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.”
The main card starts at 13:30 ET live in Dazn, and walks with the Ring of the Main Event are expected around 16:30 ET.
Nelson Hysa def. Patrick Korte – KO2
Total mismatch. Hysa sentenced the corta from the opening bell, landing hefty hooks and tearing her head with each neat shot. Kortte knee for the first time after eating a pair of brutal right hands, and then barely survived the round. Hysa returned and finished work in the second – another knocking out, another dam, and the corta was completed. No response, without resistance, only one -sided beating.
Billy Adams Def. Alexander Morales-Punkty (40-36)
Adams boxed around Morales and did not lose a second. Delicate left on his feet, mixed the levels and cleaned his shots. Morales tried to close the gap, but he never put a glove on it. It was a routine, clinical and exactly what a potential potential customer should do. Nothing flashy – only four rounds of pure control.
Sam Gilley vs. Gideon onyenani-Draw (76-76)
Gilley could not cope with the pressure and looked lost in the trenches. Onyenani took him inside, turned him into a fight on a telephone boat and never let him comfortably. Gilley tried to hurt, but persecuted in survival mode. Ugly fight, truthful result?
UMAR Khan def. Moises Garcia-One-Wykna Decision (79–72)
Khan boxed well, but he looked like he was a sparring and he didn’t fight. Brisk combinations flashed, and then pierced long sections without urgency. Garcia had no answers, but he never looked close to folding. It was one-sided-and still forgotten.
Jack Williams Def. Fernando Joaquin Valdez-Punkty (40-36)
Uncomplicated work for Williams, who barely left the second equipment. He remained patient, keen and true against the guy with one win in seventeen attempts. Valdez consumed blows, but he was not a real threat. Williams drove through all four rounds, barely touched and pierced the neat sweeping without sweat.
Winch kept him neat, keen and all companies from the opening bell. She bitten, turned and closed Dvorakov, without taking risks. The Czech warrior tried to force a fight, but he never passed the front door. Pure control – each round, every second.
