how good is this /Dubois kid He seems shockingly slow, but boy jaysus he just looks so heavy handed. He seems to have a the touch of death. Is there anything behind the rumours that he dropped AJ in sparring?
He’s an unbelievable prospect with his young age. I don’t think he’s slow. He’s about as fast as you’d expect at his size. He hits incredibly hard, puts his punches together really well. He gets hit quite easily but he ate bombs from Lartey so I think he has a solid chin from what I’ve seen. He’s also very very fan friendly with his style in the ring. I love the guy. Think he’d smoke Joyce in six.
he’s a fantastic prospect. I’d put him in with anyone right now especially the likes of Fury who wouldn’t hurt him. but you hit the nail on the head, he gets hit far too much, he couldn’t afford to ship them shots against Wilder or Joshua but at the same time can he handle their power? Dubois for me is a top 10 heavyweight already, he’s getting held back to on his own detriment. Look at Tyson, if you’re good enough you’re old enough. Tetteh was a step down from Lartey no matter what the rankings say.
Yep was a pointless fight mate. A record padding fight for someone who doesn’t need that. He needs a big fight now. Takam would be logical since he’s signed with Top Rank but even that is not a “big” fight anymore since Chisora done him.
Dubois is 22 years old ffs..there is no rush. I don’t have a problem if Warren gives him some casual friendly splatter jobs in between good fights. We had a good one in Gorman only 2 months ago and he’s fighting again in December- hopefully Frank can get a good opponent, then it’s job done for the year and very good progress made.
Maybe he could get someone decent to defend his Commonwealth Title against as there's no-one really willing to fight him for the British apart from Price and I don't think that woud be a bad fight for Dubois next.
Probably another knock-over job in December then they really need to start putting some thought into his matchmaking! Tetteh was absolutely awful they should be ashamed tbh.
Age is irrelevant. You can’t constantly say to us he knocked out “Joshua in sparring” and “he’s the biggest puncher in world boxing” and come fight week mention every big heavyweights name but then keep feeding him cans. Even if you want to protect him a bit get him Washington, Hammer, Chisora, Breazeale, all top 20 who he should beat comfortably.
The old adage see how he reacts when he’s been hit, I remember Tom Little saying Daniel quit in sparring with Martin Bakole, there must have been some kind of truth in it has it was never denied, so maybe he is vulnerable when hit himself. Poor opponent last night though in truth
Just like Joshua He looks like a machine steam rolling opponents. But what happened to AJ when he got hit. Hope Dubois has a better chin.
