Is this a triple threat match?
I picked Whyte

this is a much riskier fight for Joyce than Whyte.
Hrgovic is pretty powerful and Joyce's chin cant take as punishment as it used to. Hrgovic is kind of slow but he's younger and hasnt taken as much damage.
i think Joyce might get stopped late, past round 8 or so.

Good card, Rafferty on the bill, always good.

 

[Boxiana]

I think Hrgovic is very average, but Joyce looks shot so will struggle here.

Great card for Queensbury's debut on DAZN. I'll be watching.

Hrgovic via late stoppage.... I think Joyce is a shell of his top form.

OH, and if somebody could update the poll, that'd be great

 

[TinyTornado]

Going with Hrgovic, this fight won't be pretty, I agree Hrgovic is average and Joyce has certainly left his best years behind him. I'd go UD Hrgovic.

I can't see Joyce winning this, but who knows i guess. I see Hrgovic within the distance.

Maybe my man @Kowboy On Sherdog can do that?

Hrgovic titties for the win.
J/K. Hrgovic needs this win to have any consideration of seriousness going forwards.
Joyce needs this win to retain any relevance.
I suspect some of Joyce's loss were simply getting found out by Zhang style but maybe some athletic drop-off also.

Hrgovic on the other hand certainly had a fair bit of smoke up his arse. I remember these forums quite the while ago when some (maybe dormant) posters were adamant he was the second coming.

It would take a massive effort from Hargovic to fuck it up and lose to Joyce. He can fall asleep there though. But even sleepwalking he should be able to run through Joyce.

hrgovic looked pretty dope till the zhang fight, i get why people were hyped about him. but zhang is no joke, and neither is dubois. hrgovic may not be the second coming, but he can still turn out to be a top contender.

joyce has always looked stiff and robotic to me, but he was getting by on his ability to take far more punishment than his opponents, so they punched themselves out on his big head and then he beat them up. but that can only work for so long.

i'd pick hrgovic by KO in this one, but joyce could pull it off.
