Joe Joyce vs. Bermane Stiverne - 23 February 2019

Yeah, soon as joyce turns up the heat stiverne will be out of there like a shot

This bout doesn't leave much to the imagination

He'll start to feel the heat when he's nose to nose in the pre-fight instructions. I wonder what the over/under for Stiverne to bail out is. one or two minutes, I suspect.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on the weigh-in for this one. If Stiverne turns up in the same shape as he did for Wilder 2, I’m putting my house on a Joyce early ko.

Good bet

Awful fight. Stiverne has not won a fight in over 2 years. He's completely shot. Big fan of Joyce but he needs shot of that arsehole manger to pipes in and interrupts Joyce in every interview. His opponents since Lewinson havent been great and this is down to his manager

He really doesn't have the time to fiddle around with poor management. This fight leaves much to be desired.

It's a Former Champion, and an easy mark. It's the perfect move for Joyce IMO. He should win inside 4 rounds so I see no reason why he couldn't pursue a bigger step up by May or June.

Stiverne is a much smarter move by his management than the rumored Luis Ortiz fight. The Ortiz fight was more interesting obviously, but WAY more dangerous for Joyce. Smart to get him at least 1 or 2 guys on this level before diving into the deep end of the pool.

Given Ortiz or Stiverne, I agree. But there are several better matchups for Joyce to develop and grow. Michael Hunter; Charles Martin; Robert Helenius; David Allen to name a few. This matchup vs Stiverne is just 'busy work.' If he is so ready, let him fight at least a top 50 guy.

Good scalp for Joe .... i like this matchup

Really? Stiverne will come in at 270, take his beating and cash his check. Maybe good for Joe, but not for fans of boxing.

It's fine as long as Joe stays active. Joyce fought 6 times in 2018. It's only his first fight this year. If he makes short work of Stiverne then it's onto the next one.

Hopefully soon after. He'll only get one or two rounds out of Stiverne.

Good for Joe agree, Stiverne has a name into boxing
Better that as a noname
And Joe make its easy .... first round
one step closer to AJ

Stiverne "apologizes" for his lack of dedication in his last fight and "promises" he'll be the Stiverne of old and KTFO Joyce. How dumb does he think we are?

Did he also say this is the best camp he’s ever had, and there will be no excuses on the night?

LMAO! No better. thousands of situps; weight lifts; miles ran...etc. No one wanted to fight him for that last 14 months. Oh, and thousands of buffets as well I'm sure.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I reckon Joyce should challenge Trevor Bryan after this

Why not replace Miller in the 4 man 'tourney.' Would give Joyce needed rounds against better comp and give him a belt. yup!

Good to see they published the promo shot showing Stirvene as he is likely to turn up!

I’d like to see him beat up his arch nemesis, that arrogant cheating frog Yoka. I saw a Yoka interview (that had about 200 views and 8 likes) where he said that Joyce was too old and he wasn’t interested in him, so obviously he doesn’t fancy it.

lol and just 2 fights ago he fought a guy a couple years older then joyce

[handsofstone]

On paper this is a decent test for Joyce, a former world Heavyweight champ in his 8th fight is solid, the reality is though more than likely Stiverne will come out of shape with zero ambition, I just hope Joyce can take care of him in good fashion, you know Joyce will just keep plodding away and letting his hands go, its the only way he knows how, he wont want to go the distance, hopefully Stiverne will come in shape and with intentions to win but either way Joyce should still club him to defeat, probably early rather than late

Joyce isn't the most charismatic boxer we've seen but I like his style

[jameswilson]

Do we reckon Joyce bombs him out inside 2 or carries him to round 5 or so before getting him out of there?

theres something 'white ron m' about poxon to me

There’s tons of comments on YouTube.

About his boney cheeks. He looks like he should be on corination street etc.

Looks like he’s been dead for 6 months ha

[jamamb]

lol glad i wasnt the only one thinking it

would be perfect for some classic vampire flick or something

imagine him and long tall ron coming to suck your blood
