    I'm just waiting on the main event, thought that was Scott Quigg in the ring for a minute.

    This card has been quite poor!

    Card is shocking but it was shocking on paper too in fairness. I'll take a great main event with a poor card on non-PPV over the ****e Sky have been serving up on non-PPV this year all day long.

    Yea.

    Carl Frampton is hard to listen to. I hate how English or ‘uk’ commentary teams are such cheerleaders. David ‘I concur’ Haye. Unbearable

    Anybody staying up for the battle of the two de-clawed cats at 1PM. They have some balls charging twenty quid for that.

    This should be very interesting. He got rid of Gorman very easily, I wonder will he do the same to the bigger man Joyce.

    Dubois in or around the fifth for me. Hurts Joyce to the body and takes him out.

    That’s my take on it too. Round 4 or 5

    He's still unbeaten and a very good boxer. He's young in his professional career.

    They’re enormous! Look at the size of Dubois’ chest!!!

    I honestly can't call this, could be a round 1 knockout for Dubois, could be a later round ko for either or even a points win for either.

    Yeah i get all that but and maybe its just me but you can’t really be up and coming at 35... probably only has 2 or 3 years left in career

    Joyce looks like he's wearing flip-flops and socks.

    Excellent start by Joyce. Dubois’ face very red already. He didnt throw much at all despite Joyce being open on at least 3 occasions. Body shot is on. No power hits yet. Here we go.

    Great round for Joyce, hit with the jab almost every time. He's got a significant reach advantage so this offers him the opportunity to keep it at distance.

    Even now. Nothing too clean landed yet though and I’m impressed at Joyce’s ability to evade. He’s using his jab well but no commitment

    Seems like Dubois has timed Joyce's jab, not getting hit anywhere near as much as in the first. Surely only a matter of time before Dubois catches him.

    One apiece, smartest fighter I'd say Dubois has ever faced.

    Joyce round for me. Dubois breathing heavily and looking unsure of himself

    2-1 JJ just about. DDD very little head movement and spent the round eating jabs after having an early flurry.
