Comments Thread For: Dubois Expects To Stop Joe Joyce, Doesn't Care If It's Early or Late

Joyce is as slow as molasses - it's ridiculous. The only unknown is Dubois' chin, if that is ok then this is a certain win for Dubois.

Joyce is faster then Foreman was ,if Foreman was fighting Holyfield and Foreman didn’t have a name you guys would be saying the same thing and that was one of the best heavyweight fights in the 90”s .

However DDD is not Holyfield at this stage and Joyce is like a Foreman with less durability but non stop punching so this isn’t a clear winner at all .

I feel there is some forced perspective going on in the picture - I think Dubois is quiet a bit taller and bigger than Joyce.

Just looked it up: Apparently Dubois is only 1,96m vs Joyce 1,98m. Oh well, my money is still on Dubois by 6th round KO.

this was my initial thoughts, however i dont think its that simple. Yes Joyce punches like hes underwater but considering his engine and stamina is INSANE, he could simply weather the storm early on (he has a very gd chin) let Dubois punch himself out & then overwhelm Dubois and drown him late on.

dumb dubois don't understand what a beatdown he's in store for

Joyce is slow but he is HUGE and takes a solid shot. Watch for this to go to the cards, probably for Dubois.

Joyce is slow, but this is a heavyweight division, not welterweight or lightweight. I am not sure how good Dubois`s chin is.

He’s got a smallish head that resembles a bean of some variety. I
Imagine his chin is average at best.

Joyce’s head is the size of one of those Easter Island statues.

Question is can he weather the early onslaught.

i like dubois but he doesnt know what hes got himself in for, joe is going to completely smash him to bits, you cant put a kid in with someone like joe joyce, im sorry but you just cant

I am really looking forward to this fight, everyone seems to think its a easy win for Dubois but I really don't understand the thinking there.

I see this one as a real pick em, to be honest I won't be surprised if Joyce ends up dominating. I think he's proven a bit more than Dubois

It'll definatley tell a lot about Dubois this one, if he wins in impressive fashion he's a real force.

I have favored Dubois since this was signed, but I agree with what you said- basically a "pick 'em" that a fan will pick based on what they like in a fighter. I see Dubois with more ways to win in a younger body. But I can see a couple different scenarios Joyce wins this. I love that these two guys are putting their records on the line. Neither are done with a loss, but I see Joyce as needing a win more.

Get the popcorn buttered up and chill the beer. This will be fun.
