    I think for Joyce to win he has to channel the old Juggernaut, the guy that gets punched in the face and doesn't even know it, but I don't think Joe can be that old Juggernaut anymore.

      I'll be amazed it Joyce doesn't get stopped - he shouldn't even be fighting - he has that glassy-eyed 'nobody-at-home' look - probably a merciful referee stoppage. That said, I'm not sure how much Hgrovic wants to be successful, how much he's prepared to step through.

          That dude standing behind Hgrovic is the widest person I've seen in a minute. He looks like 2.5 Hgrovics at the shoulders. His momma must have been breastfeeding with HGH and Sostenon.

                  I think that Joyce will win this. It is a very bad style match up for Hrgovic if he can't get him out of there early.

                  Hrgovic doesn't have the stamina to keep up with Joyce in the mid-late rounds. He showed this by barely scraping by Zhang, who is basically dead after 5 rounds.

                  I don't know if Joyce is truly shot or not but to me he's just run into Zhang who was a bad match up and fought with a dumb gameplan against Chisora (should have just jabbed his head off). I think if he has anything left then this should be a good opportunity for him to get a decent win.

                    Really hope that Joyce can surprise people and get this done. Always liked the guy, sucks he never got a big money AJ or Fury fight before Zhang derailed him. Whatever anyone thinks about his speed, defence etc you've gotta respect what he did to Parker and DDD. Those wins have aged tremendously.
