Joe Joyce

Weird fight that, Joyce was comfortably the better fighter and yet I had it level going into the 11th.

He's a bit like Wilder in that he's not great but he's a problem for anyone. Never looks hurt, never looks tired, very powerful and just keeps walking forward.

Level?? No way you could score that level going in to the 11th.

At best 7-3 to Joyce heading in to the 11th no more than that. Joyce was out working him, hurting him - pretty much dominating. Parkers work rate wasn’t there - clearly trying to nick the rounds with some “good work” in the last 30-45secs of each round but it wasn’t good enough as Joyce was throwing more back in return and more than taking Parkers power shots.
 
Not sure anyone will relish getting into the ring with him after watching that. Takes the punches and gives them back with plenty of power also a massive engine. Looking forward to him facing one of the back guns soon.

I have no problem with it being wide, there were a lot of close rounds which was strange for how one sided the optics were. Quite a few rounds where Joyce was walking forward the entire round but not really landing a whole lot and Parker would land some solid shots.

Every round was inching Joyce closer to victory even when I thought Parker won them just through his presence and making Parker work, constantly backing him up. I was surprised Parker lasted as long as he did.

IMO there were only 1 maybe 2 rounds that were close, I think Joyce had a lot of success and landed quite often and most shots were troubling parker you could tell by his body language Joyces shots were hurting where as the odd “solid” shot from Parker barely troubled Joyce. You could tell by looking at the physical condition of both fighters at the end, Parkers face looked a mess and Joyce hardly had a mark on him.

One thing we did know before the fight Parker was going to be a tough cookie and show plenty of heart which he did - never been stopped previously and he showed that warrior heart right until the end.
 
Can anyone knock Joyce out? Wilder?

I can see Fury and Usyk outpointing him but I can't see anyone else beating him.

I get scoring rounds based on how hurt a fighter was but you can't score a round based on how not hurt a fighter was. Carl Froch would never have lost a round. There were rounds where Joyce didn't land an awful lot and Parker landed some solid shots, doesn't matter if Joyce didn't flinch, they're scoring shots.

I've had a look on a boxing forum I go on occasionally and plenty of people were scoring the same rounds I was for Parker, needed to check for my sanity :ROFLMAO:

I'll double check tomorrow but I think I gave Parker 1, 4, 5, 9 and 10.

Only Wilder in my opinion and we have no idea what's left of him after the Fury trilogy, he could be absolutely cooked at this point.
 
Great fight.
Full value for money.
Joyce gets better and better - thought he was good against Dubois but was very clever tonight.

Felt a bit sorry for Parker who was in the shape of his life

Disagree on Parker, he came in far too heavy. He showed great heart but I'm not sure he was in the best shape of his life.

Round 1 and 4 I agree and 5 was close that could have gone either way

Round 9 and 10 were the rounds i was referring to with Parker trying to nick them with the odd “solid” shot and work in the last minute of each round which isnt good enough as Joyce put more than enough in the first two minutes of each round.

You can’t win a round trying to look good with the odd solid shot towards the back end of the round whilst running on fumes. the hurt was showing on Parkers face his phyiscal condition and damage caused by Joyces punches and Parkers body language running on fumes just didnt do it for me to win more than 3 rounds.
 
I was there and for me it was 6-4 Joyce going into the 11th though it could easily of been 7-3
 
Bloomin' love the boxing but never been to a live fight.
I'll have to get my finger out but it looks like it usually costs a good few hundred for a decent seat.
You saw a good one tonight though Priv.

I was lucky enough to have a free ticket with very good seats.
 
I gave Parker 4 rounds (one a possible draw) but Joyce is an absolute unit, with what seems an infinity engine that runs on pure belief and he never gives anyone room to breathe. He isn't the most gifted boxer by any means, but he does have spells of decent combinations and his workrate is astonishing for such a big guy, he definitely is a juggernaut in every sense. What I don't like is the number of shots he takes in fights and I hope it doesn't lead to long term damage as he seems such a nice guy. I will also say that Parker deserves respect for staying the course, he looked pretty beat up in the corner and still came out and did his best.

It was a good fight.
