Round-by-Round: Joe Joyce vs. Christian Hammer - 2 July 2022

[Dioufy]

Same old Joyce eating everything

[NoScoutingReports]

Joyce eating booming right hands for fun

[edb1000]

It looks as if Joyce's punches are arriving by second class post. He doesn't look at his sharpest.

"Gotta clean up on the defence there, Joe."

[gregregegg]

Hammer takes thaat for me, joyce with zerrrro respect for hammers power took about 4 absolute bombs clean, he takes em well but shouldent take em.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Joe said he would like to block, Bob and weave and not block shots with his face..

So far so good.

Bit tubby.

Joe Joyce really is a juggernaut.

I don’t like the fact he’s defensively irresponsible.

But he’s got a granite jaw, he’s heavy-handed, possesses an enormous gas tank, and relentlessly throws a high volume of blows.

Joyce just needs to tighten up his defence slightly and I think he may already be too much for the excessively muscular and easily-fatigued Anthony Joshua.

Talksport commentators are not good. They are like television commentators. Ron McKintosh is the man for radio, more descriptive (of course, he talks too much on the television).

Aye and around the face as well, and that was before the fight started. Something looks a bit off with him.

[Dioufy]

Is Joyce the slowest fighter of all time?

[TempleSlave]

1st one for Hammer. JJ=human punch bag.

[Fightnight Scores]

Doesn't look very good Joyce here....maybe overlooked Hammer somewhat, he's always been slow I suppose...
Just looks awkward though.

[TempleSlave]

I think he’s close to Valuev slow.

[golden_labrador]

Frampton not bad so far on my stream

[jimmystone]

Joyce is hard as nails but he needs to protect himself more than he does. He's so easy to hit he'll get damaged long term.

[Fightnight Scores]

Hammer is a bit gassed now in round 3. Joyce should be able to take over from here.

[Enlightened-One]

Hammer looks exhausted by the frenetic pace being set by Joyce.

The fight won’t go past the fifth round.

[Dioufy]

Is Joyce the slowest fighter of all time?

I think he’s close to Valuev slow.

He’s making Hammer look like Khan v Michael Gomez.


Hammer looking for a way out now. Shock.

[gregregegg]

joyce can grind someone to dust in 3 rounds, its pretty impressive. but geezes christ he needs to work on his defence just a little bit. makes hammer look excelent at times...

[jimmystone]

Music taking me back to the 90s/

[jimmystone]

All she wrote.....

[Dioufy]

Embarrassing. I hate boxing at times.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Not a bad nights boxing, some decent matchups. Joyce is very watchable despite the obvious flaws. Thought Frampton really enhanced the night with non-biased co-comms. It can be done.

[Enlightened-One]

Joyce won that fight exclusively using his athleticism, but he needs to show more skills, focussing on being defensively responsible, in order to defeat top-ten world-rated heavyweight opposition.
