Hmm? this didn't age well. Joyce looked horrible and Ali looked worse than I thought he was if that's even possible. Joyce better hurry to the cash out line because the guy I saw tonight could lose to a lot of fighters, and he showed absolutely nothing that would get him a bigger money fight
Joyce looked shot against Ali, who was in survival mode the entire fight. I’m not sure he can beat Wilder after how he performed tonight. He looked slow and plodding, unsure of his punches.
Joyce is terrible. Kash Ali was tagging him at will and would have seen that one out had the ref had allowed him to continue. Next live opponent ends Joyces career. Wouldn't even shock me if a tomato can did.
Rigged stoppage Ali was up before 10 easily This is Joyce's level and he seems incapable of learning new things.
So are the Saudis actually going through with a Wilder v Joyce fight as was reported a few days ago? Both of these guys have been nothing short of embarrassing in their last outings. Is there any reason to be excited for such a matchup? Two 38 year olds with the clock ticking, but both have shown little desire to want to make a statement with their remaining years.
I was expecting Joe Joyce to look slow and plodding and hittable but he exceeded even my expectations.
I was more than a little disappointed at that stoppage. I had a bet on a points win for Joyce at 16/1, big odds because everyone thought it would be over in a couple of rounds.
We know defensively Joyce is rubbish but offensively has in the past been relentless. But against a very limited opponent last night he looked pretty clueless and was unable to go through any gears. Joyce was overweight and lacked any plan. I can't see the Wilder fight going ahead and I'm not sure what lies ahead for Joyce but I very much it includes title fights now.
It was a crap stoppage to keep Joyce's KO percentage high and not make him look like a complete ploddy failure in his comeback. The referee went something like five, six, seveneightnineten! Then waved it off. Totally crappy. At least Joyce get a decent meal out of it. He was eating those right hands all night long.
Slowest punch delivery of all time, that’s Joe Joyce. Snorlax. How anyone on here kept calling him good in the past is crazy. Garbage fighter
I have to agree with your and other like comments. I saw the highlights of the fight. Sheesh, I have no desire to see the entire borefest. Joe did look slower than usual. As others have noted, the stoppage also looked bogus. Given Parker's recent resurgence, difficult to reason how Joyce beat him. Based on that performance many (most?) top HWs defeat Joyce.
hard to believe before the zhang fights you had people thinking joyce maybe the 3rd best hw in the world lol.. hes always been meh.. hes slow plods his pressure and output was only promising factors...was only matter of time tell his chin cracke cause he dodges 0 god damn shots .
