Joe Joyce vs Dillian Whyte and Lawrence Okolie vs Richard Riakporhe set for April 5

Joyce’s fall from grace feels like it has been quick. Not long ago he would have been a heavy favorite to take Whyte out within 5 rounds but after seeing him lose to Chisora I wouldn’t be surprised if Whyte stops him. Those 2 fights with Zhang completely up ended him.

 

i think whyte has more left than joyce at this point.

 

Joyce-Whyte is how to do promoting. Both these guys are in outer darkness, but because both are brands in Britain, the winner is resurrected for one more go. And as two action fighters, it could be a good one.

Okolie-Riakporhe is how NOT to do promoting. Two giant bums who spent most of their time boiling down to cruiser because they were afraid to fight real heavies...so now they come up and fight each other. Only makes sense in boxing, and because of their manlove styles, it is going to be boring and a little creepy.

 

I'm actually interested in both of these fights, I don't think either is at the top level but they should be entertaining none the less.

For Joyce vs Whyte it seems like a loser retires, winner moves up for a last pay day kind of fight.

Where as Okolie vs Riakporhe will be interesting to see where they actually sit in heavyweight, Okolie seems to be actually trying to fight and be a bit more entertaining these days so I'll be curious to see how long that lasts against a higher level opponent.

 

Joyce -Whyte is the match I hadn't known I wanted bad until now.

 

Joyce isn't near as shot as Whyte is. Should be an easy KO for Joyce.

 

Hopefully whyte or joyce can use the momentum to go on another run. Would be great is joyce could get another shot at zhang.

 

"Whyte is fighting Joyce because this will help Joshua duck Dubois."
Wtf did I just read?

 

I had Chisora beating joyce 98-91.I thought it was an annihilation.I voted for Whyte.

 

No love for the octopus lol

Just because Zhang, probably one of the heaviest-handed punchers in history, smashed Joyce doesn't mean a shot Whyte will. Did you see how long it took Whyte to get Ebenezer Whoever out of there last time out? Joyce meanwhile took bombs from Chisora all night without issue apart from a flash knockdown after which he immediately continued to lumber at a fleeing Chisora.

I think Whyte could outbox Joyce to a decision here though. It really depends who's more shot.

 

Joyce can lose virtually any fight now, he's got the defense of a lamp post, just close your eyes and swing and you'll hit the target.
It's getting tiresome to see Whyte and Chisora drug out from the musty closet to fight anymore . Where are the other contenders?

 

I want Joyce to KO him, but he just lost to a shot to bits Chisora. Whyte can actually win this, Joyce has gotten even slower
