Joe Joyce predicts that he will defeat the pretender for heavyweight Filip Hrgovica in a 10-round headliner on Saturday, April 5, live at DAZN at 14:00 et/11: 00 PT with Co-OP Live Arena in Manchester, England.

No warrior can afford another loss if they want to stay in hunting for a shot in the title of world champion. 32 -year -old Hrgovic was knocked out in the eighth round by Daniel Dubois in June last year in Riyjad in a fight in which he was a favorite to win.

Hrgovic was put as a substitute after Dillian Whyte withdrew from the fight with Joyce because of an injury. He is a complex deputy for Joyce and he doesn’t look good.

“The Juggernaut” Joyce (16-3, 13 KO) has a 1-3 record in its last four fights and slipped out of the 15 best rankings after his last defeat with Derek Chisor on July 27 last year. Joe’s performance in this fight was one of the worst in his career because he looked slowly at 281 pounds.

It seems that Joyce has not cut the Saturday fight against the replacement opponent of Hrgovic (17-1, 14 KO), which can be a bad news for him. In the last three fights of Joyce he weighed in the years 280. And this is too much weight for him, because he is too free to carry this kind of size. It must be in the 250s, but it doesn’t look like it happened.

“It is quite highly rated and it is a name that will return to the top,” said Joe Joyce Queensberry About his fight with the pretender Filip Hrgovic on Saturday, April 5 in Manchester, England. “Bookmakers are not always right. Let’s see. This is a great fight,” said Juggernaut Joyce, asked why Hrgovic became a favorite, even though Daniel Dubois lost.

Hrgovic occupies #6 IBF, #6 WBA and #6 WBC. After the way he looked with his loss with Dubois, he will probably have to focus on winning the position to fight in the eliminator of the world championship title to become a must. None of the champions will give Hrgovica the title of world champion in voluntary defense because he is too hazardous.

Second round

“This is not the best situation, but there is a great recovery,” Joyce said about his thoughts about Dillian Whyte withdrawing from the fight. “Yes, it’s a pity what happened to his finger, but it can happen in boxing.”

Whyte would still be a really complex fight for this version of Joyce, but more possible to win than towards Hrgovic. This is a bad duel for Joyce, unless he finds a youth fountain.

“I know his posture, his style and who he trains,” said Joyce about Hrgovita. “I have a good idea for what to do and how to beat it. It was a great performance, and I try to do the same,” said Joyce about his five -time win in the decision with Hrgovic at the World Series of Boxing in 2013.

“We had fights, we learned and we intend to have a great fight. There is some history, but I will win.”

Coach Mickey Bey says that Terenka Crawford should not be hefty on his title challenge against Unified Super Middle Wweight Champion Canelo Alvarez in September.

Bey thinks that Bud is smarter, who has inflammation from 165 to 168 at night. He says that Crawford should fight more or less the same weight in which he weighs, because it would allow him to maintain speed against Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO)

Crawford will not give any additional power than what he had at the age of 154 or 147. Adding muscles does not improve power in many cases, especially when a fighter in a hurry during one training camp. The only time to add additional muscles improves the power when the warrior is on PED, as in the case of steroids designed to create strength.

The perfect weight of Crawford

“In my opinion, I would not be hefty. I would come at 165 and on the same weight to fight. 165 or 168,” said coach Mickey Bey to Millcity boxing Asked what weight, Crawford, he should break free to fight with the United Champion of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez on September 13.

Crawford already looks like he has packaged a lot of pounds and seems much larger than during the last fight. Of course, the training camp did not start. Maybe Crawford will eliminate, but it doesn’t look like it will be. He counts on the possibility of matching Alvarez in the size department.

“He shouldn’t hydrate much. He should just stay where he is. Why would he hydrate a lot when he is growing?” Bey said about Crawford. “I’m talking about the best form. Yes, it can weigh. I say that Crawford should be under 170 in the ring or at the age of 170.”

Crawford will be tardy if it again takes 180 pounds after incision of the fight against Canelo, and this will act against his ability to move around the ring. The best thing for him is his speed and mobility. It will be devoted to this if he spends up to 180 years.

Fight night weight

“Whatever feels good in sparring many times, in this I came to. 168-171, I would remain in this respect. This is the only factor, he was not too free. 165 and fights anywhere on the same weight. He will probably have 165 or 170 when he will fight. He can do 160 very uncomplicated or 154, he can do.

“So he can enter everything like Floyd at the age of 154. With Crawford, when he is in the best shape, it will probably be in the 160s.

Michael Zerafa threw his hat on the ring a few days before the planned return of Tim Tsiza, offering the replacement of Joey Spencer if the American leaves because of a judging dispute.

Spencer’s team is furious after learning that all three appointed judges of the Sunday main event will be Australians – something they claim directly violates the conditions agreed over two months ago. Now, Zerafa said Fox Sports Australia He is ready to jump if the fight breaks down.

“There is a belief that everything is going on Tim” Zeeraf said.
“If Joey Spencer and his team believe that the assessment situation is not fair and decide not to go forward, I will be ready. Regardless of whether it is a five -day notification or only one, if there is a chance to solve the unfinished business, I accelerate – I do not hesitate.”

An unfinished company refers to their scrapped clash 2021, from which Zerafa withdrew when blocking Covid. This movement caused hefty criticism, but the warrior in Melbourne rebuilt his reputation and fought on the undercard in Las Vegas, Las Vegas. Now he looks at the chance to finally get Tyu in the ring – in extreme circumstances.

Judging bombs shakes the Tsyzu-Spencer Fight Week

Joey Spencer’s camp was blind to a sudden and unexpected change in the composition assessing the Sunday fight with Tim Tych – a distribution of conversation about a possible withdrawal a few days before the fight.

Said the father and trainer of Spencer, Jason Spencer Fox Sports Australia that they originally had a guarantee of an assessment panel consisting of one Australian and two international officials. Instead, they learned this week that all three judges would be local.

“When we were offered this fight 10 weeks ago, we were promised a neutral evaluating panel” He said.
“Now we are told that all three judges are Australians. This is not a contract. And tell them during the fight week – it is completely unprofessional.”

Jason quickly stated that he did not accuse anyone of fraud, but the fear is clear: even the appearance of domestic prejudices in a close fight may unjustly exchange the result.

“Judging does not have to be corrupt to be unfair” He explained.
“Just one official subconsciously favors a specific style or observing one warrior more than another. It can turn away from runes. It can change his career.”

Spencer Camp demands that TSYZYU pus the honesty

According to Spencers, what worsens this controversy is that Tim Tziu accepted neutral judges for previous fights for the title of world champion at home – including against Tony Harrison and Brian Mend.

“Why change now?” Jason asked.
“Does Tim Tziu want a fair fight?”

For now, Tsyzyu remains planned at Spencer at 11 am Aedt on Sunday, April 6, live at the main event by Kayo Sports. But unless the judging situation is not resolved, Spencer’s syndrome may leave.

And if this happens, Michael Zerafa says he is standing with gloves.
