Joyce's style still makes my teeth itch but its very effective. Joyce passed the chin test, Dubois I've got 1 round ahead but you could give a share of all but 2 rounds to either fighter for me. Joyce won round 1 Dubois round 6 and 7 for me
Very weird stoppage but to put it into context he could not see out of his left eye before the shot landed. He is 23 and hasn't been in a gut test like that before and 23 is a baby as a heavyweight
Good for Joe Joyce he deserved that took some good punches from Dubois but stuck to the very effective game he knows and did the business
Carl Frampton and David Haye bravely giving Dubois some shit for taking a knee off a jab
Dubois can come back from that but his promoter will be raging about that. I'm loathe to say someone in a heavyweight bout quit but.....
I'm really happy for Joe Joyce, I like him, I absolutely detest his style it looks so odd and unnatural but is and always has been incredibly effective. Good for him and anyone who backed him
They are calling it right though, that was a quit. Dubois is young enough and hard enough that he'll be back in the frame in no time.
Joyce is a machine. He's the relentless robot knight form Knightmare
Nothing wrong with quitting when eye injuries can end careers (e.g. Ogogo). He's young and will fight another day - this is a setback, sure, but hopefully he comes back stronger.
The eye was bad from the 3rd 4th round he showed guts he hadn't really had to show before that. Being whacked by Lartey isn't the same as being pounded by accurate jabs by a monster like Joyce

And out
His left jab was superb. Daniel Dubois lost heart and he was worried about his sight.
The jab to that eye looked absolutely minging. Hope there's no lasting damage.
