Timing is looking good.

What the fvck was that entrance

Did Bellew just walk Joyce in?

(The fat bellew lookalike)

Oh no its Big Tel

Joyce batters Thomas and drops him again in the 2nd round. It's OVER! Joe Joyce in only his 4th Pro Contest is the Commonwealth Champion!

KO 2 Joe Joyce

Bloody hell I expected more from Thomas than that.

as a boxer he is awful but he obviously hits really hard and has a great engine and by all accounts a good chin. I watch him and find his style laughable but he gets them out of there so you can't knock him

When Thomas caught him with a straight in the first a thought we’d have a decent fight here! Obviously not

I thought Joyce might learn something but he didn't.

Think Joyce went into this one similar how to Joshua went in with Whyte

thats how a legit prospect deals with thompson.....none of this dave allen stuff

Reminds me of a 70s Foreman, albeit a watered down version

lmao at paulie next to pricey

Dunno what it is and it is obviously some kind of optical illusion but JJ always looks like he is moving in slow motion to me. He lands plenty so obviously moves plenty fast enough though.

Yeah - seems to be a 'better than he looks' type. He isslow and plodding, but I guess he's just so strong and insistent it doesn't really matter - @ this level anyway.

Supporting Rodriguez for this one

Butler has four defeats? Oops MC cock up

Did they just announce Butler as having 4 defeats? It never fails to amaze me how many cock-ups get made in boxer intros.

Agree with that. I've always wondered how on Earth he lands so much (even at the top level as an amateur) with that slow, awkward style. I think he simply doesn't telegraph very much and always puts himself in a good position to throw such that opponents never have time to get cosy and think about how to counter him - that makes up for the lack of speed.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to hear him say 4 defeats thought I was going crazy

Thoroughly unprofessional on someones part.

butler down twice in the first, a big left hook for the first and then just sort of crumpled down under a combo for the second

... The end of this belief that Butler is some world class fighter?
