Joyce vs Dubois Official Scorecards

One judge had Dubois up EIGHT rounds, another had him up two rounds and the other one had Joyce up two rounds. LIS before the fight, rumors were circulating that Joyce is headed to Matchroom. Dubois pretty much just needed to go 12 rounds and survive and he likely would have gotten the decision regardless. Shameful. Edit: Here are the ACTUAL scorecards:

Cards at time of the stoppage were 87-84 Joyce, 86-85 Dubois and 88-83 Dubois

Still shameful to only give Joyce two rounds on one card. 87-84 or even 86-85 Joyce was fair. 86-85 Dubois is pushing it as well.

I had Joyce a few up at the time of the stoppage. The commentary was real biased towards DDD. Kind of felt a bit for Joyce, Even post fight it felt like the atmosphere had been spoiled for the whole team. Everything seemed to be about what went wrong for Dubois and how he can put things right. Frank Warren even suggesting a rematch when crowds are allowed back. Frank saw his chance of having his future ppv star vanish but Joyce is with him too, so shouldn't have been treated like an away fighter that spoiled the party This was Joyce's night , he boxed well and moves on.

Everything was arranged to steal Joe. Had he endured a few more rounds on his feet DDD would have won. That’s the main reason no one interrupted the match, even though the eye was swollen like an orange.

Joyce was up by at least 2 rounds and was going to stop him anyway and I saw signs in dubois corner that he was losing heart even as early as the 5th round That judge who had dubois up by 5 rounds should be banned from scoring a fight period

I had Joyce well in front. I don't score misses and DDD mostly missed with those slow punches. Joyce jabbed the hell out of him every round. It sounds like DDD was the designated winner but he quit.

So if he would have completed the fight he wins. Can’t quit. He’s going to hate himself for it With how inept the judging was? Probably, but technically if he would have lost rounds 10, 11 and 12, he would have lost a SD. Again though, all he would have had to done is be somewhat competitive and he would have gotten the round.

I was worried it was gonna go the distance. Almost bet on a split decision finish because of that. Not picking a side but just that that would be the method of victory for whoever won it. Seemed like that's what was on the way to happening...

Dubois up 8 rounds? WTF?! Only in boxing does such blatant corruption get you more work.

Wow, if true they were clearly robbing Joyce. I had Joyce 6-3 up , 3 clear DDD rounds but Joyce jab was so effective. Basically any round DDD didn’t have a lot of succes he was losing because of the number of score jabs. If you had Joyce behind it’s only because you don’t understand how boxing scoring goes - and judges should know exactly that!
