Comments Thread For: Tony Yoka Eyes Summer Showdown With Johann Duhaupas

Yoka needs to fight someone like Ouatah in his first fight back instead, needs at least 2 more before the likes of The Reptile

Yep a good durable opponent like Ouatah is a decent fight. He already beat David Allen so Ouatah or Enguema would be a good first fight back. Saw both these guys on a french card last year against Duhaupas & Rivas.

Big step up, though Duhuapas is a bit battle-worn at this stage.

Knocking him out would make a statement and maybe lead to a top 20 fight.

Yoka is way better than Joyce in every department.

mmh no he isn't. He's better at running and covering up that's it. Joyce proved he was the better fighter when they fought.

Thanks for proving my point. That fight was a clear robbery. Yoka also robbed Hgrovic in the semis. And Joyce was hurting him in a three-rounder and wearing bigger gloves. Imagine what he would do to him in the pros...

Ehh, not the first time they fought. Yoka did best him in the 2015 tourney, i think Joyce could have deserved the nod in the Olympics but they're competitive. Hitting someones guard does not equate to landed punches-

but i certainly don't think he steamrolls Yoka like you allude to.
