Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois vs. Joe Joyce Finalized, April 11 at The O2

[The Big Dunn]

The UK gets a bad rap which is totally unwarranted because think about how guys like Josh Taylor who fights a string of top fighters, and these two guys Joyce and DuBois taking a risk against each other and many other UK seeking out and fighting the best fighters in their division. Kell Brook fought Porter and Spence and GGG. They are not afraid of competition!

I think the criticisms are a direct result of the unbelievable slurpage of some of the British posters. A Brit wins and then the board gets flooded with cuckery suggesting Brits are now taking over the fight game and the O2 arena is somehow the new MGM and London is the new Las Vegas.

Then when the Brit that was proclaimed to be the next great thing-Brook, AJ, Kahn-gets destroyed, posters tend to go in as hard as the Brits did. Some of it is unfair as you posted.

Great fight, I favor Dubois but even if 22 year old Dubois loses, he could gain a lot from the experience. The same probably can't be said for 34 year old Joyce.

It's a great and competitive fight.

A massive step-up for Dubois. If he had Joyce coming up next, he should have fought a decent (#15-#20) fighter instead of that Nobody Fujimoto.

Joyce really is a big robotic stiff idiot who is unbelievably slow but forget the fact he looks like hes punching underwater, his gastank and output is ridiculous for a HW, although i favour Dubois catching him and stopping him, Joyce has a fantastic chance of just swarming the young lad early on. really interested to see how Dubois reacts, fasinating contest either way, cant wait.

Funna be a great fight!

Good fight.

I think Joyce is probably better than he looks from the outside. As slow as he looks and not that skilled a lot of the time, he gets the job done and was a good amateur, arguably should’ve won the gold medal at Olympics. Of course it doesn’t always mean you will make a good pro. I just get the feeling it’s probably a different story actually being in there with him.


Dubois looks good so far. Didn’t look that impressive when he fought Johnson, but Johnson is a crafty veteran/survivor so it’s hard to look good sometimes but it showed that the one fighter with a bit of experience Dubois fought, it made him look a bit green. Joyce has a lot of amateur pedigree and success. Joyce can **** too and seems to have a really solid chin.

I might lean towards Joyce, even though Dubois seems to do a lot of things better than Joyce. I just think Joyce will be a hard man to beat and might be too tough for Dubois at this point.

Joyce is taking this seriously ,going to Vegas to train . Anyone know who would be his trainer ? Does Abel Sanchez train out there ?

BIG JUGGERNAUT is going to walk through him. I am a big fan of Joyce, and his silky skills, but I like both fighters. Just think Danny Doobwah is gonna struggle with such a jump up in the calibre of opponent. I may be wrong, but this is my gut feeling.

Joyce is gonna knock him out and do some capoiera in the ring after. Whilst all the losers on youtube make jokes about how they can make a cup of tea by the time joyce throws a punch. Its funny, joyce is so slow and useless yet hes arguably greatest UK amateur in history and hes demolishing guys in the pros. Some kid with a big punch isnt any threat to him.

I am really excited by this one. This is the final step for Dubois from domestic to world level. I think he does a job on Joyce, people should not doubt how good Dubois is. I have seen the kid train down the road from me for years, I have seen him work his way up the domestic scene and he is just too good for Joyce.

get Joyce out of there, then push on against Parker or Povetkin then onto a world title challenge.

A very good fight. I would gladly see Kownacki vs. the winner of this one provided Adam will not get the chance to fight for the belt.

I agree. Kownacki would be a big another step up for winner.
