[candyslim]

Excellent fight. I fancy Kossobutsky because of his amateur pedigree (not that Joey is in any way deficient in that department) and the fact he is on his way up.

Joey will give him a tough time though as does to everybody. Good to see ZK showing such ambition relative to other "mature prospects".

[margaret thatcher]

im not sure joey is that ambitious of an opponent tbh, he lost every round to sanchez, fedosov, and almost every round to jennings. hasnt really had a notable upset in years and years

joey has said before that he doesnt really get the chance to train properly

his niche is being close to unstoppable at this level, not being some really risky upsetter

[candyslim]

Stop nit-picking Mags. Joey is a fine opponent compared to those that most other guys in ZK's situation are facing, mind you when you see what happened to Majidov you can perhaps understand why many would prefer to have a tailor's dummy in the opposite corner.

[margaret thatcher]

never said he wasnt fine, just don't think it's an 'ambitious' choice...joey gives dem rounds but i dont forsee a close fight

my prediction: zk wins something like 100-90, 99-91, etc

[margaret thatcher]

btw zk is a fave of mine ever since icing that fake wannabe klitschko dude

I fancy Zhan even though I know little about him, but mainly because Joey is unfortunately a fat greedy waste of talent

Kamil Sokołowski said that Kosobucki is the best he's ever faced.

That's harsh. I like Joey he'll fight anyone and he'll give 'em trouble.

Everything is relative as they say. Who was the Klitschko wannabe, not Victor VYkhryst?

I agree. But let’s not pretend he wouldn’t do way bettwr if he trained harder and dropped some weight

[candyslim]

I have to be honest James, It was only relatively recently I became aware of Joey's history. As long as I'd known of him he was to me a tough pugnacious little warrior somewhere between top-class journeyman and fringe contender, with a height handicap..

In my eyes there was no well of talent, no unfulfilled potential to cause me to be disappointed in him. I just take him as I see him and I like what I see. I'm not saying you're wrong.

[margaret thatcher]

joey has said before he has full time job (roofing?) and because of that cant properly train for fights..........so its why i dont really expect much from him at this level other than just fighting to last the distance. he definitely has a good chin and that dont need much training!


he does have some talent though, he was a real good am and has some skills--its part of why hes so hard to stop, but his training is way below where it needs to be, and let's face it, he's probably like a lhw in shape

[candyslim]

I guess so. He's 5' 9" if memory serves. Not too many guys of that height are forced to compete at over 200lbs due to physical constraints. Of course it probably pays better even at gatekeeper level and doesn't require the same degree of dedication.

I can understand that. If I'd put myself out a bit more I could be further up the career ladder with more responsibility, recognition, and money. Yes and more dedication, accountability, longer hours, maybe evenings and weekends, less free time, less time with the family ... nah, bollocks to that. I'm with you Joey

[adislav123]

he's built like a brick shithouse no way he could compete at light heavy.

of course there's some wobble and he could go down to fvckin worthless bridgerweight but for what frikkin reason should he fvckin do that!

Full time job is a problem for pro boxer. But that is not a reason to be 40 or 50 pounds overweight. His boxing skill is real, toughness too, but he would have less losses with better conditioning
