    The problem is that putting a dent in Joyce now doesn't look so difficult. Chisora had him down and buzzed a couple of times. We all know what Zhang did. Hrgovic can look disinterested at times, but he got by Zhang by hook or by crook, and he has a solid jab and power. That might be all that's needed.
    Joyce seems to be packing on weight, but he's now slower than ever with limited defence. Unless he comes in great shape, having worked on some fundamentals,s he doesn't have much of a chance.(And lets be honest, he's not a young lad.) The drop-off in punch absorption is unreal.
    Whyte was a risk, but he's also slow on his feet and susceptible to gassins as well so there was a bit more of an even match up. If Hgrovic finds the bit between his teeth, i don't see Joyce winning. He's looked awful since Zhang 2.11 rounds with Kash Ali?.

    Might have something to do with the fact that out of 24 contests 19 of them are 6 rounds or under, most being 4 rounders. He's only fought two people with a pulse and he was stopped by Joyce and would've been stopped by Price but looked for a way out. He's shite.

    Nobody actually said he was good

    But stopping him isn't as easy as people think

    And Price wasn't actually doing as well in that fight as people remember

    My point was he'd likely have had more stoppages if 80 plus per cent of his matches weren't 4 or 6 rounders against plumbers, scaffolders, brick layers

    He was blowing out his arse and was on his way to being stopped and that's why he did what he did. He's absolutely shite.

    Yeah probably right

    I'm not gonna call him shite though, he is a spoiler but can box

    Obviously going nowhere though
