JOSEPH PARKER vs JOE JOYCE 2 - Up Next??

Joyce salivating for this already... Easy way back up. Joyce by Absolute KO

 

Like both guys and I can't help but to cheer both on.

 

Don't like this fight for Parker as Joyce is a good pressure fighter with high output, but based on their last performances I'd slightly edge it to Parker. If Joyce comes in on form and Parker gets sloppy then Joyce breaks him down late.

 

Joyce seems all wrong for Parker, but I'd be wrong on Parker the last two times so hesitate to bet against him again. Also Joyce should have declined since last time while Parker is riding high in terms of confidence and motivation.

Joyce-Parker on the same card as Joshua-Hrgovic would be a very good one and set up the winners to face off.

 

Parker came in far too heavy for the Joyce fight then off the back of this issues such as impeded mobility,engine,stamina it simply was not Parker that night. There is also the fact that Parker can make a lot of changes and improvements compared to the first fight but Joyce on the other hand I don’t think can improve on his performance that night. Joyce may have won the fight that night but has lost the war as he simply has not looked anything like he did since the Parker win. Joyce’s habit of using his chin as his best asset looks to have caught up with him imo .

 

I think Parker returns the favor and stops Joyce. Parker 3.0 ( or whatever version we are on now) seems to have right gameplan and execute them well in his last few fights. I think he badly outboxes Joyce and stops him late with a monster overhand right.

 

In a perfect world Joshua vs Parker 2 and the winner gets a shot at Fury/Usyk winner but we all know that won't happen.

 

Why exactly would Parker take this fight? His trajectory is headed up , while after 2 straight ko losses and a horrific looking fight against Ali Joyce has flat lined.

 

At the rate Joyce is going, he's going to be salivating sooner than later... but for different reasons !

The winner of the 1st fight often wins the return, but far from certain. AJ reversed his loss to Ruiz. Long ago Patterson reversed his loss to Johansson, 2X. Parker & Joyce are going in different trajectories. Likely a competitive bout. I think Joe P has a good chance to reverse the 1st fights result.

 

Parker has earned a fight with a better opponent than Joyce. Parker is #4 in the world now, and Joyce isn’t ranked in the top 10 by most people.

 

Not interested in this at all. Not sure it does much for either man's career.

 

I see the same type of fight as the first. Parker will win the early rnds but if he can't hurt Joyce he is in for a long night. Unlike Zhang, Joyce will not take any rnds of and throw for 12 rnds.

As I right this I do want to add that Joyce looked like crap in his last fight against a journey man.

 

Yeah whatever. I picked Joyce to win the first fight and it was down to styles and attributes, not praying that Parker doesn't come in at peak condition. If they rematch though ironically Parker's only chance will be if Joyce is less than 100%, which looks likely after his last fight.
