Thanks craig!

OMG, what happened? Did Dubois take a knee because his eye was closed, and then quit? He was winning the fight. Very disappointed in both of them. Dubois was the better fighter, and was ahead on the cards. But I don't rate either one of them for a mandatory. Slow, pawing, no snap in their punches.

Yoda would be competitive with them. So would Fa. Parker would KO either one of them because he's so much faster than either one of them.

I'm shocked. The top three (AJ, Wilder, Fury) are at the top level. I'd rate Parker the next best heavyweight out there.

Joyce knocks out Dubois in ten

In a much anticipated showdown between unbeaten heavyweights, WBC #11, WBO #11, IBF #13 and Olympic silver medalist Joe Joyce (12-0, 11 KOs) used his jab to break down, then knock out WBO #2, WBC #7 Daniel Dubois (15-1, 14 KOs) on Saturday night behind closed doors at the historic Church House in London, next to Westminster Abbey. Joyce connected repeatedly with the jab in round one and kept landing the jab all night. Dubois connected with most of the hard shots, but Joyce’s jab closed his left eye. The end came in round ten. Joyce landed another jab right on the eye and Dubois took a knee where he was counted out. Time was :36.

Dubois took a knee from a jab??? And then quit? These guys got it wrong. It was Dubois who landed the jab all night. Joyce's jab was marginal at best, and how he closed Dubois' eye is beyond me. Mostly pawing jab with nothing on it.

Yeah I watched it with my old man and I said to him, it's a good domestic scrap but neither of them are world class. It was a very watchable intriguing fight but Joyce's jab was rubbish, almost like a pitapat but it closed Dubois eye. And then in the tenth one flush and he just didn't fancy it. Crazy. I think I agree with you I'd fancy Parker and Junior Fa against both. Was the stream ok? I watched it on btsports here.

I don't think he bottled it because his eye closed, but you'd think he'd be very disappointed with how it ended.

Daniel Dubois Vs. Joe Joyce – Live Action
November 28, 2020

In a shocking upset, Joe Joyce (12-0, 11 KOs) stopped previously unbeaten heavyweight Daniel Dubois (15-1, 14 KOs) in the 10th round on Saturday night at the Westminster House, in London, England.

Joyce, 35, wore down the stronger inexperienced 23-year-old Dubois with his power jabs and closed his left eye. In the 10th, Dubois took a knee and stayed down from eating too many jabs. In other words, Dubois basically quit.

It would be interesting to see what Dubois’ promoter Frank Warren’s next move will be. Does he push for a rematch or try and rebuild Dubois against lesser fighters, which is basically the type of guys he’s been fighting his entire four-year pro career.

Had Dubois gotten some experience against B-level fighters, he might have had a chance tonight, but he’s faced way too many C-level guys that he’s padded his inflated record with. Tonight, Dubois paid dearly for all these years of facing weak opposition.

Unbeaten junior middleweight contender Hamzah Sheeraz (12-0, 8 KOs) defeated Guido Nicolas Pitto (26-8-2, 8 KOs) by a 10th round knockout.

The referee suddenly jumped in and halted the fight prematurely in the 10th after Sheerez landed a series of shots.

Pitto probably would have made it out of the round, but he was taking a shellacking anyway so it’s no big deal that the contest was stopped suddenly. The time of the stoppage was at 1:10 of the 10th.

Jack Catterall decisions Abderrazak Houya

Highly ranked #1 WBO 140-lb contender Jack Catterall (27-0, 13 KOs) stayed unbeaten with a lopsided 10 round points decision over little known Abderrazak Houya (14-3, 2 KOs). The score was 99-90.

Catterall dominated from start to finish in dominating Houya with jabs and counter shots. It was an impressive performance from Catterall with him knocking down Houya in the sixth round. Three rounds later, Catterall dropped Houya a second time.

In 2021, Catterall will be fighting for the WBO light-welterweight title against the winner of the Jose Ramirez vs. Josh Taylor unification fight. Taylor has already made it known that he’ll defend the WBO title against Catterall rather than vacating it to move up to 147.

David Adeleye destroys Danny Whittaker

Undefeated heavyweight knockout artist David Adeleye (4-0, 4 KOs) made short work of Danny Whittaker (4-2) in stopping him in the second round.

After an uneventful first round, the big punching Adeleye knocked Whittaker down two times in the second. The massacre was then halted at 2:09 of round two.

Jack Massey decisions Mohammad Ali Bayat Farid

Cruiserweight prospect Jack Massey (17-1, 8 KOs) defeated Mohammad Ali Bayat Farid (16-2-1, 16 KOs) by an eight-round decision with a 79-74 score.

Here's a short video clip of Dubois quitting. In the clip Dubois, yes Dubois, hits Joyce with a jab, then takes a few steps and then a knee. And then quits:
