Your thoughts now that this matchup is confirmed? https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/0...joyce-on-july-2nd-at-wembley-arena-in-london/
I suspect there will be controversy here. It will bring up those unanswerable questions like how to value a double jab vs a right hand or a lot of partially blocked punches vs fewer, cleaner blows. The kind of fight that leads to 0.25 speed breakdowns of critical rounds.
I don't think so. Joyce has been pretty solid so far. it should be a decent scrap though a good test for both.
Both face off, Joyce clearly bigger and has much longer arms. Parker's going to struggle with that jab and reach. Let's hope he's learned something new from the Joshua fight when he showed he had no real clue how to negate Joshua's size and reach. This content is protected
Parker by UD, though I also wouldn't be surprised at a very late TKO. Joyce is too slow to crack Parkers chin.
Rooting for Joyce. Solid matchup. Important to the division. Give a good undercard and I'll buy a PPV. However, if the undercard is short and shitty, I'll try to find alternative means to watch it or be content with highlights and seeing it 2 years from now on a video upload site. This last weekend was not worth the money.
Winner sits in a very high standing. The winner will be ranked clearly no lower than fifth in the division, no?
