If Joyce beat Zhang he'd have got this fight.

Yeh but that's ignoring how one sided it was - how completely exposed Dubois was - against Joe Joyce.

And no disrespect to Zhang but he was throwing less and less as his fight with Joyce went on and the stoppage was down to damage inflicted in round one.

Damage is damage

I rate Zhang, he's a right handful for anyone

Is it just me or could Michael Buffer now appear in an Insidious movie and not need any makeup?

Jump on the rbr thread lads

Big, strong lump with a solid chin

I wish I'd look like that when I'm 80 years old.

Because he got a black eye. That's why he lost the fight.

See how it goes in the rematch. Zhang is good.

Have as much work done as Buffer has and you can.

Dubois looks nervous

Damage is damage

Joe's weakness ithat he is cumbersome early in a fight was cruelly exposed by Zhang. In those first 2/3 rounds Zhang made Joe look old and clumsy, no doubt.

You have to wonder as I did if a boxer with such speed issues can rule the world.

The fact that JJ lost on a swollen eye and that he totally outclassed DD remains a factor.

Usyk 2 - 0 for me.

Usyk 3-0. Dubois is trying but he's in with a whole different level of opponent skill-wise tonight.

Usyk 4-0.

Usyk 4-0. Dubois landing a few, though, without getting too reckless. Could be very interesting if he finds something flush (which he probably won't).

Massive low blow to start round 5..

Didn't look very low on the replay to me. Perhaps Dubois has found a way in.

Borderline

Think I agree. that should have been a ko

Thought was a kd

What a load of shit. That was never low. A farce.

Dubois should have won with the ko

Usyk isn't a heavyweight.

Dubois is brave and game, he's giving a good account of himself tonight. (And should be champion already damn it!)

...but takes a knee at the end of the 8th. Looks like a right hook high on the temple.

Almost DD's first round won tonight...

and again from a jab in the 9th. All over.
