Capoeria is a Brazilian martial art that was devised by ****** who were forbidden to train. To overcome this, they created what appeared to be a dance so the guards wouldn't suspect that they were learning how to fight. They incorporated the fight moves into the dance, that's why Joe Joyce is performing the original dance, side step move, then throwing in the spin kicks into the "dance". It's most famously used in the Streetfighter games by the character Eddy Gordo. Anyway, it does show that he has some athletic ability for such a big guy.

Pretty impressive for a big fella. Wonder if he's that light on his feet during his fights...

[Vegemil]

I don't wanna criticize but is he really that tired or does he normally wing his punches like that?

[boliodogs]

His punches didn't look very fast or powerful and that is what matters in a boxing match.

Usyk beat him decisively when they fought some years ago but he gave a good account of himself back then and he's apparently improved a lot since then.

Future MMA fights for this cat maybe if things don't work out in boxing. And the UFC don't f#ck around for real. Dude wins 5 fights in a row and he's champion.

Blasphemy! It's actually Tekken.

On topic Joyce is powerful and appears to be fairly athletic but he really needs to work on his technique a bit more. I still feel he is very raw boxing skill wise.
