[brilo33]

talking about Commenators i still think paulie magic man is a miss

[emallini]

Boxing fans are weird. Especially the keyboard never boxed type.

[margaret thatcher]

and word has just come in that joe joyce has finally completed the walk back to his dressing room. he's expected to make it to the after party by next week

[Grilling Machine]

I'd like Joyce-Fury next, leaving Wilder for Whyte, with two of the three winners fighting at the end of the year.

joe with 2 straight come from behind kos

im growing on his nickname becoming 'the inevitability'

[Grilling Machine]

It's not hard to imagine AJ and Wilder stunning Joyce and then smashing away until he takes a count or the ref steps in, but Fury doesn't have that one-shot power, so it's maybe the heavyweight fight I'd be most interested in at the minute.

Because although Fury beats AJ and Wilder if he's able to negate their powershots for 12, which Joyce probably couldn't, I've a feeling Joyce might be his hardest test.

[THEBUTCH]

Sugar Ray Leonard he ain't, but Joyce keeps overwhelming his opponents.

Takam has got F-all to complain about ! Joyce rocked him and then seriously unloaded, leaving the referee with no choice.

Big Joe's style might look like he's counting by numbers, but the job gets done. He's a bona fida contender and I hope he gets his shot within a fight or two.

I like it. It is what he is, slow and thudding early. i could get out there and win the first round vs joyce he is that slow... but id have to use way too much energry as the big dawg just plods at me...

(I am aware that in reality i wouldent last 10 seconds with joyce, even if i just tried to run... didnt he use to run 11 second hunddreds.)

P.s look out for Joseph Fahnbulleh in the olympics 200m sprint. Big dopey looking unit, Runs how i imagine big joe would, looks trash, starts slow, but is fornicating to hold coming down the final third.....

jj v hughie fury i think hughie would beat him

Urgh!
Your may be right, but to do it Hughie would have to stink the joint out, and have the fight of his career.
I like watching Joe Joyce, and not so much Hughie

Think hughie would win comfortably unless Joyce made it super ugly. Terrible style match up for Joyce. Fury fury and usyk are Joyce’s streets fights I think. I’d give Joyce more chance vs aj that hughie.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

I don't think I could deal with him on every show but I thought Davidson was ok. A different type of analysis. I think he made some very decent points, maybe just overdid it at times. 100 times better than the likes of Macklin.

I think Fury’s got the foot speed and stamina to avoid the bulk of Joyce’s shots and land his own.

Would be an interesting fight though.

[DrDuke]

A fun fight. Actually, Takam could be given every round, Joyce simply was taking unnecessary shots all night long. However, Joyce was just planning to take 10 shots in order to get to an opponent and overwhelm him, what eventually happened.

The stoppage was premature, although it was just a matter of time, Takam wouldn't be back.

Joyce is a durable juggernaut with a freakish chin and he prefers to rely on it.

[Dioufy]

I wanna see Joyce vs Whyte for a cast iron shot at the WBO belt. I can see Hearn letting him fight on BT with the Joshua/WBO mando being on Sky/DAZN.
50/50 fight.

Joyce will brutilize Whyte. Joyce can take everything, Whyte is very vulnerable. Joyce always keeps coming and working, Whyte has many holes in defence.

And Joyce is a Mayweather type fighter defensively?
Don’t know how you can be so confident of Joyce smashing Whyte; he may well do but Whyte is certainly more aggressive than Takam and look how easy he got clipped.
He’s got a good chin, sure, but it’ll let him down if he keeps taking right hands thrown from a different postcode.
It’s a 50/50 fight.

Joyce defence is non-existent, but he is a freak of nature with a granite chin. Whyte gets hurt almost every fight. It's easy to hit both of them, but it's impossible to hurt Joyce, who took even Dub's clean shots without any troubles. Whyte got hurt by Joshua, Chisora, Helenius, Rivas, Povetkin, he was out cold. Maybe Whyte will be up on points, when he gets brutilized, but I'm sure he'll be crushed.

[Dioufy]

Didn’t realise that Joyce has had his chin tested by anywhere near world level.
It’s good against the level of opposition he’s been against but a win vs Whyte would be Joe’s best win as he’s the best fighter he would’ve fought.
Whyte could definitely stop Joyce and he could stop him early.

[Heretic]

Joyce is a fricking unit. I don't know what hes chin is made of but it sure is tough stuff. Didin't even blink when Takam was nailing him straight on.

The stoppage was maybe bit early but I think Takam was done anyways. Got clearly hurt in the end.

How long do we need to go back to find better win from HW than Takam? Did we even have anything of the calibre this year?

Good that Joyce is stepping it up now

He took best shots of the World level puncher, if not World level boxer, Dubois. He has just been eating shots from Takam all night long without any signs of trouble.

[Manchester Hitman]

It feels good to say that I really enjoyed a BT/Warren show. I’ve seen glimpses over the last year or so, but I thought last night was excellent entertainment. I hope they’ve fully turned the corner now.

Go on Big Frank

Are you Sam Jones?
Dubois is a hard puncher at the level he’s fought at… which is fringe Euro level at the moment.
Whyte has been in with world champions.
I’m not saying Joyce won’t win… he probably will but let’s rate him more effectively when he’s been in with current world class heavies. Fact is… he’s been no where near them yet.

[margaret thatcher]

the one time joe's been hurt as a pro was to the body

i noticed takam came out throwing a lot to the body, but maybe he found it so easy to land to head that he abandoned that!

Are you Eddie Hearn? Joyce was against the World level fighters. Stiverne could be shot, but Jennings was more or less credible. Whyte could be against more World level fighters, but he was hurt more through his last 10 fights than not. He's far from being a defensive wizard and a well-chinned one. Joyce will get to him.

[MasterG]

Talking about a WBO mando that realistically wont happen until 2023 at the earliest, are they really going to sit and wait for that without better tests? And surely Whyte is first in line.

Joyce wont trouble the big guys.

Joyce won't get a title shot. No way he can sit and wait until 2023. Will the WBO let their champ not defend against their mandatory until that time? I don't think so so my guess is that they create another trinket WBO Champion in Waiting
