    Holding the ropes a bit too much for me whilst in the clinch, but other than that I'm really impressed with Joyce
  • John Rawling f'ing loves Joyce doesnt he??

    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

    Another round you could give either way

    Not easy to score this fight. I fancy Dunois is just ahead but still all to play for.

    This is close. I have it 5-4 Joyce, one mate 4-4, another 4-5 Dubois (after round 8). Great fight thus far.

    Dubois is going to have to throw the kitchen sink at Joyce here. 
  • Dubois' eye really doesn't look great

    Wow, didn't see that coming but well done Joyce.
  • That was a ridiculous finish.

    Well that’s annoying as I had Joyce in round 11!

    Joe Joyce was excellent.
    His left jab was superb. Daniel Dubois lost heart and he was worried about his sight.

    Two pretty poor heavyweights on show there. Not really the level of fight the hype would have had you expecting.

    The jab to that eye looked absolutely minging. Hope there's no lasting damage.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    Someone on twitter reminded me of one of the first fights I was excited about... Mason v Lewis. That ended with an eye injury

    "Hope the government are in contact with Joyce because there's not a man alive who knows more about distributing millions of jabs."

    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

    Speaking of fights 25 years ago...Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr this evening. It's a no from me. On PPV? Absolute joke
