    Had to laugh at fat knacker lardy arsed Trevor Bryan boasting at what he was going to do to the "glorified amateur" Daniel Dubois then watching Dubois left hook him into oblivion.

    Yeah, great result for Bubois.

    Did anyone see the body shot that Riakporhe won with last night? Sickening. If you've ever received one of those hits then you know just how nasty they are.

    Joyce now fighting Christian Hammer after Joseph Parker pulled out... great.

    On a better note, a LHW unification fight this weekend with Berbetiev vs Smith.

    Usyk is the current unified champ at 35, Wlad was champ until he was 40, there have been champs in their 40's.

    Dubois lost a fight at 22 he has plenty of time to recover. There's no need to be in your prime that early.

    Joshua, Fury, Wilder ect only became champs in their late 20's. Wlad lost 3 fights early in his career and dominated for like 10 years after improving.

    No, you weren't. You said Joyce exposed Dubois. He didn't expose him of anything. He beat him, he didn't "expose him".

    If you had said from the beginning that he simply beat Dubois, I'd have no issue, but you said "exposed", which is something else entirely.

    Being schooled and quitting is being exposed Tash

    Dubois was favourite and he got systematically taken apart.. Exposed

    I would have done the same thing. He could have experienced a career threatening injury if he continued.

    Usually being exposed means you sort of have a positive reputation before hand for being something you're not and then your "true" self is revealed.

    Maybe you have a point about the quitting, but it was a sensible decision. It wasn't for a title shot, he was 22, he still have many years before he'll be expected to enter his prime.

    He had no reason to take risks at that age.
