He is not the fastest mover that for sure but he just sorts of rumbles forward with a lot of pressure (which I guess makes sense since his nickname is the Juggernaut) and a high work rate which makes him quite a handful. He got outboxed by Usyk in the World Series of Boxing but he was still managing to apply a fair amount of pressure to Usyk and Usyk really had to be on his bike to keep away from Joyce.
Maybe but I don't think Joyce will be drawn into exchanges and will try to keep it long and use his 2" reach and 3" height advantage. If he does get drawn into a firefight then as you allude to, he will get chin checked by Ortiz.
Joyce has a rudimentary jab and decent straight right behind it. I've seen him box long before so he can do it. It's not pretty to watch I'll grant you that but it is effective. And his jab seems to have quite a deterrent effect on his opponents i.e. it's pretty heavy. But you could be right in that Joyce will be looking to close him down and fight him more at a medium to close range. It really depends on the tactics they adopt to fight Ortiz.
I was going to be cheering for Ortiz but I might have to change that now lol.
Huh?
I think Joyce will win by KO he hits like a truck in the UK everyone says he is pretty much the biggest hitter out there......this will be a proper test for him and see if his boxing skill (or lack off) will be an issue as he steps up quality of opponent.
LOL Unfortunately GOATfucker doesn't seem to be willing to back up his words.
Yep. I’m just happy that we FINALLY have a few fighters in the HW division that actually are gunning for the best competition!
