    Friday. France. Friggin Canal+, bâtards! :cursing2:

    Moderate step up for the former amateur star, in his first twelve rounder. Yoka is two inches taller but Duhaupas enjoys a ½″ reach advantage. The latter has nearly 7x as many rounds worth of pro experience, but is also pushing 40 and in with a prime 28 year old.

    Feel like this fight has an English language audience who's interested given that Yoka gets a shout out on most ESPN+ broadcasts recently.

    I forgot that Duhaupas was so old, time and tide wait for no banana peel I guess, alors je pense que Yoka va faire le knockout.

    Yoka should mostly just be teeing off on him. Still, it’s a step up and those don’t always go to plan

    Duhaupas is washed up but if he shows up in good shape there's a decent chance he shatters that glass jaw.

    I hope Duhaupas is the one to destroy Yoka's manufactured hype. He's put on some very good fights and has shown a stellar chin of his own plus a will to push through anything.

    Being French, I waited for the fight with great impatience.

    Yoka is obviously a favorite thanks to his age and media importance but I wouldn't be overly surprised to see Duhaupas knock him out, even at 39.

    I think that with means worthy of the high level Duhaupas could have been world champion.

    Good step up for the young prospect . the frenchman may be past his best. But lets not forget the performances he put up against Wilder and Miller . the frenchmen put good performances.

    Good fight for the French fans.

    Always good to see a domestic dust up and yoka vs this guy or takam or tronche even would be good

    yoka via late stoppage

    Washed up? Did a global audience really ever see a prime Reptile? Was he really ever much better than he is now? He basically was introduced to 99% of fans losing to Wilder (as an already mid-30s guy with an unexceptional record, peaking with a mild upset over fellow mediocrity Chart (almost direct off being savaged by Sasha) ..with, still to date since then, his claim to fame being just doing kinda sorta vaguely okay in that and his two subsequent losses.

    I think if Yoka dominates we can attribute it to Duhaupas always having been tough but really no better than Euro level in the first place, rather than him being washed up to a degree that you'd give him a better chance were it the daisy-fresg version first seen by non-French eyes five years ago. :sisi1

    Well. Rice and Allen caused Yoka some problems. I don't think it's ridiculous to suggest that Duhaupas who's main claim to fame was his durability and toughness would have had a better chance at the upset 4-5 years ago. But yeah European level was always he ceiling and tbh I think that's Yokas too.

    Yoka has no chin whatsoever.

    France are gonna be ridiculed for glass jaws the second Yoka gets landed on by someone half decent.

    I'm not a Yoka fan and consider him the worst of the recent crop of heavyweight amateur stars getting disproportionately hyped, and eagerly look forward to his brutal exposure...but it'll come above that Duhaupas/Chart/Price/Allen level, IMO.

    Possibly. I just don't rule out an earlier than expected glass jaw shattering. We'll see!
