all jokes aside there’s plenty of fights out there for Dubois it’s only a loss doesn’t mean jack look at Chisora and he’s still young

But quitting is the big issue. If he’d lost on points or got stopped then fair enough he’d still have come out this fight with a lot of credit but taking a jab then a knee then quitting is pathetic

And as Guv said he didn’t get completely schooled and was miles behind on the cards

It's fine for Dubois to lose but you don't want to be losing to Joyce.

Winner of Nate vs jake for joyce

I can see it from both sides. Daniels eye is really bad! Why risk irreparable damage at 23 years old?

But, to take the knee and just give up has really damaged Dubois’ credibility.

It’s not losing, it’s the fact that he gave up!

So basically Dubois’s power is not anything different to tier 2 level

Dubois was winning most of the rounds up until the KO, so Joyce did well to stay in the fight and win in the end. However, there was nothing from either fighter that made me think they could trouble any of the elite heavyweight boxers at the moment.

He wasn’t winning most, it was an even fight!

Maybe. You don't know how bad it was though. I think he was going to lose on points anyway. The tide was turning for Joyce in the last few rounds.

What’s Frank Woyrren got to say

So he gave up?

Not a great trait for a boxer!

If Dubois' power was better, he wins that fight much earlier. He hit Joyce a lot (whose defence was really poor) but it didn't seem to phase him.

He couldn't see out of the eye. Maybe not worth the risk given his age.

I missed the first round, but it definitely was not an even fight from what I saw. Joyce won the last 2 rounds, but Dubois won all the others (apart from maybe the 1st).

Franks being so rude to Joyce here

Don't watch a huge amount of boxing, but never seen a bloke literally take a knee.

If your eye is done, go down swinging.

That was pretty embarrassing to watch.

Think you will be on your own with that opinion to be honest.

Like what had been suggested by the other camp, Dubois should have fought someone like Jennings first.
