Tony Yoka debut fight

[Pandur]

Im not that super impressed with his performance, but it was his first fight.
He got his a little bit too much and looked s little sloppy. But even though he has a great trainer in Virgil Hunter. So I think and hope he can be the future top guy in the heavyweight division in some years.

Oh and by the way, he has the whole country of France behind him, just like Joshua has with the United Kingdom.
That can help him tremendously by becoming a star.

Oh and lastly, he is a heavyweight and he does speaks english which is a great thing for promoting yourself.

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.

that fat little pudding was 12-0? seriously?

that fat little pudding was 12-0? seriously?

Yeah he really was. But those guys he beat was nothing special really.

No worthy opponent on his resume.
But still cool and guy with a record of 0-0 beats a guy who was 12-0.

But okay Tony has to Olympic gold medals. One in the youth and the other at the summer Olympics.

records can be very misleading, that guy is basically the equivalent of a 8-18 kind of guy.

Still, i guess its better than fighting another 1-3 guy which is what other promoters do.

I still think he needs to be managed very carefully, i thought he was lucky to get the decision over Joe joyce and i suspect he is packing glass.

Hope he proves me wrong and get's to the top of the division in the coming years.

Yeah his defense did not look great. But it was his first pro fight. So I will not be to critical of him.
Also better to beat an guy with and undefeated record than somebody with a losing record.

These are my favourite pair of french boxers

Wonder if him and Joyce will be set up to meet again in the next few years.

Great to see that Yoka already has a huge backing, that crowd was really eating it up. Props to his camp for putting him in with an undefeated guy that would at least come to fight. That dude might have passed Gonzalo Basile for the most tatted up dude in boxing. Yoka fighting guys like Leonet, Arrami and Aurieng for the French title soon would make sense

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

It's his first pro fight and you're matching him up with world champions? he still needs to adapt his style to the pro game ffs
