Tyson, Jones put on exciting boxing exhibition
In an exhibition between ring legends, Mike Tyson, 54, and Roy Jones Jr., 51 entertained a PPV audience on Saturday night behind closed doors at Staples Center in Los Angeles. It was eight two-minute rounds of aggressive sparring. Tyson appeared to be in better shape and his punches had a loud cracking sound. Jones landed a few of his trademark pot shots, but also spent a lot of time holding.
According to WBC remote scoring by Christy Martin, Chad Dawson, and Vinny Paz, the bout was “a draw.” No scores announced. We had Tyson winning easily.

Joe Joyce just keeps proving people wrong "oh he's slow he's no good"
Dude is 260lbs 6'6" with a granite jaw, fantastic stamina and workrate and very heavy hands.
Dubois hit him with flush power shots that would crumble most heavyweights on multiple occasions and they had basically no effect.
Joyce beat Hrgovic in the amateurs and Yoka, was competitive with almost everyone, top top level amateurs.
I wouldn't pick JP to beat Joyce with any huge degree of confidence, I think you are going to need Wilder level power to put a dent in Joyce, and Parker would be considerably outsized and out strengthen and fights lazy which you can't do vs a volume puncher.
I think Joyce will win a belt, he's very, very effective despite not looking flashy.

Disagree. Dubois won the majority of the rounds until his eyes closed. And Dubois wasn't that good. I DO agree with you about his jaw. Rock solid.

I think he could give AJ some issues but Tyson runs rings round him..
He most likely could have some great fights with Dillian Whyte - JP - Povetkin level fighters
Hgyovic v JJ would be good as well

Last night's fight proved that Joyce and Dubois are not world class, I'd fancy Chisora against them both.

Craig, do you believe Fa would be competitive against both of them, and that Parker would KO them both? I do.

Dubois has fractured orbital bone
After his KO loss to Joe Joyce, heavyweight contender Daniel Dubois spent the night in the hospital. According to the Daily Star, Dubois suffered a fractured orbital bone and also some nerve damage around the left eye. He’ll visit a specialist on Monday to see if surgery is necessary.
Dubois’ eye was swollen shut from repeated piledriver jabs from Olympic silver medalist Joyce. He finally took a knee in round ten and was counted out after Joyce connected with another jab.

If it was that bad, corner should have stopped it.

Parker beats them both, I think Fa certainly wouldn't be over head. Probably would've beaten both on last night's performance. Duboius should retire if his eye blew up from that pittapatta jab, that's a real problem. If he fought somebody with a good jab it wouldn't have gone past 3.
