Promoter Eddie Hearn predicts that weighty weight claimant Filip Hrgovic will break Joe Joyce “Inside Three or Four Runs” on Saturday, April 5, on a live cooperative in Manchester in England.
Joyce: Used?
Hearn believes that Joyce’s resistance has decreased from his two knockout losses from Zhilei Zhang and thousands of sparring rounds he did over the years. He notes that the blows that Veteran Derek Chisora hurt 39-year-old Joyce in their fight last summer on July 27, he would never have done it to him before in his career.
Saturday’s Joyce event vs. Hrgovic will be shown live in Dazn. The main card starts at 14.00 et/11 in the morning PT, and the main ring of the event goes around 17:00 et/2 pm entitled
“He had a very close fight with Derek Chisor. No knocking out [in round nine]It would be very close – said the promoter Eddie Hearn Stamping ground About the recent defeat of Joe Joyce with a 41-year-old Veteran Derek Chisory on July 27 last year.
“Derek Chisora is now mandatory for [IBF heavyweight] World Championship title. He just defeated Otto Wallin. [Hearn makes a face, giving his thoughts on Derek being the IBF mandatory to fight for a world title.]”
The arrows with which Joyce was hit against Chisorie were caused by the fact that he fought too close, leaving defense and was leisurely. He fought him wrong. A faster warrior would destroy Chisora inside, but Joyce is so leisurely at this stage of his career that he was defenseless.
It was still a close fight with the result determined by Chisor, who shot Chisor, but Joyce should not lose the warrior at this level. At best, he would beat any version of Chisora.
Impact resistance
“The problem concerns some warriors, and Joe is a good example. Joe was always leisurely in the ring. He never looked like this sensational, qualified warrior,” said Hearn. “In the past he was very tough, it can hit, he is a immense nodule and has a great chin. As his career progressed, his impact resistance has changed.
“Shots that hurt him against Chisorie had never hurt him before. Two [Zhilei] Zhang defeats thousands of rounds of weighty sparring were a problem. If you want to predict, he [Joyce] On Saturday he will be well defeated and I think it will be in three or four rounds, said Hearn.
Joyce was knocked out twice in the first round during his amateur career in 2013. However, he was able to return from these losses and avoid knocking until he met Zhilei Zhang in 2023.
There is no shame when he was knocked out by a great puncher, such as Zhang, because he would do the same with Anthony Joshua if he was associated with similar blows. Zhang is the only guy who stopped Joyce in professionals. In the defeat of the juggernaut against Chisorie, he was never threatened with knocking out. He was dropped in ninth place, but it was more knocking down.
HRGOVICA FREE
Hrgovic says that Joyce is now “antique”, does not look good and must “retire” after the fight on Saturday evening. Of course, Filip is on the same boat, he was knocked out in his last fight and wounded in the match against Demesey McKean on August 12, 2023.
Hrgovic defeated in his last fight, he was eliminated in the eighth round by Daniel Dubois on June 1 last year. If Joyce can stay long enough to land weighty arrows, he can wear Hrgovic to get space. Dubois is also not the fastest guy, but he forced the tempo at the Hrgovita who wore him.
