Comments Thread For: Derek Chisora does it his way, wins war with Joe Joyce

[Sammy7861992]

Let's see Joyce vs fury after usyks beats fury again, I like that fight , Joyce is a very good pressure fighter , he should just about people who can knock U with one punch power , I think he breaks fury down, tough sob

I've said it after some other Chisora epics but I'll say it again here, Chisora isn't going to the boxing HOF at any point, but he will be remembered forever as a true blood and guts warrior that always came to give the fans their money's worth. He won't go to Canastota, but he will end up in boxing Valhalla

IDK enough about the HOF, so correct me. Chisora wouldn't be a first ballot HOFer, but doesn't 2nd or 3rd ballot exist?

Joyce’s bone density didn’t save him…

I didn't think that Chisora won , but then I wasn't scoring it. A really fun fight , plenty of action. If they're both going to keep boxing , they should run it back. It will definitely sell. The only thing is that it looked really weird and took some getting used to because they were both so slow. I felt like the video was lagging but it wasn't, they really are that slow. Bizarrely slow.

I don't think it's a ballot, per se. Anyone that has been retired 3 years can make it in if picked by the boxing writers association, but dudes like Chisora don't make it in in this era, it's reserved for only the highest level champs for the most part. For as much as I love Chisora, I would agree he shouldn't sniff the HOF, unless they created some separate spot for pure warriors or something. Dereck is much more Mickey Ward than Arturo Gatti, but pure boxing fans will not forget him and I'd imagine he'll be seen as a hero and man of the people in Great Britain until the end of his days

Idk how anyone thought Joyce was even close to winning. Maybe three rounds at best is being gracious. Joyce has gotten significantly worse, and I don’t think the weight helped him one bit. I also think at Joyce’s age, we don’t see the 80 punches per round anymore. He’ll be a good gatekeeper though for prospects at this stage.

Joyce definitely needs to call it a day now. He will get badly hurt if he carries on. It would be brilliant iff Derek decided to retire on a win but I can't see that happening.

I agree 100%. Joyce is done. He had a decent career with a once solid chin but he was always slow as a sloth.

Chisora earned one more payday with this win but hopefully it's his last. All fighters fade and Derek is slipping with every fight!

Oh man, I hadn't thought of that one, that's actually interesting lol. I could see Dereck's last fight being Wilder in Saudi, Lord help us

It's a winnable fight for both. A sharp Wilder could probably land the same counters as Joyce, but Chisora is a stubborn bastard.

The only thing Chisora is missing...is a world title victory. That's what makes him Micky instead of Arturo.

I am assuming most of the comments here are from the UK fight fans. I watched it and thought both of them were slow, sloppy with no defense whatsoever. Ugly fight. If Joyce was ever a contender, those days are finished. I think Zhang took it all out of him.

No one thought they were top contenders, but it was good entertaining fight none the less.
