Joseph Parker stops Joe Joyce

[PrimadonnaKool]

Not a hard fight to predict.

The difference in handspeed is astronomical, and Parker is durable enough to withstand the odd slow shot Joyce will get through.

Parker isn't a massive puncher, but he hits hard enough that you can't give him free shots on your chin as regularly as Joyce will.

Check the line on this one, Joyce will probably be the favourite based on beating past it Takam and Jennings, easy money on Parker.

I think Parker will be the bookies favourite.

Interesting matchup. We have a puncher with no head movement against a good mover.

I would favor Joyce to stop the most of heavys, but I am not sure about his chances against Parker. Parker is a tough dude with very solid skills.

Not sure which one to pick in this one.

If Joyce works Parker's body hard since the outset, he wins easy.

If Joyce works Parker's body hard since the outset, he wins easy.

...and vice versa.

...and vice versa.

True.

However, I've always seen Joyce as more determined than Parker. It will be an interesting fight for sure. Let's hope nothing happens to prevent us from seeing it!

You d think parker has better chance to win. He has experience and has lost enough times to learn from mistakes

[BrilliantAJ]

Stops? I'm not so sure of that. Joyce is very hittable, but has an iron chin. In addition, Parker didn't stop any of Takam, Ruiz, Cojanu, Fa, Fury, or Chisora.

The hand speed difference can't be overstated. I reckon Parker builds a healthy lead on points, gasses somewhat, and then Joyce overwhelms him late - possibly a contentious home stoppage as well? Joyce TKO 11.

I don’t think he’ll stop Joyce but after watching the Hammer fight I have Parker as favourite.

He’s a better boxer and has significantly faster hand speed. He should be able to flurry with fast combos and then box and move fairly easily.

Wide UD

Can't see an average powered HW being the one to be the one to crack Joyce's chin.

Guys taken huge hits of bigger guys and keeping coming.

I'd happily bet on a Joyce KO.
