Abel Sanchez: "Joe Joyce isn't ready for Luis Ortiz"

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

I wish Usyk handlers would take the same approach in the Heavyweight division

[boliodogs]

That sounds reasonable.

[_Maxi]

33 years old fighter not ready for a 40 years old fighter. Jesus.

[VatoMulatto]

Joyce is ready for anyone. C'mon now, I want to see Joyce vs any top 10 fighter next.

[pillowfists98]

Joyce hasn't had a true step up fight yet. And washed up Stiverne doesn't really count.

[alexguiness]

I'd say Joyce is just about ready for a shot, overweight, undertrained Stiverne...just

[4truth]

If Joyce managed to beat Ortiz it would be a surprise, I get it.

It would be a big surprise if Joyce made any real noise at heavyweight. It would take a whole series of surprises but you gotta start somewhere and you better start soon.

❌ Trainer Abel Sanchez has revealed he shot down the prospect of Joe Joyce vs Luis Ortiz happening now. He believes Joyce isn't ready for Ortiz yet and wants him to have two more fights before considering that level of opponent. [@IFLTV]

Wise move because Ortiz would decapitate him.

[Mister Wolf]

They need Ortiz to be 50.

Joyce knocks out ortiz.
