Joe Joyce

[KickMuck]

He is mandatory no?

Is this after a rematch or before?

Anyhow. I like the Juggernaut but I don't see how he wins against Usyk.

Speed being the main factor.

[Master]

Oddly enough Joyce is mandatory for WBO and Dubois is for WBA. So both could demand their match but could accept step aside money if the offer is good.

There was a part of me that quietly gave Joyce a shot against Usyk. I don't think the WBSS fight was quite the blowout people call it. Joyce won some rounds for me. Based on what we saw Saturday though Usysk would do as he pleases. That said. Joyce will give it everything. There won't be any question marks over his tactics or appetite.

[KickMuck]

Having thought about it a little. I actually can see a way for big Joe to win.

A test of chin. If he can be brute enough to take punches to land punches with the constant pressure and stomping forward that we have seen. It may be possible to break Usyk down.

I imagine a lot of chasing him round the ring loosing rounds, but if the Juggernaut can weather him down with that crunching jab constantly making Usyk move, one or two might clip him and force him in to a corner for some George Forman style hooks to the head and body with power to break defence.

Ey there's a chance!

Beeep Bleep Bleep Bleep

Fuck is that my alarm!

Joyce to get Olympic gold after fix probe into his loss to at Rio 2016

One of the most scandalous results in Olympic boxing history, which saw British fighter Joe Joyce denied gold at Rio 2016, is likely to be overturned after sport's top criminal investigator delivers a report into whether the competition was rigged on Thursday.

Joyce seemed to have outboxed Frenchman Tony Yoka in the super-heavyweight final and be heading for the same professional career that Anthony Joshua started four years earlier.

Yoka's arm was raised instead, to widespread astonishment in the world of boxing. But Sportsmail understands that the Joyce result will feature in Thursday's report published by Richard McLaren — whose revelations about Russia's state-sponsored doping programme saw that country barred from competition.

The investigation by McLaren and his team centres on whether boxers of certain nationalities were favoured by referees and judges in Rio.

Among those investigated are France and Uzbekistan, which won more bouts than the best boxing nations.

It's not yet clear whether Joyce's silver medal will be upgraded to gold if the result is overturned as expected.

McLaren's team were called in when an internal probe by the International Boxing Association (AIBA) found 'strong suspicion' surrounding AIBA's French former executive director Karim Bouzidi and a number of referees and judges.

McLaren's report is also expected to question the decision which saw Russian fighter Vladimir Nikitin handed a farcical victory over Ireland's Michael Conlan to win bronze in Rio.

There were British jeers among the cheers but Joe Joyce was not so much robbed in Rio as having his pocket picked by a tricky Frenchman.

The giant hope for a super-heavyweight gold medal to put the finishing touch to Team GB's record breaking Games was teased out of the final decision of these Games.

Sadly, there was no call for another of the gymnastic somersaults in the ring with which Joyce had entertained the audiences in Pavilion 6 at Riocentro after his preceding victories.

It was to be Tony Yoka who made his own piece of history by adding an Olympic title to the gold won by his partner Estelle Mossely the night before.

The family that prays together, slays together.

This fight was close enough to be a split decision but in reality it was as good as over by the end of the second round.

Yoka was ahead by then on two of the cards, leaving Joyce already in need of the knock-out which is his trademark but never looked like coming.

Yoka had called Joyce a robot, among sundry slights about his intelligence, and expressed confidence that he would win.

No doubt he feels he proved himself right, although Joyce said: 'I can't believe he celebrated so wild after I feel I battered him.'

Joyce did throw more of the punches but Yoka's accuracy largely deleted this one from the realm of controversy which has plagued some of the judging earlier in this tournament.

When asked if this verdict came into that category, Joyce mused: 'Possibly. You can be the judges of that. I felt I dominated enough, got through his guard and worked him to the head and body enough to win the gold medal.'

Anthony Joshua, who he will follow into the professional ranks at the age of 30, was convinced he had won and Joyce said: 'That's a consolation but it's not the same as being Olympic champion. Although I am proud to be the last British medalist, the one who took us to this fantastic medal total.'

For the British team this was a bitter-sweet moment.

Their cake was mountainously iced already. The cherry was hauled to the summit by Steam Train Joe and planted there with an iron fist.

The Olympic fruit turned out to be silver-plated, not dusted in gold, but in the grander scheme of things it was welcome nonetheless.

The 67th and final gong of Britain's phenomenal Games was delivered with a thunder-clap on a rainy day in Rio by the big men of the Olympic ring.

Unfortunately Joyce could not generate quite enough of the lightning he needed to shock the rival who had beaten him on the way to winning last year's world amateur championship.

How close did he come? If this had been a pro fight I would probably have scored it a draw.

Joyce has been nicknamed Steam Train by Joshua, his London comrade in gloves.

It is the perfect prefix for his uncompromising, uncomplicated approach to boxing. He keeps pounding along the tracks until he mows his opponents down, or crashes into the buffers.

Not for the first time, in the eyes of the officials, Yoka shunted him into the sidings.

When Joyce joins IBF world heavyweight champion Joshua in the professional ranks, the twain shall surely meet in due course. Not that they will do so as strangers. AJ and JJ have sparred thousands of rounds, helping each other towards their literally lofty ambitions.

Joyce, now that he has been nudge off the peak of Olympia, has further to travel.

There was to be no back-flip along the way. Just a crashing let down.

So at the same time are they going to give AJ’s gold to Cammarelle, who he clearly lost to in the final? Or are they gonna give it to the Cuban who completely destroyed AJ in the quarters.
