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.Comment

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.Last edited by billeau2; 07-27-2024, 06:38 PM.Comment

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 eraComment

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.Comment
