Self pie-solation.
Wearing masks and fist bumping, 24 hours before they might punch the other completely death. That literally happens multiple times a year in boxing. Logic? Zero!
And they are tested anyway. So fuckin phoney.
You said it! The “safety precautions” in response to the scamdemic would be hilarious if they weren’t so totalitarian.
Too heavy. This match is easy but in future….
Edi, great assessment. I agree.
It’s only a career heaviest by 5lbs, Tyson Fury weighed 270lbs when he destroyed Wilder, so in this fight I don’t think it’s a problem. Lets face it Joyce doesn’t move all that well anyway, and takes shots he shouldn’t.
He’s an absolute joke!!! I’ve never seen anyone move so slow in my life. IF he wins this fight, he is no doubt getting destroyed by Dubious who obviously takes his career much more serious.
As slow as Joyce is, he still seems to have timing of punches in his style that works for him to be a contender. At top level he will struggle being so slow. Is Dubois at top level is still to be seen. Interesting.
Damn Joyce was training on pies or Ruiz`s snickers. the guy is fat.
No way will Joyce beat Dubois. Why even waste time booking that.
