As slow as Joyce can be in there, I think he comes in with the momentum here and can win this behind that hellacious jab.
I like this fight. Neither man is superstar status but both are good, tough as old boots, honest fighters. Neither will give an inch but perhaps Joe's size will give him the edge. I have enjoyed them both trying to follow rule laid down by promoters and media to be nasty, hateful fighters. It doesn't work. Both are just honest fighters. Can you imagine Henry Cooper being in this media, face of and slanging match era? Never.
