85 dollars and GGG isnt at his peak and Canelo is coming off a loss. 

It wasnt a fight that inspired me to be honest 

No me neither. 

First two were decent, apart from the scoring, but this one was poor. 

GGG looked his age and Canelo wasn't exactly scintillating but won pretty comfortably. 

Always amazes me how many people pay the crazy PPV fees in the US. 

I guess if you have a few mates round and split the cost it wouldn't be so bad but still it's a load of dosh especially if the undercard is uninspiring as they often are.

i think Parker's experience sees him home on points

 

big test for Joyce - be great if he won

[muleskinner]

It's barely sold a ticket despite being PPV. Arena has been rejigged a few times already. 

[muleskinner]

Shakur Stevenson just lost his belts on the scales. Still fights, last time at lightweight. (Or just the 1.6lbs over)

[Bigal]

I am not buying the PPV.

its one of them though, I am convinced Joyce is s***, but, he keeps winning

I always keep going back to what Adam Booth said a few years ago - he is very hard to match and nobody calls him out. 

He's sparred nearly every heavyweight out there, they all know what he can do. 

[muleskinner]

Joyce - 271lbs

Parker - 255lbs

Career highest for both, Joyce looks in better nick, Parker a bit fleshy.

He gets hit so often though. 

Like Homer Simpson

there is zero head movement

I know, he's been tagged hard but rarely wobbled, it's a scary chin. Keeps marching forward with that hammer of a jab. His toughest fight so far, as it should be.

Going for a Parker on points win. Split decision.  Bit of a bore fest…

16/1 seemed like a decent price

[Cobs]

Fair play to Joyce. 
Title shot next?

[melia]

Impressive performance and win from Joyce. Relentless coming forward, a great jab and a rock solid jaw. I can’t imagine many would want to fight him.

[crisps]

Well My prediction was terrible!

Hopefully he can get a couple of top 3 or 4 ranking fights next. At 37 he can’t really afford to be fighting chisoras whytes etc with 6 month build ups etc. 

[muleskinner]

Cracking fight, Joyce is a nightmare for anybody. Love a big one shot finish like that.

22/1 Joyce 11th round. Lovely stuff. My first decent win in ages.

skills Muley

 good performance that from Joyce

I’ve never seen a boxer that can take shots like that; must be disheartening for his opponent 

but he looked improved in all other areas I thought

who next though? surely they should be screaming at Warren, if AJ dicks you around we’ll step up

Fury said as much before the fight: if they don’t sort it out next week he’ll find another opponent but he’s defo fighting someone on that date

Chisora still trying to get a payday 

 

[Tommok]

Chisora vs Fury would be a massive let down from Fury vs AJ. 

Be interesting to see if Joyce can get himself in the mix for the big fights now. I can't see many wanting to fight him but they might be tempted by the fact he is still quite hittable. He'd have to accept a pretty low split of the purse you'd think too. 

[Cobs]

This lad looks like he’s been in a scrap

Chisora was offered the fight in the first place.

But, he will fight Charr.

Conor Benn has pissed hot apparently ahead of Saturday night. I'm shocked.

Fertility drug haha. Testosterone booster.
