Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce And Derek Chisora Meet At The O2 In July

When will they stop pushing Chisora the punching bag? I get it, they want gatekeepers but I have zero interest in watching him fight.

I'm totally with you on that one. Unfortunately it will probably take Chisora dying in the ring or having suffered a serious mental or physical trauma for him to no longer get fights against relevant names. Poor Derek needs to be saved from himself but no one seems to care. I know he's stubborn and hard to reason with but his family should be doing whatever they can to keep him out of the ring.

Yeah, i think Joyce has a better resume than Kabayel, Parker and Dubois are better wins than Sanchez and Makhmudov, but I agree, Kabayel smokes him, because Joyce would block uppercuts with his face until he crushes.

I still can`t believe Parker actually lost to Joyce.

Joe's resistance hadn't been broken yet. He was able to land his big shots because Parker got tired from using Joyce as a punching bag. After that fight, Joyce wasn't the same. He's like Wilder after the Fury fights now with limited boxing skills, relying on power which he can no longer land because he's been exposed and damaged.

Joe gets smoked by Kabayel, he's too easy to hit. I'm not a fan of Chisora fighting anybody half decent at this point in his career but Agit would be a step too far for Joyce. If he can't show a little more defense, or start quicker and KO his opponents in the first 3 or 4 rounds, he has no chance against the top 10.

JJ hasn't beaten as many, if not more prospects than Kabayel. He'll Dubois is better than anyone Agit has beaten. I think it'd be a good fight while it lasted

Two slow, plodding, old heavies, that block punches with their face, and both are on the slow downhill grade.
Man you Brits will get behind anything.

how dare they watch sport for entertainment!

I like watching Chisora. but these guys are gonna keep putting him in with these guys and get him really hurt. didn't sound good the other day when I seen him on that Saudi card. way of the world I guess..

Love me some Del Boy, but he really looked faded against Washington, definitely think all the wars have caught up to him, but he'll get one more. Joyce will really wear him down for a lot of punishment imo, but I also think Chisora will get his pound of flesh in this one. Don't think Chisora hits hard enough to take Joyce out, but he can definitely find that chin easily with his overhand rights and I bet this is another fight that will take a lot out of Joyce, while probably taking everything out of Chisora.

Is Chisora poor or something? I'll never understand why boxers beat themselves into brain damage.

Boxing is like drug, being fight fit is better then drugs and boxing is a fun sport to do too

Love both these guys. I'll watch, and I'll probably enjoy it.

But it's a pointless fight. Apart from the fact that people will enjoy it.

I'm surprised this is all that Joyce can get. Let's not forget plenty had him in the top 3/4 before Zhang. Amazing how his and Parker's careers have gone since their fight.

Presume this means it's all over for Joe. Maybe even both retire afterwards.
