I fancy old boy del to zangh JJ

I have a funny feeling about it too - the way Joyce crumbled in the second fight with Zhang, suggested to me that his punch resistance might have been permanently damaged.

Chisora by contrast, whilst slower, and less energetic, still seems quite durable, it could be a really ugly fight, with Chisora wading in eating shots for quite a few rounds, and then landing a big looping shot that flattens Joyce.

Joyce should jack it in, he's really go nowhere to go now. He's likely to take a lot of beatings now at this stage of proceedings.

TBH i feel Chisora should have packed in a while back and this would clear the way for the young guns comin thru but he is a greedy bugger and wont give it up .

I dont care much for the fight but of course will watch it

Beating Chisora now proves absolutely nothing. I wish Chisora would go away.

What is a better fight for the pair of them?

For Joyce: chis is as big a name as he can expect right now.

For chiz: Joyce is as good a guy that he is a chance at beating right now.

I think Whyte is a better fight for both, his name to ability ratio is off the charts right now I suspect. But outside of that and retirement (a good option for both) I feel this is as good a matchup as possible. Winner is feezable for another big fight. Loser retires.

Now, Mabey both should retire. But that’s about it.

Hope I'm wrong and he gives Chisora a fight .
What the hell Chisora is still fighting for is anyone's guess , he's payed his dues to the game and should get out with faculties intact.

chinarich wrote: ↑27 May 2024, 05:48 Joyce has nothing to gain from this fight. If he wins then everyone will say Chisora is well past it and should hang ‘em up, and if he loses then he has absolutely nowhere to go. For Chisora, if he continues to look durable in taking a one-sided loss he’ll continue to get similar opportunities, but if he wins he pushes himself up in the rankings a bit and can maybe get a bigger fight next time out.

I think that Joyce’s punch resistance has gone and Chisora will get a stoppage here late in the fight.

rhino222 wrote: ↑27 May 2024, 09:10 the question is.....

would Chisora and Joyce both take care of Wardley and Big Fraze? Not an easy question to answer is it.

I dont think so. Therefore this fight is barely or is round about British title level.

The public are being sold a sports car with a fiat panda engine.

It's a good fight for Chisora, because if he wins it's a nice notch on his belt and, once Usyk gets inevtiably stripped of a title, whichever bum wins the vacant belt would love an easy but credible defence against him.

It does nothing for Joyce though. Everyone and their mums has beat Chisora. So what?

If it goes well he will be ready for a bigger job

I think Del Boy just likes fighting!
