    What I think about that is irrelevant.

    How about his rating when colliding with a wall of blubber?

    I am very interested in it actually, irrelevant to others as it may be.

    I don't really have an opinion. I think it might have been a lowblow, but also think it was close enough to being legit as to make no difference.

    No it wouldn’t, styles make fights simple as.

    Usyk was again hit with a clear low shot, you can complain all you want about it that was a low blow - and nothing can get more embarrassing then Fury getting dropped by an MMA fighter in a boxing fight, period.

    I think Dubois hits much harder and better than Miller and that he's going to win. The only question is about whether DD can handle the incoming.

    It's Dubois heart/chin that's the issue here. He will break and lose a war of attrition if he doesn't stop Miller early.

    While there might be some BASIC thruth in it , its mostly a meanigless phrase .

    When 'style makes fights' would be the fundamental datum in hw boxing every hypothetical discussion here aka 'xxx has beaten yyy so he would destroy zzz ' Is completely ******ed by definition since ... - style makes fights !

    In this case also your own argument 'fury was dropped by an mma guy' is also meaningless .

    In reality OF COURSE it would be a further reputation blow for usyk should miller indeed beat dubois , the same it would be awkward for fury should the 'mma guy who dropped fury' be destroyed in future by lets say zhang .

    Dubois reminds me a lot of Frank Bruno.

    Apart from the fact Bruno probably had more heart than him.

    Every time Bruno stepped up at world level vs a live dog he got stopped. I think it’s the same thing with Dubois.

    If you look at Dubois best win what do you have?

    People here have Dubois down as some kind of big man in the division. But he doesn’t have a decent win on his resume. Although the same can be said of Miller, I haven’t ever seen him quit.

    Who's the best opponent Miller beaten? An over the hill Lucas Browne?

    Dubois has very good boxing ability, all he needs is discipline and not get caught up in a dogfight with Miller.

    Dubois has to stick, move, control the stamina, keep the distance and don't let Miller lean on him and he'll win a comfortable decision.

    And when has Dubois ever shown the ability to do that for 10 rounds?

    Clear? The low blow rule is Under the belt line not on it. Most of the time Fighters have their shorts up so high to hide the navel unless your massive baby miller, who could not hide his even if a semi truck was parked in front of him LMAO
