Should get at least a point from here now

I must have missed that if he did! He looked very dejected after the fight, i think Joyce's ability to take the power punches totally broke Dubois' heart, he's got some work to do to come back from this and rebuild his confidence. I'm looking forward to seeing who they both fight next.

10 rounds was it? That's impressive in itself at that sort of age given the lay-off Tyson has had in particular. A draw seems slightly suspicious but is probably the best result, will be interesting to see what sort of sales it generated in the end.

Having never got in the ring i don't feel i can really criticise a fighter for refusing to continue when they're in that sort of shape. Looking at his eye you've got to wonder why his corner didn't pull him out before that, he can't have been able to see anything out of it, surely? Hopefully...

I think 'awful' is a bit much?

Quite a surprise that wasn't it? The consolation is that Joe Joyce is such a likeable guy you can't begrudge him a victory. I just hope Dubois cane come back from it and fulfill his potential...in the meantime maybe Joyce can pick up a title?

That's farcically late in the day to be announcing that, i reckon ppv sales were slow and they've decided to try something else to make sales.

Great result that, to pick up 5 from the last 3 games isn't too bad and sets us up for a nice run in December hopefully. Did we got back to 5 at the back to start today?

Totally agree, hopefully he's the real deal as that could mean years of having a top heavyweight from Britain on the back of the Fury-Joshua years too

Is anyone intending to watch this? I won't be but am interested to know if people will be shelling out for ppv and staying up? Even the big US fights aren't enough to have me staying up to beyond 3am these days, i'll watch Dubois-Joyce this evening and that'll be it.

Great result and just what was needed. Two clean sheets in a row and far fewer of the needless mistakes being made. I thought our centre halves dealt well with Moore this evening too.

About 45 points to stay up usually isn't it? We've a massive run of games in early December that we have to rack up the points with, the likes of Rotherham, Wycombe, Luton, Huddersfield should be targetted for wins there

We didn't concede through any of those, whether that's by luck or not i'm just saying that hopefully the team can take a positive from managing a clean sheet.

Not a great result but hopefully the clean sheet and absence of any massive bollocks being dropped will boost our confidence at the back a bit.

I hope i'm very wrong on this but i see Canelo beating him. Smith is very big for the weight but Canelo's something else. Considering the lack of fans for the past 9 months or so there have been (and will be) some pretty good fights haven't there?

The officals have been told to intervene if it builds beyond a 'heavy spar' so i doubt we're going to see anything resembling a proper tear up (which is a good thing given their ages). I'm far more interested in the Dubois vs Joyce match the following weekend, that really could be something...

I'd guess at 1992/1993 season too, i presume 'Morgan' is Steve Morgan? Im sure he was in my 94 Merlin sticker album but Babb was at Liverpool by then

I think other teams have shown that you can stay up, atleast in the short term (2-3 seasons). I cant see us managing more than 2-3 seasons at this level if groundsharing at St Andrews, if players do well they will inevitably move on and we will have to keep successfully replacing them. I suppose...

A draw in this would be fine, picking up the win against Reading really was a bonus. I think we will see O'Hare in for Shipley but not many (if any) other changes and none that id be particularly keen for. We could give Walker a bit more time on the pitch but Biamou was pretty good in the air...

We did a 'zombie experience' over in Sandwell last year, the entire area seemed to have really bought into the apocalyptic vibe
