The platform shoes are from the Cuban Olympic team. Hayes coach uses them for opponents. He has shoes made to make him the perfect height for the opponent. He's got a pair set to Lewisons height for Joyce and a pair at Bellews height for Haye. So when he takes his guy on the pads they are jabbing to the ideal height.
How the hell does Ian Lewinson come into a fight in such piss poor condition after an 11 week training camp? Tough debut for Joyce for sure and in a way kind of exposes just how overrated Dillian Whyte is. I didn’t really like Joyce as an amateur and I don’t think he’ll do anything as a pro. Teenager Daniel Dubois would of flatlined Lewison in less than three rounds tonight
Unimpressed with Joyce. Excellent jab and engine, but no snap to his punches and bar his jab, every other shot looked wooden and in slow mo. Wasn't over impressed with his defence either
Can't see him moving too far up the ranks unless there was a hell of a lot of first fight tension in his work (which I doubt).
Was at the show which had some very good bouts, I didn't miss a single one, couple not so good but that can be expected.
Joyce is getting so much unfair criticism, he bossed Lewison, and the majority of the crowd were supporting Lewison (more local etc). Joyce is a very good technical boxer, he walked Lewison around the ring and jabbed the fuck out of him. You can argue he should have beaten him earlier, but all the while Lewison was still throwing the big hooks it would have been foolish to completely unload.
You have to remember Lewison took a more experienced and potential world title contender, Dillian Whyte 10 rounds, he is no mug and Joyce absolutely dealt with him.
Willy Hutchinson was impressive but fighting a bum, but one to look out for was Tom Ansell who was very impressive on the early undercard.
Very large gypsy presence in support of Hutchinson and I'm pleased to say not a single spot of bother the whole evening. Really enjoyed it.
The biggest issue mate was that at Home we only got to see three fights MVP , Joyce and willie
The Production was piss poor i mean real bad
Then MVP done all this strictly come dancing shit whilst fighting a bum
Then Joyce comes out with a beautiful jab but wooden and lack of movement and Lewison was so out of shape his ankle went on him three times due to his shape and movement
Willie will be a super star it’s been spoke about for the last 18 months

There is Hayes money man not the other two
Erm , the full undercard was on the spike tv channel I think. Was watching something else so I didn’t catch it.
The fact that the ring seemed to be on a stage so only three sides of the crowd could see it was very strange.
As for MVP that was a bullshit stoppage and against anyone decent Page would get destroyed right now.

He looked awful, he does all of that shite in MMA. Didn't show any promise at all
I also with they wouldn't keep saying the Venom bit of his name every time they talk about him , it's like saying Evander the real deal Holyfield every time.

This amateur show
That was strictly combined with mma workout
Looking forward to seeing Joe Joyce though. Enjoyed watching him at the Olympics, he was relentless.
Intriguing fight.
Rate joe Joyce but have to ask why he left so long to go pro
So much wasted energy. Not overly impressed.
