Dubois will win by KO, i don't think there's any doubt there. What really makes me laugh is how Dinu is ranked at number 2 by the WBA. How is he even ranked at all? He's never won a WBA ranking belt and he's never beaten anyone ranked in the top 15. In his last 4 fights he's been knocked out by MIller & Pulev, plus he's beaten an ancient and out of shape Osborn Machimana ( I remember David Price KO'ing him years ago) and another knock over fight. It's not the first time and it won't be the last, but it's an absolute scandal how Dinu is ranked at all by the WBA.
Probably true but this is more of a comeback confidence-building fight for Dubois. I give him and his promoter credit that he went and fought Joyce and not play safe protecting his "0 loss".
I don’t know where this ranks in the hall of Shame Heavyweight title fights list. Probably nothing will ever top Trevor Bryan - BJ Flores. But man. That will be high on the list
This fight and those following for Dubois is a good example of taking a loss and learning from it and moving on. What the results will be are open to how he fights in this and the next several fights. But sometimes it is good to have a loss early and not have that hanging over your head, goes to looking at yourself in training and opponents and of course heart esp in his case.
Comparing Dubois quitting and Saunders is ridiculous. Dubois took sustained punishment from a 6'6 260lb Joyce and fought through a broken face injury for many rounds. Saunders took 2 hard punches from midget clenelo and gave up immediately. Saunders eye did not even have time to swell he quit so fast. Guys like Dubois and Brooke proved they have heart Saunders proved he has none which is not a surprise at all.
