This card has been pretty awful so far. Hopefully main event makes up for it

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Fair. Not got money on, I fancy Dubois to win, maybe 4/5th round. Shit weekend for gambling I’m well down so just going to enjoy the fight
That sounds optimistic. Cant knock each other out? feck me. It was already a laughing stock.
Sorry meant the dubois vs Joyce card ill be well asleep by Tyson card!!
FYI I think the knock out thing has changed as well. Although I think you will get a better fight outside a spoons these days.
I get weekends like that also, don’t have anything big on just to have a bit of interest. Yeah am super excited now Dubois looks massive in the changing room.
He looks ridiculously good. I’d love to know if he’s got there clean because those are some bloody genes if so
Dubious. Easy.
Joyce 7-9 purely cause I've backed it.
Looks like they got a punter in off the street in Joyce
I think there might be an oxygen break for the second half of the fight at this rate
Good fight so far Joyce took some good shots and is still there..
Pretty even this. Dubois struggling with Joyce’s jab
Dubois doesn’t look all there at all
Dubois doesn’t look good in the corner
His trainer sounds worried as feck
Isn’t his left eye basically closed?
Joyce is bloody huge and doesn't look hurt or wobbled at anything 
a bit slow but hits like a truck too
a bit slow but hits like a truck tooI’d back a 50 year old Tyson or Jones to knock out anyone outside a Spoons
Yeah wasn't being entirely serious!
Decent fight this, both good level British boxers/decent European level. Think any half decent heavyweight beats both easily, luckily for these 2 there isn't many about
Dubois’s attitude and ring presence is poor, he doesn’t seem up for it.
wow!
That’s shocking, didn’t want it no more
Damn Joe Joyce is one tough motherfecker, Dubois just didn’t want anymore of that jab..
20 seconds off of £750
Could tell he was done in the corner before that round
Given how often you see boxers fighting on when they’re covered in blood, that looks a bit weak. Easy for me to say though
Aren’t fights usually stopped by a doctor if an eye is completely closed?
Of course it’s easy to say, but if he’s in this game to win then he would have to take much more than that. Now he’s going to get his heart questioned every time.
Joyce and his Jab pretty much controlled the fight. Well played, resilient as anyone I've seen aswell. DDD's eye was a right mess and that last shot fully connected with it, was worried from the minute he sat down in his corner before the fight.
Big BIGGG Juggernaut
Honestly though that fight was European level

I think it was all them jabs he eat messed up his head rather than just a closed eye.
I got this one completely wrong. I thought Dubois would steamroll Joyce.
Im not going to get carried away and dismiss dubois and overhype Joyce but this is heavyweight boxing. Both fighters have more to give.

Gutting that
I thought Dubois was very poor. Didn’t have any defence to Joyce’s jab and twice when he had him on the ropes, he had no stamina to back up the initial shot. I don’t think Joyce is anywhere near good enough for the elite level
I agree. To be honest, it looked like he had stage fright before the eye started closing
Wounding
In fairness if you've got a bloody nose/mouth or cuts below the eye its not as bad as that injury. I agree it doesn't look great to stop fighting cos of that but it did look pretty nasty.
When your corner has to gee you up after a couple rounds you know it’s not good. Really poor, it’s a shame but fair play to Joyce.
No desire to see either of these at the world level though.
What about ODH saying he'd beat GGG without a problem. I know its a piss take but with amount of gear he's sniffing, maybe he actually believes it?
