Joe Joyce v Joseph Parker

[NoSavingByTheBell]

Man this Joyce is a scary dude.

Slow as molasses. He punches like he's underwater but he hits like a mule kick for 12rds. He’s like a HW Froch. Poor technique, makes various fundamental errors, easy to hit but he has a granite chin, incredible toughness, a great engine and carries his power late into a fight.

People who don't watch heavies must have an impossible time comprehending Joyce as a fighter.

Joyce might be the first fighter in history that has an opponent's corner throwing a towel in after their guy fkin nails him to the max and nothing happens.

He's just quite scary.

He's getting banjo'd with everything. Then you see the other fighters between rounds sucking up air, meanwhile Joyce isn't even breathing. It's nuts.

He’s a problem for anyone who relies on blocking shots instead of slipping them. His shots are just too heavy and he'll break ya down whether you parry them or not. His jab on TV looks like nothing because there is no real snap. In reality it's absolutely, utterly and completely f.ucking people up.

Future fights ?

He’s all wrong for Joshua. He’d test everything Joshua lacks. Stamina, durability, punch resistance etc. Very tough fight for AJ

Usyk and Sanchez and Fury have the style to handle him but none of them are Muhammad Ali. I think he'd give all three of them a hard fight (maybe even beat all three) because Joyce is a volume puncher. He'd be in their chest all night long throwing punches.

A fight between him and Wilder would have to come with a parental warning. Wilder either KO's him or gets beaten to within an inch of his life.

This is the fight I'd want to see. Yes Joyce has a great chin but for me to put him in the Oliver McCall category of great chins - then I need to see how he'd react to Wilder's home run punches because there may be a threshold to the power he's able to take because his chin at this point is almost looking invunerable, He takes every kill shot like it's nothing

Finally Parker is absolute nails for staying in there. Landed his best shot about 40 times (like most of JJ's opponents) and got beaten half to death (like most of JJ's opponents)

WTF is "banjo'd" is that Skouser

TYSON Fury joked the only way Joseph Parker could have beaten Joe Joyce was by kicking him in the nuts.

The former WBO heavyweight world champion lost for the first time since 2018 in Manchester on Saturday.

Parker was back in the ring for the first time since defeating Derek Chisora last December.

And the New Zealander made a strong start, claiming the opening round against his British opponent.

Joyce hit back in the second, though, and didn't look back.

But the 2016 Olympic silver medalist didn't get the job done until late on in the fight.

Less than one minute into the 11th round, Joyce caught Parker with a brutal left hook that sent him tumbling to the canvas.

Parker managed to beat the count, but referee Steve Gray ended the fight.

Following the brutal ending to the bout, Fury was asked whether the Kiwi could have done anything differently.

He bluntly said: "He could have kicked him in the nuts."

But the Gypsy King was full of praise for both fighters.

He added: "It was a great fight, very entertaining and good to watch. The better man won on the night, Joe Parker tried his heart out, it wasn't good enough, but that's boxing."

Some mugs will believe anything.

Joseph Parker has unfinished business with Dillian Whyte as he seeks a swift return to the ring following his defeat to Joe Joyce on Saturday night.

"He was the better man, I would love the opportunity to fight him again but I have to work my way back," Parker told iD Boxing. "I was happy to be involved in a great fight and congratulations to Joe Joyce.

"When you do watch Joe Joyce his jab, his punches don't seem the fastest, but they're very heavy and his jab was deceptive and quite quick, quicker than I thought. Maybe I should have had head movement and done other things better."

Joyce yet again proved a tough opponent to break down as his renowned chin stood firm in the face of some strong early rounds for Parker.

The Londoner rarely looked like slowing and took full control over the second half of the fight as he wore Parker down before landing the decisive blow to send the former world champion to the canvas and force the referee to bring things to a halt.

"I was boxing really the best I could off the pressure he put on, the early rounds were going okay," said Parker. "When it hit the sixth everything turned there, obviously I got caught by a good shot, it happens.

"I felt pretty good, the training camp was great, I felt good and there are no excuses really. It means I have to go back and keep learning and keep working.

"I landed a good shot and he kept coming forward like nothing happened, he can take a punch. He gave a lot of punches back and kept the pressure on."

Parker, who has previously been in the ring with the likes of Anthony Joshua, Andy Ruiz Jr and Whyte, noted that Joyce is up there with the best he has ever faced.

"Joe Joyce in terms of what he showed last night is right at the top, the pressure, the punches, the determination to keep pushing," he explained.

The 30-year-old suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Whyte back in 2018 having come close to forcing a stoppage when he dropped his opponent in the final round. Whoever the opponent, Parker is keen to stay active.

"I think as a fighter and I take myself as an example, the busier I am with fights the better I get and when you have a long time away from fighting you sort of lose touch," he said. "I'd like to fight a soon as I can.

"I'll go home, see my wife and kids, spend some quality time and then come back and see what's next.

"I'd love to fight Dillian Whyte. If he's free and available and there's nothing locked in for him I think it would be a great fight.

"He's coming off a loss, I'm coming off a loss, if we can make it happen it would be great because the first fight was a close fight."

Tony Bellew on Joe Joyce

The former Scouse champion was hugely impressed by Joyce, telling talkSPORT: “Joe Joyce’s best attribute is his durability and that came through once again.

“He outlasts his man and… his durability is on another level, I’ve never seen anything like it… but he also has the fitness, dexterity and calmness to see through storms and that’s what he’s done.

“He did it against Daniel Dubois, now he’s done it against Joseph Parker and he’s a problem for any heavyweight in the world.”

Bellew stated: “Joyce is purely a problem because he’s going to be there, You won’t get rid of him, until the bubble bursts and someone does finally knock him out.

“I think the only guys who could knock him out potentially are Deontay Wilder or maybe AJ, I’m not even sure Fury could do it.

“He threw 800 punches on Saturday night and 600 of those 800 are not very damaging, they’re just taps, but if you keep knocking on a wall in the end it’s going to fall down.

“That’s what Joe Joyce does, he just keeps coming and he keeps that work rate going. He fights at a pace that most heavyweights just don’t do and they can’t keep with him and then after you hit him with absolutely everything and this pace is just continuing, it’s a problem.”

Bellew is a prick but he usually talks a lot of sense and here he’s done exactly that.
I’m gonna give Joyce a lot of credit here, considering I’ve never been over keen on him. He’s painful on the eyes, but he gets the job done. And like Bellew said, he’s a problem for any HW out there. And for most, he’s almost impossible to beat.
You can hit 7 bells out of him, but he just keeps coming forward and he’s got freakish stamina for his size.
I watched an interview the other day where he said he underwent some tests with Saracens Rugby club that showed that his bone density is 5 times more than normal.
The cunt is basically made of iron. Add to that , he can bang, very heavy handed, remember when he appeared to be pawing away at Dubois and he broke his orbital bone. And he just keeps coming!
I still think Usyk could win a landslide points victory against him, but I’m not sure Fury and AJ do the same.
He would smash Wilder to pieces, and I can’t see anybody else beating him outside these.
But is this what we’ve come to ? Boxing is a sport and yet this monster can just stand there and take punches all night and then maul someone to death.
And although his bones are so dense, should we be worried about the punches he absorbs. It can’t be good for you.
So mixed feelings really, because there has to be an element of the sweet science there surely?

Ps @Master, this is my way of giving you some kudos as well after what I said Pre-fight , and eating a bit of humble pie.
