Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Fights Through Early Fire, Stops Carlos Takam in Sixth

[Stuntman Mike]

No, Nash rarely bets on fights in England (refs/judges) Nash feels that Joyce had turned the tide at this stage, but reverse the fighters at the end and the ref does not jump in and stop Joyce. This is an absolute fact.

Nash picked Takam as a good outside bet to win the fight at 7-1, and how the fight played out, showed that he was, as he was without a doubt ahead on points at the time of the stoppage.

The Nash feels that Joyce was to easy to hit in those early rounds and if those shots were coming from the great Deontay Wilder, that he would still be asleep now. Nash out.

Nash the problem is Joyce wouldn't be in trouble against takam it was a horrible bet..one man's motor runs all night and the others gasket blows out

many knew takam would land punches and would land punches before he eventually succumbed to Joyce's pressure

Wilder may be able to ko Joyce but then again he may not I guess we will just have to wait and see

I personally believe Joyce would be able to take Joshua and wilders best shots and walk them down into submission

Fury would be the toughest fight out there for Joyce I'm just not sure if Joyce would be able to land on fury effectively enough before the 12 rounds are up but I certainly would have high hopes for him going into the fight

And your first paragraph nothings an absolute fact until it actually happens my friend

Might not be an absolute fact, but let's be honest, it's a high likelihood. I'm English, but I think these "A STAR" referees are the worst in the world, and we have the worst judges.

The Nash says I think Fury makes light work of Joyce. I think stylistically, he is a nightmare for him. Wilder sparks him out. Joyce is to easy to hit clean. I'd give Joyce a 40% chance vs Joshua though. Joshua hits hard, but not in the single shot way that Wilder does. Joyce vs Ruiz or Hrgovic would interest me as well. Nash out

So you think it's impossible for Joyce a man who stalks and pressures opponents with the most atg chin you or I have ever witnessed (let's be honest here)
couldn't replicate what is his bread and butter style of imposing himself like fury did over wilder ..if Joyce gets through 2 rounds with wilder he's going to have him blowing out his arse

Joyce would be a huge favorite personally if he fought wilder...what fury did was nothing too special to me and he managed to take wilder punches lets not forget

Takam was saved it's ok to admit that,the stoppage prior was a joke but the Joyce one...did you see takams face plus he looked like he was drowning underwater it was a good stoppage

Joyce can take anyone's power except Wilder's. Fury took only a few shots because he has a great defence. Joyce will have to take too many shots in the early rounds for his chin to be able to hold up. Nash out.

This wasn't an early stoppage IMO. I think far too many boxing fans seem to be living in the 20th century, back when 15 rounds was the norm for title fights and no-one cared about the long-term effects of concussions and brain injuries. It's a different world now. Referees and Boxing Commissions have to take their responsibilities for boxers' health much more seriously now. If a guy is getting pummelled for 20 seconds, bloodied in the mouth, eyes glazed over, not throwing back, then none of the powers that be will criticize a ref for ending a fight. The show was only heading towards one conclusion at that point. An extra ten or twenty seconds of punishment could be the difference between a happy comfortable retirement with your kids and taking your meals through a straw for the rest of your (much shortened) life.

The fight was stopped too soon, British refs for you. Joyce is a very good fighter, even if he looks very slow onscreen. Fury and Joshua would beat him easily though.

This stoppage is why I can understand Teofimo not wanting to go to Australia. He gets wobbled once and the ref will look to stop the fight for the hometown fighter.

[aaronbnb]

I can't understand this.

I counted about 20 punches without the slightest hint of a reply. That's why it was stopped.

Your desire to see Carlos Takam connected to a drip isn't anything to do with the sport of boxing.

stop it with connected to a drip. he took some shots. that's the fight game. guys get hurt and try to recover. most shots were hitting his shoulders or gloves.

you know what actually gets guys connected to a drip? getting screwed out of fights and then having to take fight after fight to get back to that position in the rankings and get another shot at the big time. that's what makes this sport hard to watch, not a guy seeing stars and trying to defend himself.

but hey, Takam is a easy guy to screw. He's 40 years old and no one will care, except his family.

[Flabble Scrote]

You just described Joe. He's slow, he pushes his punches, he gets countered off his jab. 50-50 fight. Joe eats more leather than Hrgovic.

Yeah fair enough I'm not watching much boxing at the mo haha Joyce and Parker is a great fight
