Joe Joyce vs. Zhang Zhilei | BT Sport - 15 April 2023

[Cyclops]

obviously he's getting the numbers in ...............why stoop so low though? it just makes his highlight reel LOL because all you'll see is an obvious flop from a midget butterball. they actually flew that guy in for that!

Isn’t he like 19?

They ain’t in no rush.

You might have been able to get away with this approach a few years ago, or with an unknown prospect, but Moses has been given a lot of hype and co-headlined on his debut. His record building will not fly under the radar. Every fight is being broadcast live and will be on YouTube for every one to see.

It doesn’t matter if the fights are one sided so much but if every opponent is going to fling themselves on the deck at the first opportunity it isn’t a great look

Purses should be withheld if these lads don’t at least give him a little bit of resistance.

[gregregegg]

Fair, he does need to step up a tiny bit. And frank needs to offer people x dollars for fighting and 2x dollars for kinda trying…

Needs some d grade washingtons not d grad dinus

[maverick23]

no sh!t

at least they've already built him a 20 second highlight reel of phantom punch knockouts. the stumpy argie butterball was even giving a big bright smile as he lounged on the canvas

might be the most LOL start ive seen to a hot prospect's career. obviously he's got tons of time and doesn't need to be fast tracked, but there's no good reason to stoop so low. look at the talk about his fights......the vast majority is about how embarassing they were, not about how good moses is. if you show ppl the highlights you'll get some good chuckles.

I think fighters may actually regress with this kind of matchmaking.

[jameswilson]

I’ve no problem with Itauma’s next fights being against Phil Williams and the other heavyweight journeymen.

Let’s have those low down the card tho please.

I’ll also comment I think Itauma looks pretty soft in his physique. Stand by a few ‘shoulder surgeries’ to get him looking like a genetic freak.

[Cyclops]

Could the argument be made that Joyce is the Last Man Standing' of the 'Great British Heavyweight era'?

Fury and Joshua have been badly exposed by Usyk as mentally fragile, entitled and spoilt. Both seemed to have reached their respective pinnacle and neither is the fighter we hoped they might show themselves to be. We can fully judge them when their careers are definitely over, but for the moment, they're both embarrassments. Joshua is getting little support this weekend and Fury will struggle just the same from now on. They'll probably fight each other, but it'll be very hollow me, personally. Which one is less of a c*nt? Which one do I despise the least? Two tossers.

The other Brits... Whyte chinned multiple times, Chisora smashed to bits, Dubois exposed, Price retired, Hughie never was, Gorman already forgotten. Fabio Wardley and Frazier Clarke look European level at best. Itauma is a baby and in against opposition so soft anyone over 15 stone and boxing in a gym could probably pick up a pay check it seems.

Joyce is unbeaten, hungry, big, tough, extremely violent in the ring and, although a bit cringe at times, isn't a massive f*cking self-absorbed dickhead. This is his run now. I hope he gets through Zhang and finally gets to pick up a world title. It would be great to see him as a champion. I'd love to see him beat Fury.

[gregregegg]

Moses Itauma is on this card in what appears to be a huge step up. Not like the easy knock overs he has had.

I wont pretend to remember Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenkos ability or how he fights... But 31, never been stopped,

-gone 6/6 with Zhan Kossobutskiy
-10/10 with Rudenko
-10/10 and won some rounds vs Sirenko
-8/8 with Jose Larduet
-8/8 with Oleksandr Zakhozhyi

Few other decent "gone the distances"...

[margaret thatcher]

that looks much better for moses, a bit like a ukrainan soko, doesn't quite get the upsets soko does, but goes the rounds and often wins several of them vs prospects

unlikely to be another embarrassing 20 second phantom flop job

[si7dog7]

Yeah. A proper villain is Joe

[gregregegg]

I was ready to defend joe on some pretty vile and racist comments, but I can’t defend this.

[KiwiRider]

Outrageous!
Joe should go back to letting his chin do the talking

[emallini]

If you have Twitter you are literally retarded. Lowest of the low, absolutely clueless every single person on there.

[Nightmare Roy]

I really like Joe, hope he gets a big money fight and gets out, not sounding great IMO. Imagine with his style, granite whiskers and long amateur career he's taken too much punishment.

That is taking distasteful into uncharted waters.

If you think he's slurring his speech and looking half awake, it's because he's wankered in this interview.

Totally rat-arsed.
