To all of the "slow Joe" naysayers , he put on a boxing clinic .

what does that make Dubois then , who was beaten to the punch most of the fight ?

Slow Train Coming

Joyce handspeed still isn't stellar. But his chin was great enough to take Dub's best shots, his jab was hard enough to bust Dub's eye, he was able to remain composed and box.

Credit to slow Joe, who put his advantages over this disadvantage!

I'm a slow Joe naysayer, and predicted Joyce to win by KO! He's pure Foreman, crude, cumbersome, slow -- yet accurate, persistent and powerful.

joe was more accurate, but clearly still slow as sh!t, doesn't mean he's not a nightmare to fight , as dan's eye found out

He beat Dubois to the jab all night long , was it the extra reach or the slower handspeed ?
Nobody on here saw him beating him to the jab .

Seems to be the uncanny Foreman-like timing and accuracy. It's part of the joy of boxing that these guys make things work that shouldn't

It sounded as though Bowers was really worried about Dubois’ appetite for the fight from very early on. Until we know the extent of the eye injury it’s probably best not to pass judgement on the ending but certainly there were signs tonight that don’t bode well for Dubois future in the game at a high level.

Fair play to Joyce he did exactly what he said he would but for me tonight was more about Dubois’ shortcomings than Joe’s strengths. I don’t think winning tonight against a (with the benefit of hindsight) very flawed opponent means Joe has a chance against the elite guys in the division.

[Cyclops]

Prediction: Joyce to stop an exhausted Dubois in the later rounds. Ten or nine.

That's the bet I've got on, plus a cheeky little bet for a points win for Joe and a draw in case of the judges as Dubois is the clearly the 'house' fighter.

So we both made a bit of money tonight and maybe all the idiots who pick a fighter because he's a meathead who looks great knocking out Japanese heavyweights over a bloke with the amazing amateur career and solid contender wins in the pros can piss off back to Twitter where they belong.

Nice one, Big Joe. Finally earned a bit of the respect he deserves!

How could anyone have had Dubois ahead by 8 rounds ?

I think both his eyes were swelled up.. randomly scoring the fight. So disrespectful for the fighters..

he laned some big shots on joe durning the fight i had dd winning

[brilo33]

looking back on my scoring i had dd up 5rds

Can definitely see a case for that.

Surely even you agree 8 points difference is stupidity in spades tho?

Funnily enough even if Dubois was 5 points up I reckon Joyce would be comfortable with that in the end. He’d have won round 10 at least 10-8 and would be confident of more knockdowns before the end of the fight,

[goose 5]

DD 5-4 on my card, but I could see 6-3.

[Post 4 Post]

I was proven wrong by Joyce. Joyce may not have the technique or speed but showed he is a much smarter fighter than DDD, who lacked the instincts & drive.

DDD looked like rudolf from round 1 & had no answer for that Joyce jab & pulled a No Mas

yea i think it was very close a lot of rds i was trying not to score draw rds but i found a lot of rds either way close i just leaned to wards dd because he was throwing and landing the heavier shots, i did think he was winning

Agreed. It was tough to score. Lotsa jabs vs several power punches. Had dubs up by a point.

Definitely. A bit disappointed though. Would've liked a more definitive ending. Granted Joyce caused the eye damage, but if it is nerve damage like what's been going around, you can't blame the lad. Geez, he was up on the cards. (a bit too wide though).

i know what you mean it was a good heavyweight fight but you want to see a finish but not like that
