    Once again, I'll quote the late, great boxing writer Jim Brady, who once described a fighter thus: "he has three speeds: slow, slower, and call the tow truck".

      Was it the slowest fight in HW history on saturday? I kept looking at the round clock to make sure it was real time and not slow motion.

        in fact it was Dubois' head movement which did most of the damage...

          yep and you're the only one i've seen mention it. he was moving INTO the jabs every time. everyone says lack of head movement but to me it was his head shifting forward everytime he went to attack let joe beat him to the punch everytime and cut him off.

            Good call, you nailed it... how do you see Errol Spence vs. Danny Garcia playing out? Do you think Danny can become champion again?

              ... Spence is able to beat Garcia from the outside (and jumping inside occasionally)... Danny has a shit jab and he needs to be at mid range in order to use the hook...

                It's almost impossible to believe he is that slow...




                Painful to watch.



                I rather read about his KOs

                  Laughed so much with the above...

                  Research the "slower ball" in cricket, check it out on YouTube... maybe that's his style, to just keep throwing the next jab even slower than the previous one.

                    The thing I don't get about Joe ''Dial up'' Joyce is a few years back well back when he was fighting in the amateurs & then WSB he didn't appear near as slow as he is now.

                    Seems a nice enough, humble chap though I'll be rooting for him to score a few more minor upsets for sure.

                      Must be terrifying fighting him though he's like the boxing equivalent of Michael Myers.
