    "1 all innit?" - leave it alone, Juggernaut. You won in the amateurs twelve years ago. Save what surviving brain cells you have left and retire now.

    I mean whats left for Joyce? A quick knockout for wilder's "comeback trail". thats legit the only possible well paying opportunity for him left. Best to call it a day.

    Know he's losing sleep over fumbling the bag fighting Zhang and missing out on the major saudi money but its clearly over now.

    Don’t agree with the wide card, but the right man got the win there.

    Hrgovic edged it for me as he landed almost all the clean eye catching shots even though he clearly, as I suspected, wasn't in good shape and looked very sloppy. Big Joe outworked him in a bunch of those rounds but wasn't landing clean with much. He fought well but he looked just as sloppy and didn't land clean enough

    What did I say about the cuts reopening? That's why these billy goats are so despicable, because cuts can ruin careers.

    Never rated Abel Sanchez as a trainer and has been the case with every trainer Hrgovic has worked with has done nothing to work on correcting Hrgovic's glaring flaws. I said ages ago Hrgovic should hook up with Shane McGuigan who will actually rebuild him and work on correcting those flaws and England is way closer to Croatia

    Big Joe looked good enough that he can still feature in some good fights but he should really call it a day and save himself from even more brain abuse. Shame one of them had to lose

    Insane robbery. Hrgovic spent most rounds pouting in the corner.

    Yeah he can still clearly take a shot. All the talk of his chin being cracked was premature. Zhang hits like a truck and is sneaky with his counters and Chisora too can be crafty and disguise a counter to land a bomb. As long as Joyce sees the punch coming he can brace for it and likely walk through it, but it's those sneaky counters he can't see coming that will be dangerous for him.

    I will never stop believing that a 265 lb version of Joyce fighting in the style and tempo that he used to can resume grinding down almost any non-power puncher in the division.

    I realise this makes me foolish, but it also makes me happy.

    I think people are being overly critical of both. Hrgovic won clearly in a competitive fight. But Joyce was probably better than expected. Do people really think that Dubois (after the first fight), Parker, Joshua etc would wipe the floor with Hrgovic?!
