I agree
If Del is taking anything he will agree. Dangerous sport as it is

It's pathetic that a fighter realizes he can't beat an opponent unless he cheats. What does that say about him as a person, and his confidence level?

its like the Tour de france 90% of them (according to boxing insiders) are using, not out fear but because everyone else is using its a vicious cycle and a dirty game. Look at the state of Joshua before that Ruiz fight, he look scared, had zero confidence and was chewing on his mouthpiece like it was a pacifier, then as the fight progresses he has ZERO punch resistance against a guy who hit Joe with his best shots and didnt put a dent in him. It was plain to see imo AJ didnt have his usual PED crutch and looked fragile

True Ike about AJ and to make matters worse he was hurt during sparing which must have been playing on his mind.... luckily the rematch is in Saudi where AJ will have everything he needs on tap

It's just pure speculation, maybe Ruiz is on the peds but because he's such a lazy trainer, he just gets fat instead of toned. You moaned about no-one talking actual boxing and you seem to just keep banging on about who you suspect (but with no proof) to be on the gear.

Cracking undercard shaping up, Josh Taylor unification title fight and Burns/Selby.

[mippy]

Really hoping for a great performance from Joe. He wants this fight, and it sounds like he's stayed in shape.

Hopefully he's hungry and will give to 100% in the ring

Yeah me too, worried how much he can withstand Dels pressure but if he can establish his jab/range he can take the War outta Chisora

[diehard]

Well, he withstood Whyte's pressure, although he did get caught with a headbutt and a left hook, but that wasn't pressure. I would guess that Chisora and Whyte fight about the same way. So it's nothing new to Joe. What he needs to bring is some power to keep Chisora honest.
