Good fight
Zhang deserved winner -
Yeah I watched it live , Joyce is so destructive with his offence it’s easy to dismiss his defensive flaws .
He walks forward very square on with next to no lateral movement and just kept wearing zhangs left hand flush in the same spot . A 20 stone southpaw was probably the wrong fighter to fight in hindsight.
The interesting part zhang was potentially 2 rounds away from gassing out but Joyce’s eye was so fucked they had to stop it . Right choice .

Massive fight this week , tank Davies v ryan Garcia
Will have a massive ppv audience

Rumours keep circulating and not being dismissed from the promoters which suggests the Talks are real ,
Saudis are looking at putting on a huge heavyweight event in their brand new stadium in December , with fury v usyk and wilder v Joshua on the same night .

Awesome !
Will believe it when I see it though.
Fury in five.
Wilder in two.

Tank too good ,
For a fighter with one punch knockout power , he shows so much composure , patience and awareness

his KO rate is insane, and only about 61kgs, 5 and a half feet..

Celebrity boxing.. but here is the entire 10 seconds of Sam Tuitupou v Roy Asotasi
Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that ST is handy with the dukes. On the field I remember him having a swing at big lock Ben Kay and even bigger lock Johan Ackerman.
Some really nice power and lovely combo there to make light work of Asotasi.

Maybe 10 seconds but he was only standing for 6. That is an awesome amount of power considering he isn't fully using his weight and reach for most of those punches.

probably the most anticipated fight in the world of boxing( certainly in america ) looks like its finally happening,
Spence v Crawford july 29 , two undefeated greats , a true 50 50

@kiwiinmelb About bloody time. Should have happened years ago as is usually the case in boxing, but better late Tham never I suppose.

Yeah both still close enough to their prime , so I’m still pumped
I can’t pick this one , I go back and forward, maybe years ago I was leaning towards Spence due to being the more genuine welterweight, but the car accident has me a little bit uncertain if he is still the same ,
Best welterweight matchup since Leonard v lHearns

Ridiculously close and impossible to call and always so exciting when two undefeated fighters come face to face. Amazing that it’s happening too without some clause or other bullshit getting in the way.
It possibly speaks volumes that Joseph Parker knocked a journeyman out in the first round a few days back and it doesn’t even get a mention on here. I really wish he’d think of giving it up.

He has a top trainer and well known champion telling him he can get back to the top. Why would he pull the plug?

Blowing smoke up his arse. Parker is a fantastic guy and a very good boxer but he just doesn’t quite have the goods to trouble the absolute elite of the sport.

If every rugby player gave up because they weren't challenging the best in the world it would be left to the clubbies.
If he can make a good living without getting damaged why not?
