Heavyweight Boxing

That was a good scrap and the atmosphere was very good for Chisora having his last fight at the 02

I'm embarrassed for Joe Joyce. Top ten heavyweight made look very amateur tonight.

It's all over for Joyce. Zhang really took everything out of him. Still as an amateur and pro he's reached levels very few ever do.

mad Chisora was 4/1 for the win

Chisora vs Whyte 3 in Manchester nailed on I reckon.

joyce can’t box like he used to, his jab was non existent and he used to have a good heavy jab as we saw with dubois it win him the fight really

December in Manchester first , his aim was always 50 apparently

I'd agree scoring seemed very wide to me was expecting chisora to shade it maybe a split decision.

He was exhausted from the second round and running away in parts of the last few rounds if joyce had any composure surely he was there to be taken out, Joe is finished too

You’re always full of excuses for Joe!! He was just never that good.

Joyce fought an incredibly dumb fight, he just needed to use the jab and he would have been fine, but just kept walking into Chisora and got picked off. Joyce is a gent compared to Chisora but no sympathy for fighters who fight so stupidly .

How do we know the type a job Lee did with Parker? He beat a woeful and washed up Wilder, and scraped over the line v Zhang, who had he had a bit a decent stamina would have knocked Parker out.

Parker gets hammered by Fury, AJ and Usyk. And nothing Lee has done changes that.

Where was Lee when Joyce was pummeling Parker?

Joyce is done.. Lee would do eff all to change that

how can we be sure the weight loss was the reason joyce lost to Zhang in the first fight, could have been the southpaw caught him off guard or he just sparked him out with a haymaker, could have also been his chin was gone to wear and tear and he’s just goosed

The unpredictability if the sport at this weight is what makes it so appealing I think

It definitely could be suspect coaching/poor advisors but at the end of the day Joyce is his own man how it didn't occur to him to fight Chisora behind his jab is beyond me and I agree it was a close fight too.

In my opinion Joyce himself and his team underestimated Chisora. I feel they believed it was a matter of walking him down and eventually get the highlight reel KO in the mid RDS on an exhausted Chisora. Job done the juggernaut is back.

When Chisora kept coming the plan fell apart because suddenly Joyce's lack of defensive prowess was put squarely in the spotlight. He had been coughing up rds by getting consistently caught flush and suddenly there's score cards looming.

vs Zhang his lack of defence crucified him too. Maybe the weight thing was a we'll be fit and tire Zhang out move which tbf is a solid plan. It didn't work but again that's down to his defence.

So look in hindsight sure it would have been beneficial if he could have bossed the clinch but Zhang was landing heavy leather from range too.

Ya just can't be taking flush shots regularly from the likes of Zhang and unfortunately for Joyce he's always been too reliant on his chin bailing him out.

And as we've seen that only works for so long no matter how tough you are.
