Comments Thread For: Dubois: Joe Joyce Will Retire, This Will Be His Last Career Fight!

I got no favorite in this, but Joe is too ponderous. Too slow. Dboi should be able out maneuver him. Good matchup at this stage.

Dubois is just helping sell tickets right here. He knows this will also be the toughest fight HE has even been in as well. A close 50/50 fight between two able, undefeated HWs. It will make for some great action, no matter how it ends up.

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.

I've been watching boxing for 47 years. I can pretty much see a boxer say twice and get 90% correct idea of where they're at and where they're going. It's not that I think Dubois is so great (he's good) it's that I've never seen a fighter as slow, ungainly, unpolished as Joyce achieve very much. I'll be amazed if he wins this apart from the always possible lucky punch or injury to Dubois.

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

Guys like Lomachenko? You meant Lomachenko? And only Lomachenko.

Mind says Joyce. Intuition says Dubois.

[JakeTheBoxer]

It should be a good action fight.

This is hilarious, it doesn't read like it came from Dubois himself

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.

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.

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

... Warren is going almost all-in with this fight... I might assume that he knows what he's doing...

Between this and Dubois/Gorman last year you've gotta give ol fish eyes credit. Hes matching these HW prospects up with each other early and its making for some nice domestic clashes. Dubois's ceiling is obviously higherbecause hes so young, but Joyce is no joke and at this stage in both their careers its pretty much 50/50. I think either guy would give plenty of trouble to the current top 10 too.

I agree completely, but Joyce is a big lump with a strong chin so we'll see if DDD has real power or just looks good knocking over Japanese midgets.
I see Joyce at European Level, he won't go much further than that, with Dubois, he has the potential but hasn't been tested thoroughly. Gorman was a good start but Joyce will be tougher.
