Watched yesterday and was pretty impressed with Joe. Seemed almost a different fighter vs what he’s done in recent times. Still have doubts that he really has the punching power (Chisora can sure take a punch though) but could this be Joes second coming? Age wise he’s probably near his prime now. Has a chance to kick on here so hope he can continue to advance his career.
Saw Nkiyas fight too. He looked pretty good but other guys was mud and took a battering in that first round. Wasn’t surprised when he didn’t come back out

Very impressed with Joe today , chisora is a very tough man ,
Joe Planted his feet and let his hands go with bad intentions and we haven’t seen that for some time .
Andy Lee has worked wonders with him , tactically and with his confidence, looks a different fighter , well done
Does he really though ? Like I said earlier I do love Joe but we’ve heard this a few times before lets be honest.
100 per cent he looked different , his range of punches , had an aggressive attitude we havnt seen since the days when he was knocking over nobodies , it was like when the quality of fighters went up , Barry pulled in the reigns and became scared of losing ,
ive been his biggest critic , i wanted him to do so well because he is a kiwi but found it so frustrating trying to work out what the hell they were trying to achieve ,
Andy has given him a new lease of life , not making any wild predictions , far from it , but win lose or draw , its going to be more enjoyable supporting him now , looks like they will have a red hot crack
kronk style .and wont die wondering , -
Tyson Has done Joe a Massive favour introducing him to his cousin , seems like they are good for each other

Fury invites Wilder over to his Florida home with rival considering retirement
TYSON FURY has invited Deontay Wilder to his ‘huge’ Florida home with his old rival’s future up in the air. It comes after the Bronze Bomber revealed he is contemplating retiremen…
Interesting article and how it mentions the trilogy may have taken years off their lives. I’m a huge fan of both fighters and what they’ve brought to the sport.
Ali had trilogies with Frazier and Norton and they died at 74, 67 and 70 respectively.
As for Fury and Wilder I can imagine them actually getting on brilliantly under all the bullshit and bravado. They need to watch more TV though, FOURTEEN kids between them !!!!!!

I didn’t em see either events but sounds like the aus boxing events that’s as on over the last two nights was an embarrassment. I’ve only seen “highlights” on Gallens fight which was last night
i don't know why these idiots keep getting in the ring with Gallen. He can actually fight, he gets better every fight, and these novices get in and get their clock cleaned. Does it pay them that well?

He took it to Gallen very early on in the fight though. Definitely not a novice.

@mikethesnow I take it you're talking about the Taylor v Catterall farce? Couldn't believe what I was seeing after Taylor got the nod and felt awful for Catterall afterwards. Bob Arum paying off the judges.

Yep, highlights above
Absolute disgrace

@mikethesnow Just watched that video. Disgraceful. Boxing is a joke of a sport.

All this talk makes me want to look back on when the sport was awesome.
How the fuck Holmes a) got up from this ( one of the most amazing one punch knock downs I’ve ever seen ) and b) WON the fight by KO is anyone’s guess !!!!
Fuck he was a hell of a fighter.

Entertainingif pointless what if Tyson had fought in the golden age of 60-70's.
No real surprises here

I love shit like this……how do I read parts two and three ?
I notice Tyson managed to avoid Cleveland Williams ( which I think would have gone either way ) and Sonny Liston ( who I’m 100% positive would destroy Tyson ) in this mythical march to the title……
For what it’s worth and from what I’ve read I think Foreman, Frazier, Ali and a very young Larry Holmes would beat Tyson ( forget the fact they actually did fight, Holmes was washed up, fat, untrained and old by then )
Others like Ken Norton, Earnie Shavers and Ron Lyle would fancy their chances as well. I can’t wait til @raznomore sees this thread.
