Joe Joyce vs Derek Chisora - ESPN+ / TNT Sports - Fight By Fight Thread

Yep and I have unending respect for guys like that. Dude probably knows he will die young and be brain dead within a decade, but he will be beloved til the end of his days and has set his family up for life. There's lots of honor in the path he chose for himself, to entertain others at the cost of his own health. A true warrior from a bygone era I hope he’s compensated well for all he’s done. I haven’t really followed his career closely, but one look at his resume tells me all I need to know. And if tonight was any indication of how his career was, well, he’s a dying breed for sure.

That's the ugly business of boxing unfortunately. Chisora does himself no favors, he's like an old gladiator that wants to hear the roar of the fans and chanting of his name even if it means the end of himself.

Is everyone listening to the commentators ?? Joyce won by a round id say but id be happy with a draw No way a clear chisora win though like these idiots are saying hes been outpunched in just about every round You are absolutely right. One must take off the rose-colored glasses when judging a Del Boy fight objectively. It's because everyone loves him. He is always the sentimental favorite when he fights. While he fought both valiantly and well in spurts. I still had him losing the fight but I am happy he won though

The unheralded hero for the night are the ropes, for propping Del Boy up. Two very primitive brawlers watching the fight were overheard complaining about the lack of defense and technique... In a prefight interview when an announcer asked Joyce about his lack of defense Joyce got a surprised look on his face, scratched his head and said "wait a minute... You mean your allowed to block punches with your guard? and not just with your face?" The Del Boy sling is the new "bolo" punch type innovation. One falls back on the ropes, propels oneself and lets the hand come forward just ahead of the body... To stop inertia? slide over to the other set of ropes... assuming you do not run into your opponent glove first... But if your opponent is Joyce, what is the chance of that happening? Chisora's corner told him: "Look just close your eyes, let it fly, it will probably catch Joyce. Joyce meanwhile. Is practicing a punch using his face, since he leads with it. God help us all... heavyweight boxing has turned into a contest just below the local toughman contest. I dare at least one size queen to tell me that Guys are just too big|! Chisora or Joyce would slaughter the likes of mini heavyweights like Foreman., Liston... Louis.

Chisora will fight on, but wish he would go out on the win, instead of the beating he’ll most likely go out on facing a better opponent down the road… Cong**** to him & WAR CHISORA! Itauma-Joyce? Lol Agreed. Ride into the sunset. He is always a handful, but he was slower now than v Parker and gassed more. Just take it as a last great fight and enjoy the next chapter. I dont care what anybody says about Chisora, respect. He came to fight every time I ever saw him and even pulled off an old head win.

Joyce - Makhmudov would be fun.

Joyce vs the Clarke/Wardley winner please Joyce needs to go back to square one and fight for the British title.

Joyce is maybe the most pathetic puncher I have ever seen. Does not load up or turn over his punches at all, literally punches like a girl, and with zero co ordination. No idea how someone can punch so bad despite being a boxer all his life. Joe started boxing at age 22. While his style is far from perfect, I'd say he hardly punches like a girl, with a +90% KO ratio.

You know they will , right ??? Milk him until the end No regard for his health That's the ugly business of boxing unfortunately. Chisora does himself no favors, he's like an old gladiator that wants to hear the roar of the fans and chanting of his name even if it means the end of himself.

Absolute fu#king modern day heavyweight slugfest and I loved it.

That would be ideal. I hope they don't feed him to someone who will really hurt him. I would like for Chisora to play gatekeeper vs. Justis Huni. But I don't think that's a big enough fight for him. Maybe if it happens on a Saudi card.

Chisora - Babic please. Del deserves an easy fight. Crowd loves him, he will make a million whoever he fights.

I have never seen anyone fall from` grace the`t fast

Joyce vs the Clarke/Wardley winner please

Props to Frank Warren for looking out for his fighters well-being but I don't think that was the time to throw cold water on Joyce. He's right though, they need to take take some time and evaluate where to go from here.

Vitali beat Chisora 12 years ago. the same Chisora is still hanging around, beating the guy that was a expected to challenge Fury for WBC belt only a few fights ago.
