    Better retire before he gets some serious brain damage.

      It should be... The amount of overhand rights he's eaten have without doubt chipped away at his brain health, there's no doubt about that. Some fighters that frequently block punches with their head like GGG are often in the correct distance to absorb less damage - Joyce nearly always takes the shots FLUSH.

          You can already see signs from Joyce that he's been hit way to much in his career. He's never been the sharpest tool in the shed but lately hes become even less sharp than he was before. Takes him an age to reply to questions and to rebuttle etc like it's taking longer to process in his brain.. and now his punch resistance seems cracked it can't be good going in there at 39 against Hgorvic who will probably light him up in the. Retire before the sport retires you I say he can't be short of a few £££ and if he can't beat Hgorvic then there's nowhere for him to go

            I think Hrgovic is going to retire Joyce for good but if he can't then Hrgovic has a tough hill to climb. He is not marketable....

              Losing does beat a 9 to 5

                Probably but it *shouldn't do* because I see Hrgovic as an obvious favorite to win that fight anyway.

                Hrogivc is too durable for Joyce really. I'm not sure why Joyce chose such a tough opponent when he needs a confidence builder. Joyce would have a better chance against a harder hitter with less durability

                  Whyte should be there, but he got unjured. Hrgovic took the fight as a replacement.
