Tony Yoka debut fight

[SN!PER]

Full fight of the French heavyweight for anyone who missed it.

Not bad to take a man who was 12-0 for a first fight.

That Ali shuffle was a bit too mcuh lol

He was too patient imo, he has power he kO'ed an undeafeated fighter, but patience like that will get you KO'ed against Wilder and Joshua

But why? I would argue that IMPATIENCE would get him KO'd against those guys. By going for it early, he would leave himself open to all kinds of stuff coming back. He can be impatient with the type of dudes he's meeting now, but not the top guys.

There's a fine balance there though isn't there. If you're too patient you give guys the chance to recover and blast you out (like Joshua did to Klitschko) but if you're too impatient you'll either leave yourself wide open or just punch yourself out (also like Joshua did with Klitschko).

Would have liked to have seen far more combinations there in that fight personally... for the most part it seemed quite robotic.

You gotta a point but standing still and feinting will get you ko'ed against the very aggressive Wilder and Joshua

I liked the shuffle, we need more personalities in boxing

[Pandur]

For his first fight in his pro debut against a guy who was 12-0, and he blasted him within two rounds, I say it was a pretty good pro debut.

[Tom Cruise]

looked decent, but similar to Joshua's debut (vs a 7-0 guy) I have no idea from watching him how he got that record.

Actually i do, they were fighting goat herders and taxi drivers.

Still. Decent enough Debut from Yoka. Good to see a big crowd. The French boxing scene used to be one of the biggest in Europe. Could this be the dawn of a resurgence? I hope so.
