An opportunity for DDD to get revenge and get some more confidence after the Miller win. An opportunity for Joyce to try and get back into the HW picture? I’d probably favour DDD to get revenge this time around if I’m honest.
Styles make fights and old wounds may reopen. He should tuck into Joshua or Parker for his next fight both providing a decent test for all involved.
So many matches to make in the heavyweight division that we haven't already seen. Parker would be a solid matchup for Daniel.
Potentially kills any momentum Dubois has regain if he loses and I'm fairly certain he does Joyce wouldn't get much out of it either Daniel should go for Del boy now and keep rebuilding his confidence
I actually think Joe is easier than a lot of opponents Sonny. Of course Joe would need a warm up but looking back until the injury Daniel wasn't doing too badly. If it hadn't happened he'd have likely lost on points. Hes gained experience since then including doing ok against one of the 2 best in the world. Saturday may well have boosted his confidence, and Joe has taken 2 beatings. Good fight. Agree a big set back if he loses but as said theres tougher opponents. AJ is one. Bakole may be another. AND Ive a feeling he may have developed a friendship with Derek. Otherwise he'd be ideal. Followed by Joe.
No because Joyce won the fight easily and would do so again Neither would go near Martin Bakole because both know what they’d get
This fight doesn’t make sense for either. Joyce is finished after being weighed in by Zhang twice in a row. He should try and get on the Chisora and Whyte circuit, and fight both of them and then retire. Good money for old rope. For Dubois he has just had his career best performance in what most people had as a 50-50 fight beforehand. In a division riddled with fighters in their mid 30s with him being considerably younger. He should take a “tune up” fight next. He should be looking to step into the age gap in a few years once all the old men get old overnight. It doesn’t appear that young Daniel’s promoter has that same strategy.
Joyce definitely needs a tune up If he is to rematch Dubois. Another fight wouldn't hurt Dubois either. Then it would be viable. Great point about the time factor though. I disagree about that. Combination of the beatings he took against Zhang and the increase in Daniels confidence makes it a good fight, but as said I reckon they should both have a fight in between. Also disagree about Joe winning easily. Clear but not easy for me. Your guy would be a good fight for either, though very dangerous, but possibly too late for Joe and a bit too early for Daniel. Looked very good against Takam, if a bit on the heavy side. But comparatively he did better than others have. Was inactive before that one but it's a new year and hopefully he gets out more next year. 3 times would Bev great as surely hes in line for a shot???
Those who are saying DDD loses are way too high on Joyce. Given his last 2 fights, the main thing needs to be on Joyce regaining some confidence, unless he is happy just padding other resumes.
If they have any interest in building the career of Dubois then they need to steer him toward easier learning fights, before he has another go at a world title in a few years time; someone like Jermaine Franklin would be ideal.
If as likely reported that Ruiz has signed with Frank Warren I'd rather see Joyce vs Ruiz as I think it's a intriguing fight style wise. The fight I want for Dubois is Jared Anderson.
With Joyce coming off two losses, I'd say Dubois avoids a rematch as it's a risky fight. I'd say try go for Kabayel or Hrgovic.
