    He got dominated by Dubois but he did land a good shot that had Dubois stunned for a bit despite getting hurt early.
    I think Joshua's best chance to win is to come forwards and make it a firefight rather than try to dance around Dubois with his hands down but even then I think his chances are at best 50/50.

    Go in there, step into Dubious and close his eyes and pray

    Why can't he fight like Lennox Lewis or Wladimir Klitschko?

    It was a severe beat down from start to finish, I struggle to see how AJ wins the rematch.

    He has a chance, but I’d still favor Dubois again, since Joshua doesn’t seem that hungry for the sport anymore.

    Took him years to finally get over Ruiz, this will send him into a complete meltdown

    Seriously, he took some heavy shots and his chin will never recover

    Daniel stops him in 2 rounds

    Dubious would probably chin Wlad to be fair. Big useless robot who clinched midgets for a living till Fury slapped him into retirement.

    Assuming his chin isn't completely finished by now, I'd say he still has a decent chance. Rocked Dubois right before getting slumped and had he kept his hands up he may just have finished him

    That was a brutal fight and loss for Joshua tonight and we all know confidence issues have been a bane on his career,I honestly can’t see how he comes back from a loss like that to go back in with Dubois in a rematch and beat him !

    I'd give him a 30 percent chance he hurt Dubois in the 5th round and looked like he might of possibly KO'ed Dubois before he walked into a counter shot. Joshua never recovered from the 1st knockdown and had bambi legs for the rest of the fight it's a miracle he made it to the 5th round TBH.

    Joshua needs to hurt Dubois early and not let Dubois assert himself early.

    I still think he has the superior skills to beat DDD, but he doesn't have the mentality for it anymore. He's a businessman posing as a fighter now while Dubois still has that hunger, that dog in him and is only improving with each fight while Joshua is getting worse.

    I don't think Joshua has that hunger to be able to turn it around again. His time at the top is over if Dubois can beat him, then others can too.

    I doubt that, judging by your post, you are just a Wlad hater so no point discussing

    Joshua has a little chance because this is heavyweight boxing and strange things happen. But it's nothing like 50/50.
