Pretty turgid stuff this sadly.

I think both guys have accepted Canelo is winning this by UD, don't blame the crowd for not enjoying this.

Canelo hasn’t done much more than the bare minimum either

GGG simply hasn’t thrown a thing so every round is Canelo’s with a few jabs & the odd hook

 

[Niall]

More proactive this from GGG, but it's way to late sadly. Canelo content to cruise understandably with so many rounds won.

 

[Niall]

Pretty one sided that , thankfully GGG has got paid and no brutal knockdowns.

Watched the other fights on the main card, not a great PPV whatsoever sadly.

Awful fight

GGG is finished as he couldn’t pull the trigger from the outset

Canelo knows that he can’t hurt him but didn’t need to either

 

[Niall]

Finally in the trilogy GGG gets some favorable judging

Only good thing about that fight is that I didn’t pay for it

The whole Joshua Fury thing is weird, I don't know why its all so rushed and why AJ must fight before the 3rd December and not wait a little longer?
I just don't think Fury is serious about this at all is ultimately looking for attention.

Don't mind it happening ....but before Xmas? Doubtful.

Hope the ladies boxing does not get cancelled due to Lizzie dying, really looking forward to Shields v Marshall despite the press conferences been so corny.

My lazy take was Shields wins keeps her distance and wins by points.

One possibility could be that Fury’s already been in camp for the last month and is hoping to catch a demoralised AJ before he’s really ready for another mega-fight.

But equally if not more likely that Fury’s just bull****ting to stay relevant and the whole thing will fall through.

I think he legite wants to fight AJ.

He is trying to find any reason not to fight Usyk.

If I was managing him I'd direct him to do the same thing.

Re: GGG

Something like 400 amateur fights wasn't it? And then some wars with the likes of Derevyanchenko, and Murata recently. Add in decades of sparring and yeah, if guys don't get brutally KOed they end up not being able to pull the trigger.

Should retire. Has made the $$$ now.

I will put big money on a draw in the Fury vs AJ fight.

So much money in a rematch and they'll both get to forget about Usyk.

Usyk is no fool and understands this hence why he's calling for Wilder so he can at least stay relevant.

Fury is simply doing what people with the power in boxing have been doing for a while

Usyk is a massive risk & almost certainly a much lesser financial reward than AJ

If Fury was ever going to fight AJ, now is the time

 

[social]

Usyk smokes Wilder btw

Joyce beat up Parker

Definitely more to him than meets the eye

 

[Niall]

Yeah I'm probably one of those people who don't give Joyce enough credit because his style can be crude, but that was domination of a game Parker.

Not sure what is next for both, Joyce deserves a money fight,,,dunno about Parker hopefully a long break tbh.

 

[hendrix]

Definitely got that one wrong haha. Joyce is a monster. Insane engine, excellent jab.

A bit Foreman-esque.

 

[Niall]

So who can Joyce beat as its obvious he will want a big name next.

He'd be a nightmare for Joshua next and would probably win against him, I don't see him beating Usyk......he v Fury would be interesting but a 100% Fury would probably beat him......Wilder dunno,,,if Wilder connects then oh boy but Joyce has an insane chin so its feasible he could survive some bombs and then it would be good night for DW.

Hopefully no "stay busy" fight nexy ,,,he is 27 after all!

 

[Bahnz]

**** Joyce has a chin. Walked through some big punches like they were nothing. Some of his punches look awful, but as Napoleon said: quantity has a quality all of its own. Fair play to him, nobody’s done that to Parker. Deserves a title shot at some point.

For Joe, showed a lot of fight, but just didn’t have the power needed to make Joyce back off. Not sure where he goes now.

I think AJ and Wilder have enough power to KO him early, and they would deal with him the easiest of the top heavyweights.

It's actually a tough fight for Usyk and Fury even. It's one thing going 5 rounds with him, going 12 is very difficult if you don't have that truly elite power.

 

[Bahnz]

Wilder certainly does. Joshua maybe, but I reckon Joyce has a better chance against him than the rest of the big 4. Usyk too much movement for Joyce’s slow punches, Fury’s footwork and size would be too much, and Wilder would probably KO him in 4 rounds. Joshua probably wins too, Joyce is very hittable and looked vulnerable to the uppercut several times in that fight, but that chin is something else. If the fight went past 7 rounds I’d definitely favour him to win.
