This content is protected WBO Interim title will be on the line and frankly speaking the winner of this will go on to become the WBO world champion. Very interesting fight. This content is protected Despite getting schooled a few years back, Joyce has a decent chance to beat Usyk. It's a 65/35 fight for Usyk IMO.
Usyk vs JoJo... didn't think that fight would be happening. And you're right, JoJo has a chance here.
It'd almost certainly go the distance and its hard to imagine Joyce winning on points. Keep in mind he was (albeit wrongly) behind on the cards against Dubois. Could imagine Usyk winning 8 rounds maybe. Cant see either guy scoring a knock down.
Usyk had problems with grandpa Chisora and couldn’t even knock out witherspoon in less than six rounds, he has no chance against joyce. When they fought against each other Joe Joyce was hardly five years into boxing, it’s the same with Wilder where people think that he would lose to romanov. I was one of the few people to say that Loma will loose to Lopez and I am sure I will be right on this one too.
Usyk outboxes him tentatively. I'll be happy for this fight because of what it means for Fury/Joshua, not as much for the fight itself. But the more top 10 guys face each other (or at least top 15), the better.
Mate.... come on. Witherspoon landed less than 10 punches in the whole fight, we know Usyk is not a big puncher so you shouldn't expect him to get KOs, ffs. Chisora is an extremely aggressive fighter who went absolutely berserk in the first 4 rounds vs Uysk, putting everything on a KO. Usyk was not hurt for even 0.5 sec during the Chisora fight and he dominated after the early flurry from Chisora. Joyce is not that kind of fighter, he is slower than he was in Amaterus and he doesn't have the movement to chase Usyk around. Any fighter in the world would have problems with the Chisora of the first 4 rds in that fight.
Usyk outclasses Joyce. Only way I see Joyce winning is if Warren pays the judges and he gets lucky with the scorecards.
Joyce could win it but Chisora was HEAVILY on the front foot trying to go for the kill against Usyk. Will joyce do the same ? Definitely but he isnt faster than chisora. He has fast feet but Usyk is far more skilled than Dubois. Could end up being a Foreman vs Young but somethibg tells my Joyce will suprise me, one way or another.
I like Usyk to win this by UD. I picked Joyce to beat Dubois but that's bc I didnt think either were that great and likes the odds on Joe. If Joyce kos Usyk I'll eat my words and start taking the foreman comparisons seriously.
Joyce also struggled with Bryan Jennings. This is stylistically a tougher fight for JJ than Dubois was, I'd bet on Usyk outboxing him to a UD, I don't think JJ has one shot power to stop Usyk.
