You reckon? I thought that was a really good fight.
Helped by the fact I won a 50/1 bet on a 10th round Joyce KO
Fought Tyson won that - wasn't as depressing a scene as I thought it would be. Please no more though.
Well placed bet that.
Dubios eye looked awful, I think it's pretty pathetic the ex pros complaining that he took a knee. You could see how that last shot to his eye stunned him. If he carried on his career could have been over at 23.
Which ex pros were talking that? I didn't watch any follow up. He definitely made the right decision though.
Like you say, at 23 you can prioritise health - he'll come back and can have a good career. Although I don't see him ever troubling the top level on last night's performance. His ring intelligence wasn't there; when you think he'd throw some left hooks or at least try cut off the ring in that direction, he instead allowed Joyce to move freely and without too much trouble.
DD had the better combos but JJ was controlling him well with the jab. I'm happy for JJ, this should mean one or two bigger paydays before retirement.
