    The loser of Dubois v Joyce would be a good next fight if he does indeed want to fast track his career.

    These two seem to really like each other. Big, long mutual cuddling every time one of them connects. Yoka seemingly voluntarily on his knees a few times.

    They could have brought in a referee bigger than Frank/Kellie Maloney for this fight

    I see as there being two different brackets of Euro level, a higher and lower.

    I consider guys such as Chisora, Takam, and Helenius to be higher. The sort of guys that get into the top 20ish in the world.

    Whilst I would put Hammer with the likes of Wach, Ustinov, Dimitrenko Spzilka and Price in the lower Euro level.

    I seen quite a few posts with guys who think is as good as the higher Euro guys I mentioned and I just disagree with that.

    Imagine what hammer would have done to Allen!

    Something tells me Yoka likes competing at this level, I'm not sure he'd be keen to make a genuine step up, nor am I sure it would be that wise...

    Well, that was a stinker. Even the referee forgot he was on duty at times, so far out of shot that you'd think he had ****ed off to the loo.

    A decent test for 9th opponent but Yoka does not look like a future World Champion based on those 10 rounds.

    La Defence was not great and he looks more like Joe Parker than Joe Frazier.

    I suppose it depends on definitions. Chisora and Takam have been around contender level for most of their careers I’d say. Hammer is certainly a step below those guys, I agree. I wouldn’t have included Helenius with them but you have to now with his win over Kownacki.

    So yeah, I agree with who you bracket together. But just the wording we disagree on.

    He kept falling off his stilts and could not see what was happening above

    Joe C0cker is more like it. The other two are in a different solar system to this plonker. He's quite poor. He gets away with a lot due to his length.

    I dunno I think he wanted the rounds, he didn't throw a great deal but what he did was accurate looked a counter punching performance, from a heavyweight contender you want him to be like Joshua and crush a hammer in a few rounds. Let's see him step up against a top 10 man
