    Not impressed by Dubois

    His claim to fame is beating an overrated Gorman who hasn't left his caravan since he got knocked out. After that, he has fought no one but overmatched bums.

    I know he's young and I believe he's a decent prospect. But he's not fast or skilled enough to beat anyone with a pulse (he has a good jab tho). I hope he has a good chin bcos if he doesn't - he's a brutal KO waiting to happen. They need to let him grow slowly and not rush him. And I won't be surprised if he gets sparked by snailman, Joe Joyce.

    I'm starting to think David Adeleye might actually have more upside than Dubois if he can get a decent trainer.

      I agree. Dubois still has to learn and he has many years to do that. I think he remains in learning season after Joyce beats him.

        I wouldn't be surprised if Warren weasels Dubois out of the Joyce fight.

          He is fast when he lets his hands go. He was just toying with that bum last night. Totally pointless fight and it needs looking into why it was allowed to be sanctioned. I have Dubois to beat Joyce quite comfortably. Just checked and he's massive favorite with the bookies too. Rightly so imo.

            I'm not sold on Dubious either but for that matter not sold on Joyce. I think they both have alot of growing to do. Dubious reminds me of Anthony Yarde in a sense. He relies on his physical strength and will eventually find the no name guy that will stand there and take it while imposing his own will.

              He's going to beat the sh-t out of Joyce and probably get overhyped because of the performance. Not sure he's ready for the big league but he's my favorite young HW prospect.

                  When I watched that fight I didn't know what the Hell I was watching. That fight was trash. Say what you will about Matchroom but they put together much better cards than Frank Warren. That was no fight. That guy just came in to lay down and to collect an easy pay check.

                    Hw division is full of guys like Romanov, Makhmudov, DDD, Yoka, Hrgovic, Dychko, Sirenko, Jalolov, Jared Anderson, Fa, Chaney, Ajagba, Arias, Miljas..

                    It is hard to separate who is better than who because all those guys are just building their careers on worse opposition.

                    Joyce -DDD will tell us a lot about both guys, but not about the others.
