That sounds optimistic. Cant knock each other out? feck me. It was already a laughing stock.
Sorry meant the dubois vs Joyce card ill be well asleep by Tyson card!!

FYI I think the knock out thing has changed as well. Although I think you will get a better fight outside a spoons these days.

Fair. Not got money on, I fancy Dubois to win, maybe 4/5th round. Shit weekend for gambling I’m well down so just going to enjoy the fight
I get weekends like that also, don’t have anything big on just to have a bit of interest. Yeah am super excited now Dubois looks massive in the changing room.

He looks ridiculously good. I’d love to know if he’s got there clean because those are some bloody genes if so

I’d back a 50 year old Tyson or Jones to knock out anyone outside a Spoons :lol:

Joyce is bloody huge and doesn't look hurt or wobbled at anything :eek: a bit slow but hits like a truck too

Yeah wasn't being entirely serious!

Decent fight this, both good level British boxers/decent European level. Think any half decent heavyweight beats both easily, luckily for these 2 there isn't many about

Dubois’s attitude and ring presence is poor, he doesn’t seem up for it.

Given how often you see boxers fighting on when they’re covered in blood, that looks a bit weak. Easy for me to say though

Aren’t fights usually stopped by a doctor if an eye is completely closed?

Of course it’s easy to say, but if he’s in this game to win then he would have to take much more than that. Now he’s going to get his heart questioned every time.

Joyce and his Jab pretty much controlled the fight. Well played, resilient as anyone I've seen aswell. DDD's eye was a right mess and that last shot fully connected with it, was worried from the minute he sat down in his corner before the fight.

I think it was all them jabs he eat messed up his head rather than just a closed eye.

I got this one completely wrong. I thought Dubois would steamroll Joyce.

Im not going to get carried away and dismiss dubois and overhype Joyce but this is heavyweight boxing. Both fighters have more to give.

I thought Dubois was very poor. Didn’t have any defence to Joyce’s jab and twice when he had him on the ropes, he had no stamina to back up the initial shot. I don’t think Joyce is anywhere near good enough for the elite level

I agree. To be honest, it looked like he had stage fright before the eye started closing

In fairness if you've got a bloody nose/mouth or cuts below the eye its not as bad as that injury. I agree it doesn't look great to stop fighting cos of that but it did look pretty nasty.

When your corner has to gee you up after a couple rounds you know it’s not good. Really poor, it’s a shame but fair play to Joyce.

No desire to see either of these at the world level though.

What about ODH saying he'd beat GGG without a problem. I know its a piss take but with amount of gear he's sniffing, maybe he actually believes it?
