Comments Thread For: Tony Yoka-Christian Hammer Set, November 27 in Nantes, France

[Rick Taylor]

I'm glad that Christian can still make some money from Boxing after Tyson Fury robbed him of his big chance to face Wladimir Klitschko and the biggest purse of his life, no doubt.

I remember when Tyson Phooey robbed Hammer in 2015 in a WBA-WBO title eliminator by juicing up like the Hulk and trying to use tampered-gloves before referee Marcus McDonnell -- if drugs was not bad enough.

I find hope that if Tony Yoka gets caught doping, that the French Boxing Federation will maintain its integrity, unlike the BBBofC. The French Boxing Federation, actually suspended their gold-medalist Tony Yoka for failing to provide a urine sample.

If Tyson Phooey had been a Frenchman, he would of never been able to take the short-cuts that got him to a championship title fight.

fury is a coward and a cheat

I'm liking this one, Hammer's a tough dude and this should be a decent test or at least tell us some more about Tony... mind you, I said the same about Duhaupas too.

Tyson Phooey should give Christian Hammer a rematch, but Tyson would probably cheat him in the second fight like he did fat John McDermott. So the Gypsy-Bum's record should read a loss to John McDermott I, and a no-contest vs. Christian Hammer.

Yep, Tyson Phooey’s record should actually be

27-3-1NC

Should’ve lost to McDermott, Disqualified for Cunningham and ruled knocked out by Wilder in first fight and the No a Contest for the Hammer fight where he was caught with steroids in his system!

Yoka is doing fine. he will beat all gatekeepers.

Absolutely, Steve Cunningham was cheated. Tyson, should of been DQ, considering that he disregarded the point deduction in the fifth round by the late Eddie Cotton.

He's missed several drug tests not just one and good he got suspended unlike Parker and the Charlos in the States missing tests, Fury should have been an American then they don't seem to care about missed tests there.

Nearly forgot about the Marcellos Wilder failed test cover up presumably he was going to implicate his doping brother.

Yoka beat a very decent journeyman Duhaupas in one round. Duhaupas was tough sometimes, he has wins over Helenius and Charr. But I guess his chin is not there anymore.

Yoka.... Far surpassing the other prospects

People are sleeping on him IMO.

Very talented fighter.

... Joyce arguably beat Tony Yoka back in the 2016 Olympics final...

... but not his upper body movement, though...

... I also remember that the French anti-doping body banned him for one year...
