@raznomore Wouldn't suprise me if Gallen got up tbh. Browne is beyond shot now where he can't take a punch anywhere these days. Hoping Browne gets up.

@raznomore Haha the 2nd dive he's taken in his career now after his dive against Dave Allen.

Browne you're fucking disgrace. This is why boxing is fucked. He offered up his chin and went down initially to slapping punches. I know his chin is shit but that was weak rubbish and in my opinion an obvious dive.
Just rubbish
Nothing new though, while on the road I’ve been googling lots of stuff on the enigma that was Sonny Liston. A very interesting and strange life and I’m fucken positive he took a dive in the second Ali fight.
I also reckon that as his boxing skills faded with age the mob had no use for him and “whacked” him.

Joe looks in fantastic shape and seems really happy since hooking up with Andy Lee
-
@kiwiinmelb I'd like to see him use more power from his legs and look at employing a nice big hook up under the chin... A recent article by him on what Andy Lee got him to look at gave me the impression he was coasting with Barry. He also said he may have been overtraining.
I'd like to see him use his speed and combos and come in only when needed. His speed is surely an advantage, his punching power not so much. -
Chisora's camp saying they won't try and box. Just go hard and overpower Joe. Who knows if that is just pre-match talk or not.
Hope Joe puts some dancing feet on.
In his early days his hand speed looked to be his biggest asset. I don't know if he lost it or if it was trained out of him. -

I guess its what has made him popular in the UK , he is nothing special in reality , but always brings the aggression , and gets a bit of respect for that
I think Joe getting involved with the gypsy boys might just be a good thing to sharpen his skills , we find out i guess

Problem for joe , chisora is probably pinching the rounds through just being the aggressor

Parker needs to throw more, especially with Chisora looking fatigued.
story of parkers career , doent quite seize the crucial moments ,
but if there is a positive , i thought there were improvements in his movement and punch selection even if it wasnt often enough ,
with only a 6 week camp with a new trainer for this fight , he should improve further if they stick together
-
Next week
Canelo v Billy Joe Saunders should be interesting

@dice Don't agree personally. I had the first 3 to Chisora, 4-11 to Parker and then the last to Chisora but only just, so I had it 115-112 Parker but almost gave the last to Parker so I can see where the 116-111 came from.
Parker really made things hard for himself having said all that. He would land 2-3 punch combos which would hurt Chisora thoughout the fight, and then instead of piling on the pressure and trying to avoid the stoppage, he'd stand there and admire his work, letting Chisora recover before Chisora would start marching forward throwing his overhand right or backing Parker to the ropes to unleash to the body. He let Chisora off a lot when he could have stopped him.
Parker still lacks a killer instinct. He's far too nice when he could be a lot more aggressive. It's what his team should be trying to knock into him going forward but I fear it's too late.
