Absolute robbery. Covered up for three rounds and got the decision.

Could have gone either way Joe never stopped ****ing , feel a little sad for him but Yoka is class and at times made Joe look just a little ponderous....but very close !

Too close to scream "ROBBERY" it could've been 2-1 either way and the judges had it SPLIT so no Robbery IMO

[mannysavage]

fk missed this fight, was it really a robbery? one of the news sites said it was while another said it was close but Yoka deserved it

[NEETzsche]

i'm not saying it was a clear robbery but it's fishy how yoka gets the benefit of the doubt in literally every close fight he's involved in

[PrinceNaz88]

Couldn't see how Yoka won that. Certainly don't know how 2 judges gave him the first 2 rounds.

[ShoulderRoll]

It was close.

If Joyce had fought one of the other rounds like he fought the third then he would have won clearly.

[fistic flow]

Abysmal judging. Also a a complete robbery with Uzbekistan v Azerbaijan.

Got no idea how you could score round 1 and 2 for Yoka I can agree with you giving round 3 to him but should have been 2-1 to Joyce bad judging they weren't scoring the constant body shots that landed.
