The thing is though Joyce has only gone past mid rounds 3 times and he averages 5 rounds per fight so how much shots is he actually taking ? His opponents are usually on the defensive and land one clean shots here and there . So is Joyce actually getting used as a punching bag as many make out ? Not really he’s actually probably taking less shots bc his fights are shorter , yes he gets hit clean with power shots that’s something a real puncher who can follow it up is something he’ll have to be more aware of .
Id be more concerned about his sparring because he takes way more shots there and his sparring is a lot like a real fight at times . I’m thinking maybe that’s part of the problem he’s programmed himself to just walk down guys with no worries in the actual fight like he does in sparring it can be a habit .[/QUOTE]
Agreed, the points in bold that you made is what I'm getting at. He's walked thru the punches of everyone he's faced thus far. At some point he may find himself in with a guy who lands something he can't walk through.
I like Joyce, he's fun to watch and he seems like a nice guy.
