Boxing-Joyce v Parker

[Tuerto]

Re: Boxing-Joyce v Parker

He's looked really good tonight. Very durable and boxing far better behind that left hand. At 37 he's probably not got too long, but he's looking a problem for most heavyweights.
Fury probably runs rings round him but interesting to see who he fights next. A Dillian Whyte maybe?
Thought that 10 count was way too quick mind, although Parker probably was losing on points anyway.

The ref made the right decision. The next punch by joyce could have seriously damaged Parker. Joyce beat him up for the last three rounds, Agree, joyce looked good, can't see anyone putting him down, He's relentless.

Head like a block of iron to be fair.
He took some decent shots and barely flinched.
I'd love to see him fight AJ, that would be a hell of a fight.

:thumbup: He's beat AJ up in my opinion.

Apparently, Joe Joyce has his bone density measured, and it's 6 times a normal human being, whatever that means.

He'd be a very tough fight for AJ for sure, he probably would eventually grind AJ down. I'd love to see that one now, it would be a great match-up.

Yup, grind him down is exactly what i was thinking.

I'd like to see Wilder vs Joyce, dynamite fists vs granite chin

Don’t know why AJ keeps getting quoted. He’s a spent force. I wouldn’t put your money on him.

I agree that would be the fight I would like to see.

No it wasn't too quick, Parker was out of it. If it had gone on longer he could have been seriously hurt.

The ref appeared to have made his decision to stop it as soon as he'd started his count. He pretty much rushed that count already knowing he was going to wave it off.

Don't get me wrong, Parker was in trouble and it was the right decision given the shot he took and the fall. I just found that slightly weird.

Another ref might have given him a proper 10 count, given him a moment to check if he was ok to continue, and then made the call.

I'm not disputing the decision though as I say, I just think it was a bit of a rushed decision. Safety does have to come first though and that left hook had clearly done some damage.

Parker has never quite been good enough for the highest levels unfortunately. It's a shame as he can be entertaining to watch at his best and has plenty of heart. I think it's safe to say that he's found his level now though, he's in that group with the likes of Whyte, Chisora, Ruiz Jr etc.

Top 5 at the minute for me is:

Fury
Usyk
Wilder
AJ
Joyce

I still consider AJ above Joyce at this point. He's a better boxer than Parker and was improved in his rematch with Usyk.

I don't see either AJ or Joyce really troubling that top 3 too much though. AJ clearly can't, and they'll all be too good for Joyce also I reckon, which is why I would like to see Joyce v AJ next.
If he gets past AJ, he deserves a crack at the belts. I think he beats the likes of Whyte and Ruiz Jr comfortably.

Re: Boxing-Joyce v Parker

I quite like watching Joyce, he has one plan and goes for it.

Defends with his face but that doesn't matter as it's just durable, enhanced living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.

He's a problem for most. The best may outmanoeuvre him but he can fight 12 rounds and each minute at a tempo. Be interesting to see what he gets next.

His footwork is underrated too.

After last nights performance, i can only see Fury troubling Joyce. Joshua’s done, and Usyk wouldn’t have the strength to keep Joyce away. He doesn’t have the power to KO Joyce either.
It’s all about opinions though. 👍
