Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce-Derek Chisora: It was the best of boxing, it was the worst of boxing

[Butt stuff]

It's real sad that there are people thinking this. Imagine how long it would take either of these shopworn warriors to dispense with Jake or even the guy who beat Jake, Tommy TNT Fury.

I think a lot of newer fans haven't yet realized that there are levels to this sport.

You’d expect a top 15 heavyweight to beat a novice light heavyweight, barely in the top 100.

I think the main point of the article is that whilst both these guys can operate around the top level, they’re both renowned for being able to soak up punishment. But these days they’re taking more damage than they used to, and are not reacting well to the damage they’re taking. It’s almost as if they’re waiting to be forced out of the sport with a horrific beating.

this fight in a way reminds me of the Etienne vs Clay Bay fight........

Not sad because it's not true. Both of them would hammer him like a tent peg.

How sad for boxing when Jake Paul would KO both of those cats…

Anyone that continues to encourage either man to fight, simply for entertainment, or short term gain, does not give a S%% about the long term health of these two warriors. Neither should be fighting at all, it makes no sense at all based on their last three fights.

Couldn't you apply that same logic to most boxers, other than the few anomalies that manage to fight without taking much damage? At least they are making real money, 99% of them are making jack diddly and can't even retire on it.

may not make sense to you or others but it makes money for those two guys. both will get two more pay days and that will be the extent of any good pays from here on out.

Cannot believe that some writers are comparing this to the Thrilla in Manila. Fun fight between two limited contenders but come on now.

I was most certainly entertained. That knockdown had me doing a fist pump just about the time I thought Chisora was about to collapse.

Chances are if his had had not felt the resistance of Joyce's chin... he would have.
