Been a bit of conflicting reports to how the fight will be. First the was no scoring, then if one hit knocked out, the fight was over, if the was a fighter cut, fight stops immediately. Now reporting scoring and knockouts are allowed, either way won’t be watching. Can’t bring myself to watch it. Roy Jones Jr is my favourite of all time and it breaks me seeing him go out the way he is. He should of retired 15 years ago.


Gonna be interesting to see how Spence returns after that car crash and been inactive for over a year. He’s a massive welter so be interesting to see if he can still make weight, was rumours he was struggling with his weight prior to the Shawn Porter fight.

Big fan of Jones myself, by all accounts some of the knock outs he's been on the receiving end of in recent years have been fairly sickening, I can never bring myself to go looking for them.

What an unbelievable fighter he was at his peak, many, many moons ago now.

In his prime and peak, the greatest boxer to have lived IMO. He had everything and made it look so easy. The biggest accomplishment he had, was also his biggest downfall. He should of stayed at heavyweight or retired after he won the WBA heavyweight belt. Was sad seeing him get knocked out by Tarver and Glen Johnson.

Cant make my mind up .
If Joyce gets through the early rounds he could wear Dubois down.
Cant honestly say either way.

It’s a 50/50 fight and be interesting to see how both come out of it. Probably leaning towards Dubois by KO but it’s exciting to see the outcome.


Anyone staying up for Tyson vs Jones Jr? Can’t bring myself to watch it
 

Real 50:50. Whoever wins will be a real contender in future.

Joe Joyce has a weird style but its extremely effective. Just because it looks awkward doesn't mean he isn't a good fighter.
 
If Joyce can take Dubois' power, I can see him winning. He's just so, so awkward. "Juggernaught" is an apt nickname - just wears you down with constant pressure and clubbing shots. He's basically a crap George Foreman, but even pensioner George Foreman was good enough to beat up most heavyweights because of how different he was.

I'm edging towards Joyce late on or by points.

Awful that Tyson fight. Shouldn't even happen. For what its worth Jones will be too fresh for me.

Old George is a pretty good comparison. What a fighter he was, wonderful man as well.

Joe could still do alright even if he lost tonight. Him vs Chisora would be a good fight even if he lost.
