Joe Joyce v Filip Hrgovic

[Spicoli]

yeah he was. filip is very lazy & spent parts of rounds doing nothing. filip did land numerous head shots but fights are scored by rounds & joe was out landing filip in several rounds. it is a sport & if joe is passing the medicals then i have no issue. i'm not in the business of telling another man what he is allowed to do with his body

Exactly that! When do you think he had his last medical? Or any Boxers for that matter? They have to jump through hoops to get their licence, after that nobody gives a flying fuck.
As for “I’m not in the business of telling another man what to do with his body” , yep, the sort of people that say that are the sort of people who say “oh yeah that’s really sad , what a warrior!” When a fighter gets dementia and can’t remember his own name.

It's always been the 800lb elephant in the room, who are doing these medicals and exactly what makes up a local commission. Majority are expected professionals but some not so much. Don't know about globally but here in the States some commissions are basically "borrowed" as not all States have them. At least serious ones. It's like a whispered joke that guys who cannot pass medical in one region/country just travel to another for the green light. Guys who have been reported to have suffered brain bleeds Stateside just travel down South and fight in Mexico. Just happened with El Venado Lopez 2 weeks ago. Doctor shopping has to be a real ugly thing in the sport . Not saying Joyce is anywhere doing that but topic just makes you think about the whole licensing process in general. I was sitting there asking what the normal medical protocols are in the UK, with the BBBC (?). Exactly what are the medical knockout protocols 30, 60 or 90 days ? after the whole Bakole vs Parker scenario.
