Unbeaten Olympic Super-Heavyweight Silver medalist Joe Joyce 9-0 (9 KOs) scored a predictable third round stoppage over the huge Alexander Ustinov 34-4 (25 KOs) on the Saunders v Isufi card in Stevenage, UK.. Joyce showed a lot of patience throughout the first couple of rounds, setting up the 42 year old veteran with subtle shots.. Ustinov did land a couple of single right hands, but Joyce was far too driven to be denied by an opponent literally leagues beneath him.. The clumsy Belarusian telegraphed shots throughout and was wide open for the left hook that dropped him in the third.. Coherent and not physically stricken, the giant never seriously attempted to beat the count.. The time was 1:55 of the 3rd.. Joyce wasn’t spectacular, but it’s an important step in the right direction with lucrative fights available at both British and European level.. Ustinov comes off two stoppage losses having be deposed by Olympian Michael Hunter jr a matter of months ago..
