the nearer this fight gets.
At first I thought Dubois is going to viciously K.O him very quickly and sure he might well do but after watching a few of their fights in bed I'm starting too I think edge Joyce.
Dubois or Dubious? He has a nice jab (doesn't bring it back properly), solid right hand, does a good job of digging to the body (only once you're shelled up on the ropes). He controls range well but how one dimensional is he? If he can't back you upto the ropes or you stand at the end of his punches he is largely ineffective and goodluck backing Joyce up.
He's unbelievably static with no head movement, his guard is horrible. He brings his jab back way too low. His stamina is real suspect. He looked a bit winded to me vs Lartey, he clearly gassed vs Safety-pin who didn't even throw a punch back.
He's not athletic or talented (imo). He's a physical specimen more than anything.
Stuck in cement & takes the term flat-footed to a whole new level.
He hits hard and Joyce has no defense but to block shots with his face so I get the logic but I'm not totally convinced his power is all that either. There is no hip rotation. I've seen him hit a lot of bums super clean and they've taken them quite well.
I get Joyce is laughably slow but tbh Dubois isn't much faster and certainly has slower feet.
If Joyce gets into a rhythm I think he'll drown him.
