Joe Joyce: Underappreciated ... Fight Film Study

He hangs his chin in the air far too much for a guy will poor reflexes

 

I have not been impressed with Joyce. But I said the same things about Tyson Fury before he emerged as a champ. I'd say Joyce is about 50/50 against Dubois.

 

good point

 

I'm going to say Dubois has the weaker chin , and the fighter with the better whiskers will win. Joyce in an upset

 

Dubois is defo going to be chin checked and he didn't like it when fringe operator Lartey landed one.

 

I think Joyce will surprise a lot of people, he does not stop going forward, even John Fury called him the toughest man hes ever seen

 

I've seen some of the panels of boxing figures regarding this fight.

Big question is does DD come out fast, throwing big shots to stop JJ early. Even people that fav DD think it will start to favor JJ past mid rounds.

 

Joyce is being massively overlooked. Too many people can't look past the surface with him, and it blinds them to how smart and crafty he is. He's got great ring presence, uses his jab in a highly effective manner to disrupt other fighters' rhythms, and has a natural knack for knowing how to break guys down with his unorthodox but relentless offence. He has a tendency to get hit clean, but not nearly as much as people think, and usually when he doesn't much respect what's coming back.

I feel like I did back in the day when I seemed to be the only one rating Tyson Fury, when everyone thought he was a clumsy joke with a glass chin who'd get splattered by Haye and then Wlad. I don't think Joyce reaches the same heights as Fury, but I certainly think he beats the likes of Dubois fairly handily. Lot of people are sitting on the fence with this one and I can see why, but eff it, I'll lay it on the line and say that Joyce runs over Dubois.

 

OP sucks.
