I think that's how people from that part of the world are - they don't go over the top regarding these kind of things - for someone from around there - he looked happy enough.KiwiRider wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 17:14He wasn't jumping up and down was he?

Maybe we read people differently.
His only selling point was he seemed impervious to pain and had a good engine so could walk forward throwing punches until the other guy wilted. But he is panifully slow, seems incapable of dodging anything and his rock solid chin doesn’t seem rock solid anymore. He seriously needs to rethink carrying on!
He was bad. I kept thinking of the Joe who fought Dubois, using that jab. Where was that Joe on Saturday night? His accuracy and speed were obviously never great, but against Chisora it was like he had eyesight problems. And pawing through treacle rather than punching. I don't want to see Joe get hit flush anymore. time to retire.Controversial wrote: ↑29 Jul 2024, 05:32His only selling point was he seemed impervious to pain and had a good engine so could walk forward throwing punches until the other guy wilted.

The man doesn't know how to quit... 
Would you expect him to do that? If so Why?KiwiRider wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 17:14He wasn't jumping up and down was he?

Anyone know what their purses were for this fight?
he did look absolutely shattered. He came back so many times in that fight.Controversial wrote: ↑29 Jul 2024, 13:27 Just been watching a few of the after fight clips of Chisora, he looks absolutely fooked, looked a bit concussed as well as seemed to not be with it, hardly surprising really

Might seem foolhardy and his management won't allow it but I think Moses would come on leaps and bounds from fighting Joyce now. I think he probably beats him too.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑29 Jul 2024, 16:41 bit of both. wach well past it but still a stylish finish. seriously needs some rounds before being pushed much up the levels though.
I usually only skim over punch stats as it does not say the full picture. However, this shows how much Chisora was gassing. His punch output was very low (by his standards) in the last half of the fight.
The % landed says it all. Joyce's defence was once again what let him down. Chisora's shots were going straight through his guard to his stationary head.
