Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Makes Pro Debut, Stops Ian Lewison in Eight Round

If I were Haye and picking the next opponent for him I would go with The Highlander or the winner of White Rhino/Thomas 2 for the Commonwealth title. Could also see them going for the English title if Webb beats Gorman, wouldn't test it against Sexton yet

Feck that! Would be a snuff video

Tought debut fight but I expected a lot more from Joyce

Just imagine what Daniel Du Bois wouldve done to Lewison

He should go straight for Sexton or Allen/Thomas

white rhino v joyce would be tremendous!

If Rhino actually let his hands go i would pick him to beat joyce tbh, Joyce looks like hes punching underwater.

I agree with Allen/Thomas, think Sexton could present some problems

You're being unfair. Against the level of opposition Dubois has faced, Joyce would look like a killer too. There's a reason Dubois hasn't fought a Lewison level opponent yet. He could completely crumble after a few rounds like Price. We saw Joyce having to work a lot harder than most debutants and that's because he was in with a live body, he should be praised for that, not written off

Let's be fair, Lewison has only ever been stopped once and that was in the corner against Whyte. He's never looked like he was going to be KO'd. I'd never judge a fighters power because they didn't drop Lewison easily, he has a chin and very tough.

All things considered, it's a very good debut. Joyce is still raw, which is to be expected really. They shouldn't move him up too quick though, he has plenty to learn.

He got rid of Lewison quicker than Whyte did and Whyte is a fighter supposedly on course for world title shots. So i can't be too critical.

I think the two lads fighting for the English title are probably better than Sexton.

Sexton is decent but long in the tooth, not a big puncher, short for a heavyweight, and has achieved his life time goal I'd think.

I dunno how much money the channel Dave gets them because I think Sexton will want to cash out

Haye mentioning Sexton and the Commonwealth champ, they are really gonna fast track him
