    Your AJ nuthuggers make dumb statements when Guys like Lomachenko were winning belts in their 3rd fight.

      I think experience wins this one. Dubois is very talented but I feel this fight is coming too early for him. He's hasn't fought anyone decent yet and Joyce is quite a step up and a bad matchup for him. The Juggernaut may be slow and clumsy, but he's got a great engine, excellent chin and underrated skills and he has power too. Dubois will be under relentless pressure for 12 rounds and I don't think he's ready for that.

        Good point about the amateurs "man fighting boys", however there's a similar gap between him and Joyce now . . . .

          He doesn't slow and doesn't stop, he throws at the same pace and power in the tenth as he does in the first round.
          Dubois has more to him, he has that explosive power and far more potential (Joyce seems a bit basic) but he hasn't really been tested yet.

          Joyce won't just fall over and he'll be hitting Dubois hard throughout. We don't know enough about either fighter yet.
          We don't know who's the real deal but this fight will show us. I'm looking forward to it.

            Yeah, That made me chuckle. He's 22 himself so he's basically saying "you're bound to beat me because of the age gap" but I'm going to beat you.

              I still see this as 60/40 fight in Dubois' favour. But that means Joyce still has a good chance.

              Dubois has never fought anyone who fought back so I think this will be a shock. But I think he wins because of his power and future potential.

                Joyce has always seemed like a Ko waiting to happen to me, this is the fight where it happens.

                  Dubios doesn't hit hard enough to knockout Joyce, but he's quicker and sharper with combinations so I do favor him to win.

                    Coming from the guy who fought a Japanese shoemaker this is laughable

                      I got dubois in this if he doesnt tire late. Joyce has been stopped a few times as an amateur altho he has a decent chin it isnt top notch . And I think we will see that vs dubois . This being said I could see dubois winning wide and getting tkod late due to not placing himself. We will see what experience plays in this . Becuase if dubois comes out guns a blazing he may throw a wide early lead out the window to get stopped late . All that aside iam picking dubois via stoppage around the 7-8th rounds .Sergei kuzmin legit dropped joyce hard and stopped him , altho if it wasnt amateur it could have gone on longer but he was dropped HARD . And kuzmin was coming at him swinging hard . I think dubois stops him. And I think frank and his match makers know this
