Dubois > Joyce

Post by diddy »

If I’m one of the top guys I dodge Dubois and go after Joyce, no question.

Dubois should continue to take it slow and not jump up too much in competition. He's still 21/22 and there's no need to rush. Joyce is who he is. I never rated him as high as others.

Dubois started boxing at age 9. Joyce at 22. It really shows.

That is huge difference in muscle memory isn't it. Joyce will never be any better than he is now.

Wow!! I had no idea, but that is believable. So even though both have been in the fight game for the same amount of time, Daniel's earlier start gives him a more stable foundation. His jab is especially effective and for all Joyce's looping, wind-up punches he really doesnt show much of a jab.

I will say this about Joyce, to be nice. He’s come very far with heart, toughness and obviously genetics such as natural power and size. He’s also a hard worker. He however does not look ‘at home’ in the ring.

Is this an attempt at comedy? Won't criticize your poor English just poor observation. He just threw hundreds of punches for 12 rounds and didn't dent an aluminum can.

There’s a difference between power and delivery you sod. Just like there’s a different between punching a punching bag and a moving person. Joyce has power, natural power.

Please also criticise my English skills.

I’ve never come across him. Haven’t been on as much (boxrec), I assume he’s a new troll then? I won’t bother further, thanks for the heads up.

I like his jab. He can control it. Fast and accurate. Would freeze opponents. His body work was good but I thought there was more room for it rather that the looping overhand right which he was throwing. Gorman had a high guard leaving his body exposed. Can take that criticism lightly as the overhand was clearly hitting the mark and was the punch that dropped Gorman on those two occasions. He’s very promising. Patient and controlled, with some more punch variety, some more speed on his feet. I’m a fan and will be watching. What did you think overall?

I've never seen him look that good before. He mixed up his punches well. Worked behind the jab well. Was moving in and out more than I've seen him. Took some solid shots without blinking. If he keeps improving, he has the talent to be a force in the division in another year. I'm drooling over Ajagba vs DDD in 18 months or so.

I was being a bit harsh honestly, I agree, he was on point. We have a promising young heavyweight. Given his attitude post fight I’d say he can only improve. Great for boxing and the division.

I hope he doesn't get rushed. Gorman is good UK level, but DDD still has things to work on before stepping up too much.

Much as I like DDD, he's not ready for Hrgovic yet. Maybe another year and four or five fights.

He takes a punch well too. He's strong - but he looks like he's fighting underwater! I don't recall ever seeing a fighter who threw punches in slow motion like that.
