Joyce just keeps trundling on........Hammer is done....sheer exhaustion. Joyce will beat anyone who can't outmove him. Nobody is going in there and putting it on him.

Hate to say it as I can't stand to watch him but I agree. He isn't beating an Usyk or Fury who have the skills and stamina to keep moving and make him look like the lumbering oaf he is, but for anyone else he will be a nightmare. Like a relentless crash test dummy you can hit but not hurt or discourage, with sledgehammers for fists. I agree he will pick up a belt at some point.
If you fight in straight lines, which at the moment is basically everyone below the top 2, there's a good chance he's going to catch up to you eventually and wear you out.
He is human and must be capable of discouragement but not by hitting him in the face alone....rather, by hitting him, disappearing, asking him miss and hitting him again. I'm convinced he's one of these guys who will be hurt more by emotional rather than physical damage. Make him look the oaf he is, and you're basically home and hosed.
Should be a decent fight. Parker will fade in the second half of the fight. Joyce will take over and may well get the stoppage win.
Good grief somebody in his corner should have told him something before coming out looking like a dildo lmao
Parker can win. His keys to victory will be selective punching particularly the left hook downstairs and back up, quickly. He must move. He simply must move.....he must move and pick his shots. At some point- could be very early, to try and stop Joyce getting into a groove- Parker must plant his feet briefly and open up. He must keep resetting Joyce. He must not fall into sparring partner mode like he did with Joshua and Whyte. He must finish better than he did with Chisora if the chance presents itself. For Joyce, he must protect those ribs, stay on the front foot and keep his hands moving all night and put Parker in his box. Once Parker gets boxed he tends to stay there and try to spring the traps I predict Joyce W12 after surviving ugly moments and basically wanting it a bit more against a too-passive Joyce.
Parker will give it a go. Fast start. Go to the body. Then Joyce MUST put hurt on him and put him in his shell. Here we go...
