    Especially his right hand. He is a big man and he can hurt a lot of guys. When he was with Sanchez they worked a lot on the right hand.

      Yeah you’re right. I just find it crazy listening him talk you would never guess he could be a pro boxer let alone Frankenstein’s monster.

      He reminds me of my dorky cousin who spends all his time playing PC games.

        So many excellent boxers stay too long in the amateurs these days. When they finally turn pro they are already years past their physical prime.

          You can make decent money in the amatuers now with public funding of olympic programmes.

              Yeah we know why you wish he wasn't 35, but it's 2020 so who cares...

              Aaaaaaaanyway, the fundamental problem with Joyce isn't his age, it's his speed/agility.

                Joyce will be a mandatory somewhere unless he drops a fight . 3 years is a lifetime for him ,I think his age actually has benefited him . It’s not like he was this killer in his 20”s , he’s probably stronger now .

                  I doubt he's going to slow down. I'm not sure he can get any slower. He doesn't rely on speed and fights a really relaxed style, hence he doesn't gas out.

                  I could see him fighting for many years at the top level.

                      Man he lacks the speed and almost seems off balance alot, but he is like a steam roller. He pushes his jab through hia opponents head, and has heavy weird punches. But hey, he broke bones with it this weekend, and he was a big dog to come out like he did. Boom Pow
