Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Drops, Breaks Down, Stops Bermane Stiverne

[sportbuddha]

Bit of an issue for Wilder die-hards now, because a guy with less than 10 fights and looking very slow and limited beats the hell out of the second best opponent on Wilders entire resume.

Too easy for Joyce. He only had to throw to connect, due to the lack of movement from Stiverne. Forget the bigger names on the heavyweight scene, anyone in the top 15 would level him right now.

The Stiverne of 5 years ago is the same Stiverne of today...

Did you not watch the Ray Austin fight?

He's always been a slow plodder.

The only reason he won the HW title was because he fought a guy who was much slower than him in Arreola.

No way. The Stiverne that beat Arreola was much sharper, in better shape and had a decent jab too.

Yeah this dude is nowhere near ready for the top level, Ortiz would've waxed him. He's heavy handed but that's pretty much it, very easy to hit.

Surprised Stiverne lasted that long, didn't look like he even trained for the bout, I would've easily picked a prime Stiverne to beat him.

Stiverne lasted that long cause Joy isn't as heavy handed as they make it out to be. ..
I didn't see nothing special about him.

That was not the same Stiverne that took Wilder 12 rounds. He clearly just showed up to get paid tonight.

Don't be surprised to hear Stiverne took lasting damage in this fight. Hits like a baby? I think not.

Maybe not like a baby buy he's no knockout artist either...

Joyce is the real deal

He just breaks people down with relentless pressure and a granite chin. Proven impossible to deal with so far for his opponents. The issue comes when he fights a mover or someone who can time him. I don't doubt he hits fookin' hard though. Stiverne was on the back foot the whole fight with a high guard and still got clubbed half to death.

I think the Stiverne of 5 years ago would have beaten Joyce.

Easy bro. No doubt. A 40 year old boxer who was inactive and very overweight... Plus he was landing on the better opponent. Joyce isn't going anywhere in the division. Title shot would be all he gets and when or if he makes it to one... it won't be deserved. Joyce is a boxer they are hoping to be great but he is not going to be. So out of nowhere he will be like in the top 3 in the rankings because of this fight lol. It will be a big domestic hype fight. Another Harrison except not as good as him.

Joyce is just worse version of Joshua, much worse, older and robotic.
