Re: Joe Joyce vs. Carlos Takam - 24 July 2021

Joyce needed to be moved quickly, hes now being moved slowly compared to most Olympic silver medalists
He’s got his number 1 ranking. I can potentially see another Dillian Whyte or Howard Eastman situation where he’s gonna have to wait years for his shot. The Usyk v a AJ winner won’t have a WBO mando for a long time.
Journeymen and gatekeeper types.
I hope it's on regular BT, would be a nice lead in to the PPV..
Cheers, I'll have to figure out how to watch them bothRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑17 Jun 2021, 06:15I hope it's on regular BT, would be a nice lead in to the PPV..
No way they'd charge £19.95 for both cards together.
Frank will likely be in the States too.. Who the fvcks Joyce.

even at his age he's a respectable opponent for sure, extremely experienced and pretty much always a hard work outing even for the guys who beat him
Hang on a week and get Conor Benn, a sausage roll and a glass of prosecco for £750.Cyclops wrote: ↑17 Jun 2021, 11:16 Flipping hell it's been so long since I've been to a live boxing event that I didn't even notice that there are tickets available for this.

There's also Ajagba Sanchez and Kownacki Helenius on the US card, so it would be a corking night of heavyweight action to enjoy, especially if you chuck in the possibility of being there for one of them.
I've never had trouble getting tickets for any Warren promoted show: it's always Matchroom stuff that's a nightmare to get tickets for. It's also a tick-over fight for Joyce, so you would hope even if we're all socially distanced Fwank wouldn't charge mental money for this. Like someone else said, he's not exactly going to be there is he? A sold out show is better for his pathetic rivalry with Hearn than pricing anybody who'd consider attending out so that you end up with an empty hall.
Well... I guess it's "take my money, Mr. Warren" night for me.
F*cking casual.
Be nice if you got both cards for the PPV like the good old days in the 1990'sRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑17 Jun 2021, 06:15I hope it's on regular BT, would be a nice lead in to the PPV..

He reminds me a little bit of that weasel faced bloke that used to promote Joseph Parker, another gentle giant who wasn't really all that good in front of the camera. I forget his name: he didn't make an appearance for Chisora. But you started off thinking "is this the best bloke he could get for the job?" and then came to realise he was there to be the "knobhead" that got his fighter noticed, but also was thick skinned enough to take the flak, and ultimately fans warmed to him. And in that documentary they showed after the Dubois-Joyce fight you could see Jones did actually care about his fighter, and was with the Joyce family during and after the fight.jameswilson wrote: ↑17 Jun 2021, 11:18margaret thatcher wrote: ↑17 Jun 2021, 02:02 he deserved 8 or 9 rounds vs forrest, only round he lost for me was late on when he was way ahead and coasting a bit. 96-94 was a poor score

Fair enough. There’s still that lingering doubt with him having been a year out that if Joyce wins by KO he won’t get the credit he deserves.
I have to give him credit I think Sam Jones is managing Joyce’s career bloody well. Does a lot of his talking for him which increases his value. You could argue he manages him but also does more promotion for him than all of his previous promoters.
‘Oh come on Frank!……..Kevin Johnson?!’
David Higgins. Great laugh when he gets pissed (drunk) at a press conference. “Never dropped never stopped” on repeat.Cyclops wrote: ↑17 Jun 2021, 17:07He reminds me a little bit of that weasel faced bloke that used to promote Joseph Parker, another gentle giant who wasn't really all that good in front of the camera.

Better than Fish Eyes, who wasn't even sitting next to him at the press conference. I like Takam as a fight. He presents issues, and Joyce had a hard night with Jennings, another smaller but capable fighter. I think it's a decent match up. It's last chance saloon for Takam, so he should come with ambition. It doesn't matter if it's another hard fight. Good. It should be. He needs hard fights to keep learning. I hope Takam gives him some rounds and some different puzzles to solve.
