Chisora v Joyce - two flabby C-listers flailing at each other. Chisora was declared the victor, but there were no winners.

To be fair I thought Chisora gave a great account of himself without winning any points for style.

He dug deep to keep up his attack even when clearly heavily fatigued.

Joyce, the better technician on the other hand, looked again very cumbersome in defence even though he clearly had more power and a reach advantage, he just couldn’t keep Chisora off him and eventually conceded a crucial knockdown in the 9th.

Joyce needs to change up his attack. The whole blocking punches with his face isn't working.

Couple of notable undercard victories for British boxers tonight on the undercard of Fury-Usyk.

Mark Chamberlain demolished again his opponent at middleweight and Moses Itauma chinned his opponent to the deck at heavyweight.

Looking forward to seeing Joe Cordina later too before the main event.

For a 19 year old, Moses looked mature

He did for sure.

I liked the way he neither stood off him when he had his opponent hurt nor rushed in and crowded his own shots.

Definitely showing the poise of a good heavyweight and looks better than Wardley or Frazer.

My only question is his size - he’s slightly on the short side compared to some of the men he’ll be up against height wise in this era of giants.

Obviously could make an advantage of it like Mike Tyson did, but it’s something that could hold him back.

I listened to him on talksport before the fight, he isn't a natural speaker but not many are at 19. What I did like is his intellegence, not over selling himself but he knows where he wants to go and likened himself to a heavyweight that boxes like a middleweight....will do for me, think the kid will do alright
