Avfc96 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Rumours that Joyce vs Chisora is going to be announced for July. Just when boxing is going through its best spell in years, it shoots itself in the foot with absolute s***e like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an absolute disgrace. Chisora is 40, has 13 defeats and is showing massive signs of CTE. Joyce got stopped twice brutally by Zhang and is 38. Disgrace of a fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be amusing to see what they title the clash as ‘ rumble in the care home’ It’s incredible Chisora has made a career out of not being knocked out by Klitchsco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably due to my not really caring about heavyweights these days, but I thought “are these guys who only fight in England?”, and a quick Google of their records shows that I am mostly right, especially re: Joyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Heavyweights have to up their with the worse whe it comes to not knowing when to stop. Ali, Smoking Joe, Larry Holmes, Bowe and Evander are one's that really stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, he doesn't sound so "slurred" as those I previously named. But Yeah, no one should be boxing at 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out his age tbh, but yeah, he was out for quite a while before coming back in fairness. Still was a piss take and highlighted how bad the HW division was at that time.

Avfc96 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Garcia's B sample has also come back positive for PED's unsurprisingly. Hopefully that now means the commission involved can ban him for a long long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I've had a little flutter on Taylor to beat Catterall between 10 and 12. I just think a focused Taylor will just have that bit more "Pedigree". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Thought Taylor may have looked drained at the weight considering he's had a lot of trouble making the weight for the last few years, but he looks really good and not drained in the slightest. Think it's got the potential to be a really dirty fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though you could make a case that maybe Tyson had one fight too many. He took some awful punishment from Lewis. It was painful to watch. I still say to this day, Tyson was never the same fighter once Kevin Rooney left his corner. That really was a special Trainer/Fighter relationship.

sheepyvillian Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) I think Hearn makes a very good point with his remark about "Taylor being under appreciated." You can't question the resume and he is definitely a future Hall of Famer. I do think, sadly, he may be on the decline but take nothing away from the man, he is up there with the very best of British boxers imo.
