    Kownacki is still fighting? Be careful Adam, you still have your health

    Joyce v Kash is neither tolerable or good. Joyce beat a better fighter on his debut in 2017. Embarrassing matchmaking even on the back of two defeats.

    Zhang is a very common family name in China, not quite at "Smith" level but pretty close. Plus they're from entirely different parts of the country. If I had to guess I'd say no, but you never know though.

    I am surprised Joyce isn’t fighting in Saudi. A guy of his profile would get invited I think.

    I think it’s ok as he had two nasty beatings from zang, but at his age he can only afford one soft touch if he wants to stay relevant.

    At least we got the one we wanted to see in Usyk Fury, besides that and Zhang Parker the rest are dog****.

    Would like to see Kabayel again soon, think Wardley could be a good match up for him.

    Also wanna see Bakole out, that Whyte fight looks like it could build into something.

    What’s going on with the likes of Hughie and Hunter? Are they still alive?

    Agree that those two are the main bouts.
    Me too regarding Bakole vs. Whyte. Seems to be some bad blood there. Should be an entertaining presser and fight.

    Aren't they both small HWs... maybe they're waiting for Super CW or Bridger-weight to be better established?
