just have to regroup.. Stiverne was it ?? Was landing the odd bone cruncher on Joyce, it was like a Geale v GGG moment, where he was coming back when caught instantly..Only the big boys I feel can deal with Joyce, and Usyk, even Hunter imo has major problems with Joyce

 

Vlad Sirenko would certainly disagree with you. they went at it hard not long ago and last one who did that with Sirenko was DDD who got dropped. If you are taking Sirenkos punches even in sparring ,you need a chin if hes trying to match firepower.

Joyce if anything has to take a good punch bc the open defense where he takes a few to land himself at times. Stiverne if anything can punch and hit him as clean as anyone can,and didn't budge him.as soon as the bell rang .

 

Amateurs, being stunned a few times in the pros. I don't think he's hiding Price or Fraudley levels of china but I think it will definitely be a hindrance as he progresses. His leaky defense and style will only exacerbate things further.

 

"imma hit you boy!"

"alright, see you & your fist in a week! expect my counter shot in a fortnight!"
