I thought it was interesting that Parker looked as heavy as I've seen him on the scales. For me that's a bit strange as I would have thought with Joyce he'd want to try and have some movement, stamina, speed to outbox him. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Didn't realise Joyce was as old as he is.
I remember David Allen said he sparred Joe Joyce one time, left the gym, walked about town for 20mins, ended up at a KFC didn’t know where he was
2-1 Joyce, probably. Good fight.
Parker throwing wild already, only a matter of time
3-2 Joyce. Parker landing the odd good shot but body language wise, I think Joyce has the fight he wants. He's putting on the pressure and Parker looks a bit uncomfortable
What the feck is Joyce’s head made of
It’s like a 12’ block
4-2 for Joyce, good round for him.
Kind of reminds me of Kelly Pavlik. Perhaps a random comparison, but the way Joyce arm punches and doesn't look great but the physical presence he has and heavy handedness is very similar.

Fair play Parker sticking in there
If Kelly wasn’t such an alco he’d have been ATG
Yeah Parker is done
Joyce looking way too big and strong and relentless at the moment. I've got him 5-2 now.
Really good fighter. His fight with Edison Miranda was brilliant. Of course he didn't have have the class against old man Hopkins but generally speaking he was a proper handful. Joyce reminds me of him in how imposing and aesthetically unpleasing he is, but you cannot argue against the fact he imposes himself on opponents.
Parker looking quite beat up now. 6-2 Joyce.
This is probably better than what AJ did against Parker.

I’ve said before Joyce is the biggest threat to Fury
I fear for Parker’s safety here, I’d pull him out.
Parker put quite an effort into that round. Not sure if it was enough and it may make it harder to survive the distance. Not entirely sure how to score that one but Joyce certainly 3 or 4 ahead.
Losing years off his life here Parker
Parker just doesn't have it in him to stop Joyce's forward pressure, although he does do some eye catching work. Parker probably needs something's dramatic.
Man he was fecked about 4 rounds ago, probably ended his career tonight
Wow. That's genuinely impressive from Joyce. What can you say, he's outperformed AJ, he's destroyed a top level heavy with a good chin. Deserves his shot.
I’ll take the money but not a bet I liked Parker was well beaten
It was extremely impressive. Big, relentless pressure, power…..and a fecking stone head. Tough combination
Joe Joyce; seemingly like a final level boss on a game. Relentless and immune to pain.
Are you guys actually jumping on my Joyce boat?
Definitely. Theres not many that would want to face that. Would Fury be a big favourite? Definitely because he has the chin, speed and boxing ability to just outclass Joe slightly. But the rest should be pretty worried.
Think Joyce lacks the handspeed to trouble the real top level guys, but he's definitely a 'juggernaut'. Deceptive power, good workrate and just keeps pressuring.
You can tell Parker really didn't enjoy that one. Amazed he lasted that long.

Fury would be a 3:1 favourite I reckon. But I doubt he’d want to fight Joyce over some of the other options he has. Which belt is Joyce mandatory for now? If it’s one of Usyk’s I’ve genuinely no idea how that fight would go down. Usyk outpointing him maybe
You can paddle shipmate….I’ll steer
Hard to bet against a man with a head like one of those indestructible termite mounds
Yeah but there's no guarantee the top level guys knock him out with one big shot.
Joshua and Wilder have their own weaknesses. Neither have 12 solid rounds at the pace Joyce sets. Neither like working every second of every round and both can be hurt.
There are pluses and minuses for all of them in my opinion but if they don't knock out Joyce quite quickly they're in a lot of trouble.
Fury couldn’t handle Joyce
Only you and me know fighting then Tyson never been intimidated beforeYou can paddle shipmate….I’ll steer
Hard to bet against a man with a head like one of those indestructible termite mounds
He'd school Joyce.
Fury’s the only guy I’d confidently take over Joyce
Everyone else.. Joyce has a real chance
Everyone else.. Joyce has a real chance
I’d pick Fury and Usyk over Joyce.
His chin, if it is actual titanium might take him past Wilder/AJ potentially.

Battle of the nice guys. It was a bummer to see Parker get KO'd
Wilder's right hand v Joyce's chin -

Doesn’t feel as though Fury ever wanted the Joshua fight. Wanted some press coverage and when Joshua called him out, he’s set a ridiculous deadline and called it off. Shame as that could still be an awesome fight.
Are people actually biggin up Joyce. He did look OK vs Usyk. I don't rate Parker tbh. Quite boring
