Joyce win on Takam, WBC Silver.

SSE Arena, Wembley, has seen to conclude, a few hours ago, a good match, even if it was short-lived. Between Joyce and Takam.Joyce is waiting for a world challenge, titled and deserved, he showed to have the numbers; we thought he was losing against Dubois, instead he showed us, in that victory, that in addition to the talent it takes a head and a determination and concentration out of the ordinary, to win and set world goals.

The match that saw Joyce win lasted six rounds, we emphasize that except the first study, arrived at the epilogue of the sixth, Takam was winning, for a work to the medium distance, which at some junctures has put in difficulty the WBC champion, yet another demonstration of the fact that when there are two boxers in the ring the match takes life and turns on.

Joyce worked with jabs and combinations and Takam dodged and returned and we repeat, in some phases he put incisive hooks, which have interrupted the action of the Englishman and led him to recover, that is, it was clear the supremacy of the boy from Cameroon against the champion who has cashed many blows, and we think none of his had, expected a trend like this.

In the sixth round, after an important one-two by the champion, and an incessant number of blows, it is clear that Takam is in trouble, and the referee calls a halt; Takam is lucid and protests, but these are the facts; ignoring what could have happened, and the fact that we would have let him continue, the champion is always given a hand.

A reflection that comes to us to make, post macth is the mental approach to the match, and the mental approach when you are in the match, Joyce was clearly aware that he would win, but would not have imagined such stubbornness and insistence on the part of Takam, combined with determination, and perhaps all this has caught Joyce unprepared, but then reminded us why soon will dispute a crowned title.

What a spectacle boxing, once again, the demonstration that a match for an approach to an important crown, can have a thousand difficulties, and then the demonstration that a champion pulls out of the hat a blow that changes everything, has the ability to take, and is ready to sweat, on the other hand a boxer always ready to fight, always ready to annoy and put in trouble anyone. Really boxing is beautiful to watch when it reaches high levels, as all sports are when they are made by very good athletes. We are in love with boxing.
