Oleskandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois - August 26 // Poland (TNT PPV)

Aye mate first time we saw Joshua do a funny dance - Whyte gave it the first tap on the counter before fat Ruiz smashed the egg all over.

 

I’m not convinced that we will get Joshua vs Whyte. I think that Whyte will be coming to try and take Joshua’s head off, so they will go for the safer option vs Kabayel.

 

Manny Charr's phone may be ringing soon the way this is heading.

 

the only intrigue is to see if Usyk can actually properly knock out a real heavyweight

 

Terrible fight to put on PPV.

 

Looking forward to the fight. It’s quite intriguing if nothing else.
I do wonder if Usyk has the power to hurt him.

 

Not sure he does. Hopefully Dubois can stick it on him. I’d be more confident he could pull it off if he was being trained by McGuigan though rather than Don Charles.

 

Meh.

Dubios will get tuned up here.

I'll watch of course but I was never really interested in this one when it was first rumored.

 

Usyk must be knocking on 37 years old soon. He’s a pumped up cruiserweight, inactive and must be starting to slow down a bit.

Dubois hasn’t got the brains to over think this task like AJ did. I’ve been saying this from before it was announced, but if Don Charles can just drill him to get the centre of the ring, pump that solid jab that he has got and punch with Usyk he has a genuine chance of landing and he has the power.

Anybody saying it’s not an interesting fight is either lying or doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

 

Interesting last paragraph. Question for you, does my synopsis below mean I don’t know what I’m talking about?

I think DDD in this fight is a mandatory challenger with nothing more than a punchers chance at best. I doubt he will land anything meaningful on Usyk. I’m expecting a cagey start, but then a one sided boxing lesson and most likely a later rounds stoppage or a wide unanimous decision in an uncompetitive fight. Throw in the fact that he has recently changed trainers, which wasn’t his own decision, plus he looked very mediocre and also fragile in his last one.

In my humble opinion Dubious has little to no chance against Usyk, however as he’s one of our own I’ll be hoping he can cause the upset.

 

He looked very fragile against Lerena. I think his team know deep down that he is massively up against it in this one. Usyk wins this on experience alone.

DramaShow let’s hope AJ does box 3 times this year as you keep assuring everyone he will. No time for backing out now after you gave it back to some posters who were just questioning if Joshua would be as active as his team were claiming this year.

 

Dubois took a real pounding on the fight thread.

 

Wasn’t that because Darch took a dive? Lerena put Dubois down 3 times so he was hardly trying to lose.

 

This will bomb hard. Difficult to sell ppv's when nobody believes the opponent to the champion can win.
