Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois Drills Richard Lartey in Four Round Shootout

[15 Rounds again]

Haven't ever been really impressed with Dubois as yet, big lad and powerful, appears slightly less stiff than Joyce, but that's not saying much.

He always seems to look worried in his corner to me no matter how well the fight is going.

DDD v JJ - Battle of the punch drunk consonants could be interesting, but I cant see either ever causing any problems for the Top HW's.

Dubois has time on his side, but I just cant see it tbh.

Joyce's pressure and solid chin would make a good style match against Fury.
John McDermott caused Fury probs just by pressure, and Joyce is way better that JMc.
Edit: And Fury is hardly a massive puncher - that'd be a good clash.

WTF you talking about? I fail to see how anyone can get "tagged repeatedly" by a guy who didn't throw any punches.

Well I clearly saw joyce* caught by some big over hand rights also so maybe you should go rewatch that fight smarta$s

Ref got told off by Frank Warren at end of round 3, promptly gave a fast count and waved it off to get Lartey out of there in the 4th.

That did look like a Warren stoppage but Lartey didn’t complain for about 2 minutes. I’m pretty sure the ref spared him a worse beating. He looks like he could probably give Wilder nightmares.

He was up at a fast 9 and hadn't been asleep for 6 of the 9...so why didn't the ref walk him to the left and then the right while asking him if he was ok?

He couldn't look the ref in the eye. When it got waved off he still wasn't even present enough to react!

I think the outrage might be a bit misplaced with this stoppage.

For what it's worth I enjoyed this fight. The Ghanaian was a good matchup and tested Dubois' chin a few times.

People might not see a superstar in Dubois but there are some raw attributes to work with and he's still very young. They can take their time with him. Could well be a good fighter in there if he they can find the right fights to progress him.

He wasn't given a chance. I think the ref was hoping he would stay down but when he didn't and was up at 9 The ref waved his arms. It's either a ten count...or you walk forward being asked if you want to continue.

If you're talking about Hughie, maybe...Tyson would box the head off Joyce relatively easily IMO!

Comparing Fury now to the Fury that fought John McDermott is for me a bit silly though, back then Tyson was much more of an inside fighter and his style has changed considerably since.

Joe Joyce is being hyped for a payday, his long Amatuer career has made him punch drunk and I can't honestly see him troubling many of the best at Heavyweight at all.

They're playing up to this Terminator thing as he boxes like he has splints on his arms, I've rarely seen a boxer look less fluid/more stiff than Joyce.

Well sir we will agree to disagree I guess
