Looking forward to this more than any booked fight. Only expected one I want more is to watch Lopez take that God aura off loma.

I'm expecting a first round demolition job.

Joyce is absolutely appalling

Hearn would have done it as PPV 100 %
he may come out and say otherwise to annoy Warren but he would have done the same

Didn’t Hearn put Groves v Degale on PPV ?

Wasn't that bumped up to the main event as that was called off ?

Yeah, Clev - Braehmer was the original headliner I believe.

Odds makers are no mugs, i stung them good with the Gorman fight and i imagine a few others did, they don't want to get exposed again on Dubois who's looking the real deal. Joyce has been hurt in the amatuers, I don't think his chin stands up to Dubois and he doesn't really fight going backwards.

Really looking forward to this one , I'm siding with Joyce through his experience and toughness to outgun Dubois late on.

He hasn't come close to being koed though, he has a jaw of granite and only lost against high level guys. Whereas Dubois in the ams lost to guys like Algirdas Baniulis, whom had extensive losing records.

Joyce is a proper unit, and his experience is on another field compared to Dubois, he's arguably at his peak too.

Dubois is the one ascending through his knockouts and that win over Gorman - Although personally I thought Gorman was so bad that night it still left many question unanswered.

Dubois has a bit of Price hype about him in my opinion. This fight will go a long way to either dispelling that or confirming it.

Love the fact people on here are very split. Makes for an interesting, genuinely pick em fight.

Slightly favour Dubois here based on speed, power and I think that war with Lartey showed he can take a shot, he ate some big ones in that!

Hurt & Kod in the ams.

Is it not 11 April?

Really looking forward to this. I think we know how good Joyce is/will be, his strengths and weaknesses. Dubois is more of an unknown quantity but what we’ve seen so far is encouraging, although the opposition has been limited. DD has quicker hands and I’d back him to land first, but will that be enough to stop Joyce marauding forward? If not does Dubios have the technique, stamina and chin to deal with that scenario?

I’m edging DD but I can’t see him blasting out Joyce and I wouldn’t be especially surprised if Joyce wore DD down and beat him up.

Genuinely looking forward to this and hope it has a nicely balanced undercard to make it into a proper event

If you think Dubois is too short then Joyce must be too big so back that don't be disappointed.

Joyce ain't gonna win

What are the odds on dubois by ko?

Joyce dropped his trainer (again). three in 2.5 years. Can't understand. No more Booth. Wonder who his new trainer will be? I heard Kevin Barry 's name dropped.

Not Kevin bloody Barry!
No good can come of that.
Also Barry trains out of Las Vegas in the house that he syphoned out of David Tua's exorbitant (but not quite criminal) fees to Barry.
I would expect Joyce to want to train in the UK

I can’t see any way that Molasses Joe wins this. It’s strange that they are making this fight I did imagine with him being the WBA Gold ‘champion’ that he would be cashed out in a world title challenge...

Calling Joyce molasses is an insult to molasses

It was said in the press conference that Joyce is training in the US.

I've seen where Joyce might prefer to train in the states.

He was still with Booth up to around 2 weeks ago as he was in Gym videos and when Josh Taylor was there.

Seen picture of him flying to Vegas though so he must have switched again. Do wonder if he’s listening to that halfwit Sam Jones bit too much.
