Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Comes In Heavier For Carlos Takam Fight Than He Was For Daniel Dubois Bout

Joyce possibly has the second best resume amongst the heavy weights, behind Joshua, definently deserving of a shot ,unless there's an upset

If Joyce wins, and I think he is highly likely to, it will be harder for either Joyce or Whyte to avoid each other, if none of them will be scheduled to fight for the belt. They both will be highly ranked. To me Whyte-Joyce would be 50/50 fight, but if pressed, I'd probably give Joyce a very slight upper hand actually for his chin, stamina and pedigree. But for some reason I feel that Whyte wouldn't be keen on fighting Joyce.

both a bit heavy but it's a good test for Joyce.

Hahaha what?

I dunno, I think we know exactly what Joyce is. He's a big, slow throwing, arm punching fighter with little head movement. He's also got a first rate motor, thudding power, ******* jab and solid chin. He has liabilities, he has strengths.

I expect Joyce to get hit by a game Takam and the fight to be entertaining until he slowly grinds the Frenchman's resolve and punch resistance down.

We won't really know what he does against AJ, Fury or even Wilder until he steps in the ring with them. It's a matter if his liabilities or his strengths prevail against that particular opponent.

Takam had David Adeleye as a sparring partner it should get him past mid rounds against Joyce and put a good fight in but in the end I can only see a Joyce win ,possible 10th round stoppage is my guess .

What time is this fight for Americans?

JJ's not overweight. He is coming in close to 18 stone but he is a big man at 6'6. He used to play Rugby & he has that brawny Rugger player build, no-one expects him to be lean. I expect JJ to win around 8-11. Takam won't be able to avoid JJ's jab & while he will initially think he can just take it, as DDD found, he'll eventually find he can't.

I doubt it will slow him down.

I hope not, if he gets any slower....

On a serious note: I got Joyce winning this comfortably,

[landotter]

Takam will make him earn it. But earn it he will. I think Joyce may win by UD. But it will be fun.
