    I was one of those people that questioned Dubois but my god all respect to him he's proven me completely wrong and has certainly proved he's a legit champion!!!!

    Go find that RBR thread Dubious Joyce.

    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...ack-catterall-vs-abderrazak-houya-rbr.659218/

    The kind of vitroil Dubious got was disgusting.

    He did his best and got his eye socket broken which is a career ender potentially and rightfully HAD TO QUIT. Quitting is acceptable in boxing in some instances. Especially as the fight was lost, he was 22? career ahead of him. A few more rounds getting that eye pounded easily could blind you.

    Probably Kabayel or Bakole will end it again.

    Maybe Usyk but not Fury, Fury getting hurt way too easy nowadays, it wouldn’t surprise me if DD stops Fury.

    Dubois looked terrible against Joyce. He was getting badly outboxed before getting stopped. He has made massive improvements and is now right near the top.

    Indeed. Dubois may be better than many of us thought. I'd figured he'd get splattered against Joshua, but I was dead wrong

    I think he will lose again pretty soon.

    Weak era

    I think you could make a case that he was winning the fight, but he did look very tense and completely lacked head movement. He was landing plenty on Joyce as well though.

    He was winning it on the scorecards.

    That he is actually young amongst an aging upper echelon who have all taken a step back in varying degrees is a bonus in its own right. :D

    He was landing at will on Joe. He didn't look that bad.

    He has gotten more opportunities then anyone could hope for, but he also made the best of them.
