This needs changing too imo. Obviously we want better undercards but main events should start at 9, surely, for a number of reasons - one of them being less time for the knuckledraggers to shovel two bags of coke up their snouts and have them all thinking they're ten men.

Some KO from Zhang last night. Joyce looked way too big/heavy, lumbering around like a big sack of spuds.

Be interested to see Zhang in with one of the top guys now. His power would surely be a problem for any of them.

[spud_gun]

Joyce was the perfect opponent for Zhang. As you said a big lumbering sack of spuds.

I don't think Zhang lays a glove on Usyk or Fury.

[RichC]

The one thing Joyce needed was to be more mobile so went in there even less mobile than before

Cracking shot from Zhang but can’t see him doing anything against the “elite” heavyweights

[Doc_Piptorious]

Zhang is 40 years of age so very much on his last rodeo at this point.

Usyk will no doubt face him if he is made a madatory, but Fury will do his usual shouts of "dosser" and some racial slurs whilst avoiding him or any other live opponent (though I think Fury stops Zhang, just that Fury seems to have no interest in fighting anyone even semi decent. Easier to shout about guys he has no intention of stepping into a ring with)

Fury is just after the money these days, he's expected to bank upwards of $50m from this fight

And fair enough if he is just a exhibition fight fighter these days if he can get tens of millions for it. If mugs want to shell out cash to watch joke fights, then he would be mad not to take advantage of them for as long as he can.


But he should be giving up his titles for actual boxing if all he wants to do is cash in on easy events.

Fury in China must be worth a few quid?

Who the **** is Jordan Thompson? The IBF are giving away title bouts.

[Zapater]

Genuine cab driver fighting for a world title there His feet were in the wrong place the whole time, you'd swear he's never seen a southpaw before.

[Zapater]

Canelo outpoints a guy who who came to pick up his pay cheque and is heralded better than ever. Boxing media in a sad state of denial. Not a knock on Canelo but this fight proves nothing and adds nothing to his legacy given Charlo didn't even fancy trying to win this one.

[calvoboy]

Deleted. Not even worth the debate - Fury/KSI/Paul nonsense...

[ChesterDave]

Disappointed Danis and Paul didn't both end up hospitalised. Two awful scammers pretending to be boxers
