Joe Joyce v Filip Hrgovic

[Primo Carnera]

The last judge got it right 98-92. 150 power punches landed to the head versus about 30.
Just because Joyce’s head is made of iron doesn’t mean he wins the round.
I would hate to see a brain scan of Joyce and I worry about where he’ll be in 10 years time.

i could maybe see seven to three at most. joe was more active at times & filip kept going to the ropes. yeah joe might be a mess in a few years but a man has the right to earn his money the way he wants. people put their health at risk everyday in all sorts of ways

See in my my opinion “more active” s meaningless if your opponent is landing 5 times more power punches to the head.
Furthermore a man only has the right to earn money how he wants If he is physically fit to do so.
For Joyce’s own well-being he should have his licence taken away .

Well in that case the stats will show that Joyce wasn’t more active.

punch stats are rubbish. i trust what i'm seeing. joe was out landing filip in certain rounds

[Spicoli]

That was fugly and not lying a little bit hard to watch. We're getting to a point with some guys where maybe mandatory retirement may be a consideration. Eating punches like that at 40 years old will stay on a man, in every way.

Nah he wasn’t . if you count “tippy tappies” versus full on shots on the head, maybe.
Punch stats can be bullshit, for example shots that just touch the target or go past.
But common sense will tell you that the less margin for error is with power shots landed, because they are clean.
Midway through round 6 (roughly halfway through the fight) Hrgovic had landed with 85 power shots JUST TO THE HEAD as opposed to 12 from Joyce.
That is a fucking ridiculous stat.
Let’s not forget that this is a sport and there have to be some acknowledgment to safety and wellbeing.
Joyce wins fights with a freakishly durable chin absorbing a crazy volume of shots, which tires the other fighter and he then bowls them over.
While you can applaud that if you like, for his own safety it shouldn’t be allowed.
Just because those shots aren’t concussing him like they would normal people, it doesn’t mean they are not damaging his head long term.

yeah he was. filip is very lazy & spent parts of rounds doing nothing. filip did land numerous head shots but fights are scored by rounds & joe was out landing filip in several rounds. it is a sport & if joe is passing the medicals then i have no issue. i'm not in the business of telling another man what he is allowed to do with his body

Exactly that! When do you think he had his last medical? Or any Boxers for that matter? They have to jump through hoops to get their licence, after that nobody gives a flying fuck.
As for “I’m not in the business of telling another man what to do with his body” , yep, the sort of people that say that are the sort of people who say “oh yeah that’s really sad , what a warrior!” When a fighter gets dementia and can’t remember his own name.
