Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Breaks Down, Stops Daniel Dubois in Tenth

[Roberto Vasquez]

Ah. This is great lesson lesson for Dubois fans who thought he was great even tho he never fought anyone very good. Warren ruined him by giving him no challenging fights. Joyce had Jennings give him a hard test. That's why you need the tests - so you develop skills you need against higher level opponents

Sad for Dubois but happy Joyce won. Joyce is old and needs to be fighting for a title soon. Dubois can now finally learn he needs to fight higher level opponents!

Amazed how little credit he was giving to Joyce, was all about unlucky ddd was to have an eye injury - almost like he didn’t realise it was because Joyce was hitting him (not once, but literally constantly for 9 and a bit rounds).

When asked what Joyce does next he suggested a rematch? I mean seriously - no one wants to see a rematch - DDd needs to build himself back up.

If Warren was stupid enough to make the match-up the first time, of course he'd make a rematch. He tried to rush Dubois to a title shot instead of building him properly, and tonight was the unfortunate result. Warren is so desperate for a young star to market, but he's failed with both Dubois and Yarde.

These are two horrible heavyweights! Joyce looked like he was going to tip over from being so off balanced after every punch. If I was with Team Joyce I’d cash out now with a all UK clash with Joshua.

All that stuff they were talking. Turns out he's the new Lacy!

Joyce made him quit. Jab and just gassed. Entertaining fight with disappointing end.

Dubois panicked. Never been in with anyone who could fight back before. He was getting tired out for real and got scared about what might happen next. Inexperience!

Big win for Joyce. He was wrote off by many, so it's nice to see him get the win. Hopefully a big fight is on the horizon for him.

His amateur experience is a big help. He fought smart and that jab was a big weapon for him.

A shame for Dubois but he can come back from that I'm sure. It was a jump up in opposition quality, maybe too soon. Joyce is a solid HW.
I'm not going to be as harsh as some on Dubios. That eye was a mess and he was taking accurate shots on it over and over again from an 18 stone fighter.

I'm glad it didn't go to the cards though, as I read that one judge had Dubios up by 8 !

Not impressed by either boxer in the way they boxed.

Joyce can certainly take a punch, but doesn't mean he has to and improving his defense is probably a priority for his team.

Dubois has plenty of time to fix up his one dimensional style of fighting and his body punching. I think this fight came too soon for him.

Joyce is not young and has to make a charge at a title now.

Thats a real nice sig.

I managed to fall asleep after seeing the card was still doing one of the 8 rounders and then proceeded to sleep through the whole rest of the card, (and for not the first time in the last two months either, dampit!). So then, was it a fight that I should be wanting to make sure I see sooner than later?

Not at all surprising. The young kid blasted through everyone put in front of him, but had never dealt with someone who could take his shots and wasn’t at all intimidated. Joe got that Ike Ibeabuchi toughness & focus. I do believe that Joe’s on the spectrum. If so, good for him for putting autism on the map...Respect.
