    Joyce at the end of the 9th was only just starting to open up sensing dubois was in a weakened state

    Dubois knew that joyce was going to be all over him like a rash in the championship rounds

      End up like Anthony Ogogo just so people can pat you on the back. No thanks.

      Improve your skills, come back stronger and financially secure your future.

          I got it right for once. After 2 rounds of action I called the round, and that a jab would stop him.

          He was looking fragile between rounds, with his corner having to gee him up, and you just cant take a heavy jab round after round.

              He was up on the cards so I believe...

                Technically Dubois quit but blaming him for that is idiotic because he had a damn good reason not to continue the fight. There is a real chance he could've been permanently blinded if he tried to survive 2 more rds vs Joyce so anyone with half a brain would've done the same thing as Dubois

                  Two of the judges were fixing to rob Joyce, only Victor had the fight scored correctly.

                    The kid made the right decision. My first reaction when I saw it was he quit, but he could have been seriously injured and was unlikely to win at that point. He still has a good career ahead of him if he stays motivated. Losing that 0 shouldn't matter that much when perfect records are usually built fighting bums.
