Usyk vs DuBois is a DuBois win possible?

He's hit Usyk on the chin, and Usyk took it. "Gunshy" is irrelevant.

 

You're 100% wrong here sir. He wasnt commiting fully to them shots. Like I said AJ should have won that if not crazy ******ed game plan.

 

Everybody thinks it's an upset until it happens, when it comes to things like this. I had an uncle, his name was Larry Rhodes. But he was nicknamed "Lonesome" Rhodes by admirers. A singer, and stringer, from way back, who bummed around the country until the unlikely event that a lady came directly to his jail cell one night and recorded him on a thingamajigyacallit machine for a local radio program that stole content from regular rando NPC types around the towns and small cities. It's what got him out of the jail cell early. His local celebrity became very much a national thing, such to the point that some of you might have even heard of him. Unlikely as it was, and as upsetting as it soon would be for some of the people enjoying his stories and his songs and his laughs and smiles, hanging on his every word. Now, maybe DuBois is really like my uncle Lonesome. But maybe he's more like some knob like his "friend" Senator Fuller, when he was pretending to be a hunter. Maybe he ain't no hunter. But maybe he is. Maybe he's a wily hunter, the likes of which media has never seen nor heard. The likes of which will take the country (Ukraine) by storm, and leave other countries who don't care completely unable to care still.

 

Rubbish.

 

You don't need a knock down to win! He holds 3 straps and out boxed, out manoeuvred and beat all the HWs he came up against so far. Ali was not a particularly hard hitter but what he made up for in skill, intelligence and punch accumulation made him one of the greatest. Get out of your armchair and watch a true pugilist fight, if you are just judging a fight by whether it ended in a KD then you are missing or failing to see all the skill and magnificence of what some of these fighters can do.

 

Absolutely. With a good trainer and discipline he has the punching power. I must be the only one who's looking forward to this matchup.

 

I'm not judging an entire fight on power. I'm just pointing out the irrefutable that USKY is featherfisted at HW.

 

Dubois looks to have about a snowflake's chance in hell of beating Usyk.

 

Fair point

 

Dubois has a chance.

But it's about the same chance I have of sweeping Beyonce off her feet and running away with her when she comes to Scotland next year.

Usyk takes him to school. Easy money

 

Dubois back from knee surgery fighting the best mover in the division? Questionable matchmaking.
A 100% Dubois has a puncher's chance for sure. You know he's not playing it safe like AJ.

 

Nah...Dubois get's clowned with relative ease.

 

Good to see Dubois has the balls to face Usyk, given how others like Tyson Fury have ducked him.

Usyk is vulnerable early if you put pressure on him as shown by Chisora’s performance. You need to unload in the early rounds and try and catch him with something.

Usyk is just observing for the first few rounds so isn’t as much of a threat in an attacking sense.

If Dubois goes into it to box, he is playing right into Usyk’s hands and will be badly beaten and stopped late.

Dubois is better off unloading early. He might get stopped earlier but it’s his only chance of victory.
