I think a lot of people will now say oh that's what joyce does. His engine, his chin and that jab will cause anyone problems. He broke Dubois' heart. Beat him up abit with the jab. Hope Dubois can come again but personally I think that injury has finished him.

I don't know if it's finished him, but we could see a repeat of Kell Brook.

I think Frank will have cried himself to sleep last night. It was not that long ago he was going on about throwing Daniel in there with Usyk, Whyte and Chisora. That would end very badly for Dubois based on last night lol.

It's a real bad injury both physically, emotionally and psychologically. He fought with that injury for afew rounds and the pain must have been immense. God knows he's a braver man than me, I'd of been well out of there as soon as any damage started.
Watched the fight again last night and tbh Dubois looked exactly what he is, a young kid looking for someone to help him. He was looking out of there from about round 6 onwards. Hope he does come back and he's certainly got time on his hands although I think sadly he wont.

Did Dubois slabber about Joyce's mum? Something about her vision? Karma is something else isn't it. Lol.

Tbf, some of the rounds were really difficult to score. There were at least 2 or 3 early rounds were Dubois came out all guns blazing and landing some big shots but Joyce took them, then controlled the rest of the round with the jab when Dubois had exhausted himself. Personally I scored most of those kind of rounds to Dubois, because he showed real intent and landed the bigger shots. Joyce didn't land many big right hands, if any at all, but his jab was consistent and effective. After 7 rounds I had Dubois 5-2 up because of his early round attacks and the heavy shots he landed. Joyce then took Round 8 and 9, so I had it 5-4 to Dubois going into Round 10.

Feel free to criticize my scoring because that's what boxing is all about. As they say "It's what you like! "

Got to say though, very entertaining fight and Joyce's chin and engine will give every heavyweight out there a tough night. Some of the shots Dubois landed in that fight would've been enough to trouble many of today's elite fighters. Joyce just ate them up. Monster chin.

I think that's a fair assessment Steve, I personally had Joyce winning 5-4, as he was just jabbing Dubois into submission from round 3.

I'm happy to admit I was wrong, I thought Joyce would get stopped.

No shame in getting a 50/ 50 fight wrong, mate. I couldn't pick a winner personally but the smart money would've been on the underdog purely for value.

I really hope Joyce gets the fight with Usyk. Their amateur contest in the World Series of Boxing was intriguing. Usyk clearly the better boxer but Joyce kept coming, it was only 3 rounds and Usyk was a clear winner but it's easier to run for 3 rounds, maybe not so over 12. Usyk will need a boxing masterclass over the full 12 to get a points decision in my opinion, but I hope Joyce gets to him.

Was an extremely tough fight to call. Joyce seems like a true gentleman. Hope he gets a huge pay day.
