JOYCE VS. PARKER PREDICTION
Even though Robbie is holding a significant reach advantage over Jake, Jake needs to use better footwork to bother Robbie. If he can’t, then it will be a long night for him eating persistent jabs.
Even though Joyce is an easy target, it doesn’t prevent him from reaching this level that he is at. Although there may be some changes, nothing glaringly obvious will change about his approach.
Parker will have to get inside and engage. Joyce is regarded as an underdog, but he throws counter shots with deceptive speed, so the idea of Parker staying close to land more shots on Joyce might get abandoned once he gets a taste of the power coming from the Englishman.
This contest’s potential final highlight is the late stoppage; while Joyce has reached a state of complete disarray and won’t win the fight, Parker will keep him at bay. I anticipate that he will stumble over himself and secure the win in the late rounds. With six defenses of his UFC title belt already under his belt, he is already looking to add one more in the coming months.
