    Not sure if the headbutts caused the cuts.

    Always knew Hrgovic was overrated and thought Dubois would KO him late. That said it shocked me how easily Hrgovic could land his right hand on Dubois. Hrgovic performed better than what I expected.

    Dubois has the most confusing chin too. Took monster shots from Hrgovic over and over, but wrecked by smaller Usyks jab.

    I think it’s mental with Dubois. I seriously did think he was panicking in his corner after the first round but then he did come back into the fight.

    I think Hrgovic was too eager to land a right uppercut too early in the fight. Should have methodically keep working behind the jab and throw the straight right hand.

    I was surprised too though how well Dubois did handle Hrgovic’ punches.

    This is by far the best version of Dubois so far.

    He is a bit dirty though but he also was simply better then Hrgovic.

    Dubois is s big kid who has been learning on the job his whole professional career. He's learned how to face adversity during a fight and still comeback to win. Great qualities in a fighter. Hrgovic gassed terribly though.

    Hrgovic should have taken into a account that Dubois will win "by any means necessary", headbuts were there, but it is Hrgovic fault for not dodgin them, for allowing Dubois to get near him.

    He took some extremely powerful shots from Hrgovic.

    What impressed me the most, he ignored his corner, he ignored everyone.

    Big bopper

    Wait, "dirty" Daniel Dubois fouled somebody? Say it ain't so! Hitting after the bell ... low blows ... head butts ... feels like he's trying to unlock achievements in a video game or something.

    Probably....That same bull bar head of his also weathered about 100 straight rights without a mark to show for it.

    I think when he got laid prior to the Miller fight he got a lot of XP points and he was ready to level up. Then he selected Iron Chin and Indomitable Will in the tech tree.

    I recall the commentators on DAZN saying that the footage was reviewed and the cuts were caused by punches
