    Nothing wrong with saying prayers before war. Usyk did not say the words you quote. Usyk should win but Dubois has the punchers chance.

    He can but not early and must be careful because DDD can punch.

    I don’t like the way Dubois reacts when he gets hit. I think we will get a knockout either way.

    Usyk will use that jab to set up his straight left, won't really need to worry about ''jabbing his head off''

    I made the mistake of betting on Usyk to ko Joshua in their second fight. Not again. Usyk by wide decision though he may survive a few rocky moments.

    Every HW has a punchers chance but this should be stopped by USYK BEFORE THE 9th

    I just see Usyk killing him with an accumulation of perfectly placed punches

    FTR, I do not like this fight for Usyk. He's facing a much younger high risk low reward mandatory challenger who is much bigger than him who is easily one the top 5 hardest punchers in the division who hits ridiculously hard with both hands, is well schooled, has an excellent and very powerful jab, has good timing and puts his shots together well, is a really good finisher, who contrary to what many say is actually pretty fast and will be extremely motivated by the fact he stands to win three belts in one fell swoop.

    He sure as hell doesn't look slow at all here :facepalm:

    Usyk is a year older, has been inactive for another year, and I don't care how mentally strong he is he has to be feeling disappointed and discouraged after having the Belly fight fall through numerous times after chasing it so hard all year.

    Also, the fact Dubois struggled with Lerena last time out is misleading because he obviously suffered a serious knee injury and only one of those KDs can be considered legit. And he still came back to knock out Lerena who is a very good fighter senseless despite the injury.

    Dubois is an extremely dangerous high risk low reward savage punching much bigger opponent who Usyk will receive little credit for beating even if he looks great doing it :facepalm:

    What about Dubois hurting Usyks body in the first 3 rounds ?

    Usyk is a heavyweight champion.

    Usyk will get as much credit if he beats Daniel Dubois today as Tyson Fury would get if he was fighting Dubois today. And, if he loses, he'll get the same ridicule Tyson Fury would get for losing to Daniel Dubois.

    Dubois isn't unbeaten. Dubois barely survived his last fight.

    Nobody gave a damn when Deontay Wilder gave up weight to everyone he faced during his title run. Nobody cares if Usyk does, either.

    Usyk is a heavyweight champ. It goes with the territory.

    He's favored to win and he should win.

    Since they're heavyweights, though, there's just a better chance power will play a factor in an upset. In the lighter weights, a no-hoper is pretty much a no-hoper. That's why the heavyweight division brings more drama.

    Probably around 4 to 5 pm our time. The main three matches Fiodor Cherkashyn vs. Anauel Ngamissengue, Dmytro Mytrofanov vs. Hamzah Sheeraz and Denis Berinchyk vs. Anthony Yigit are pretty solid.

    No he won't

    As said, Dubois suffered a serious knee injury and was a badly compromised version of himself from that moment on. He voluntarily took a knee twice because he was a peg-leg cripple not because he was dropped three times

    Nobody gives a damn about that elongated PBC/Showtime mafia manufactured bum from Alabama, period. Other than sex pest you that is :lol:


    He's a giant with the wingspan of an albatross who has forged a 46 fight career knocking out slug slow unskilled easy to hit lead-footed bums. Granted he punches like a mule and is very dangerous, though.
