That really is peak condition for him! He normally looks like this: please log in to view this image I can't see how Babic can go into competitive fights with that output and openness, though. Got away with it against Little, but took quite a few big shots and expended so much energy.
Much improved performance from Conor Benn, but he took far too many shots. Formella clearly couldn't hurt him, but a less powderpuff puncher might've got some joy out of that. No questioning the German's ability to take a punch, though. Took some really spiteful punishment and barely wobbled once.
Dubois v Joyce could be decent this weekend. Apparently Tyson v Roy Jones is basically a sparring session. Short rounds and no judges. Odd.
It’s a nice novelty to have a fight with two boxers more than their own families have heard of that we aren’t expected to lay out £15 for.
They’ve ****ed up making the Tyson fight PPV and the proper fight free. They should have bundled the 2 together and they’d have had decent figures imo. Not complaining like. No chance I’ll stay up and pay for that.
2 minute rounds and told to not gonna try knock each other out lol. Gonna be epic @captain wrong Looking forward to Dubois vs Joyce though.
Nothing to write home about on the undercard though, unfortunately. I was hoping for something worth watching, as it'll be on at roughly the same time as the West Brom v Sheffield Utd game.
If it goes past 6/7 rounds I’d fancy him to get a boring points victory. I think Dubois will stop him though.
Didn't realise Joe Joyce was 35 - not a lot of time left for him to make an impact as a professional so he will want to impress. Whether he can is a different story. Not sure I can be bothered to watch Tyson vs Jones - will wait for Khan vs Brook if I want to watch a novelty fight.
I give him a chance, as he can take a shot and we’ll find out whether Dubois can or not. However, I suspect that his very predictable ‘walk them down’ style will make him too easy to hit and Dubois will level him at some point. It’s an interesting fight though and not the foregone conclusion some punters seem to think it is.
