Dubois v Joyce - terms agreed for July - O2 Arena London

[El Kabong]

Was hoping this would happen and it looks like it is.
July 13th at the O2 is being mentioned.
Hard to call this one but a very good matchup that will deliver.

Hard to call



I call Joyce turning the lights out on Dubois about round 4. Dubois had a good entertaining fight vs Lartey but holy crap is that dude AVERAGE looking in the ring. There's nothing flashy at all about him. I mean it's good he lets the hands go, but the technique doesn't strike me, the power doesn't strike me, the handspeed doesn't strike me.


Joe Joyce at the VERY least has big time power and yeah he's a big slow plodder, but he connects more often than not and Dubois takes too many shots to be effective vs a guy like that. If he learned to slip, catch, or roll with punches and counter maybe he'd have something, but naaaaah buddy he's getting outgunned vs Joyce BADLY!


Have the smelling salts on standby

I'll watch a replay of it just so I can use x2 speed option.

I know they are slow but come on give them a break.

I don't think Joyce or Dubois will be anything more than a contender for the world titles, but I don't think they have the X factor to get to be title holders outside of the local England belts. They will be fun fighters to watch because they have that back and forth kind of style, they're a bit plodding, a bit heavy handed, but there's not that snap to their punches or slickness to their defense that gets them to win the world titles.


They'll soon reach their levels and find fighters who will outbox them or out slug them.


Right now I'd love to see Filip Hrgovic fight either of them...I think he'd wreck the pair of them.
