Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce vs. Kash Ali in Play For March 16 in Birmingham

Kash Ali? Parker did fight a can & a blown up CW before he KO'd Simon Kean. I know he needs a confidence building tune up but this is a guy who fought Ian Lewison in his pro debut. Ali would be the worst opponent since his 2nd pro fight...

He should've fought someone like Nathan Gorman or Chris Areola. Its pointless fighting Kash Ali, it'll do nothing for him and there's always the possibility Ali gets through with some decent shots (he shouldn't be) which wont be a good look to the public's eyes.

Do you honestly think Gorman would be more of a test? I highly doubt it. He's the poor man's Hughie Fury who is the poor man's Tyson Fury. Sure Kash Ali isn't a very good opponent either but they want to see what Joe has left. If he can't deal with Kash in destructive fashion, there's really no point in Joe continuing his career at his age. If he blows him away, they can secure a better opponent for the spring.

Well he hasn’t fought there much since getting his own statue so you might be right they might rebel against him .

Yeah, someone may spray paint Bronze Blunder over Bronze Bomber. Wilder was never the smartest guy in the world but since he took that psychedelic drug from Peru, it seems like he's sleep walking. I think it put him in a state of permanent relaxation which could explain his total lack of intensity or killer instinct in the ring. I don't think he cares much about knocking people unconscious anymore.

I was just randomly thinking about Kash Ali and that farce of a fight with David Price. I didn't realize Kash was still active, man that's a pretty soft touch for the Juggernaut.

I have to imagine they are looking to get him a few real easy wins before stepping up one more time for a cash out fight (and they have no confidence in him against anything that will remotely provide a challenge).

Are you saying the Jugger-"naught" might Kash-out??

[richardt]

Isn't this Kash guy the guy who bit Price and basically got away with it and now gets a payday?

I just want JJ to get on that Saudi Gravy Train at least once.

I don't begrudge him this.

Gorman fought well against Dubois and rocked him a few times before getting KO'd and he hurt Fabio wardley quite badly - busting his nose in the process before eventually getting decked. It would've obviously have been a fight Joyce would've expected to have won but Gorman is a big man with decent accuracy whose game for a scrap. Kash ali has not mixed it at that sort of level to warrant the fight. when he had his chance he performed awfully and got himself DQ'd because he was out of his depth.

Hughie Fury is a fringe top 20 guy. Gorman is middle of the pack domestic fighter. He is going to crush Ali.

But this will boost his morale like AJ and then onto another loss
Gorman would be wayyyyyy better

I agree Gorman would be way better. Get in decent shape & let his hands go…
