Look...right now this division is a stagnant joke. Champs in name only barking about fighting mma guys, circus bears or God knows what at this point, former champs talking their way out of mutual and needed top contender match ups and other former champs sitting on the sideline content to wait on some "magical Christmas lottery in Dubai" . It's really quite sad. So glass up for Zhang and Joyce I say. I honestly have more anticipation and respect for the two of them mid 2023 than the rest of the CF of a division.
A lot of good points above. But it comes to something when we feel we have to praise 2 fringe fighters for actually doing what they’re paid to do.
Not just this fight , but it is a perfect example, neither of them is a champion, and there was no controversy, so what the fuck need is there for a rematch ?
The real problem is the governing bodies are weak as piss and are only interested in their commissions.
I watched Carl Froch on YouTube yesterday and although he’s full of self righteous bullshit, every now and again he makes a decent point. He had a list of the top 25 HW’s in the world , and not one of them had a fight scheduled! He acknowledged Jared Anderson fighting Charles Martin this weekend , but Anderson wasn’t on this list.
How the fuck can the division go forward if nobody fights ffs? It’s a fucking disgrace and guess who suffers from it? Yep, the fans.
We’re left to debate whether Fury is better than Usyk or if AJ could beat him blah blah blah.
Total bullshit.
