    Disappointing.
    There are better more interesting fights to be made than a rematch against a guy that was knocked out by a jab.

    OK, so I'll take all of the slaughtering I'm gonna get here but Dan knocks him out this time. Based on nothing but a sneaking suspicion that Dubois is significantly better than anyone thinks now he has his ring persona and that every day that goes by, father time catches Usyk with another punch. Peak Usyk wins every second of every round against a fighter like Dan, but this one? I'm really not sure.



    Stands back, ducks, grabs coat, runs.....

    Yeah, will skip this one there are people more deserving then Dubious who failed miserably then just ducked Parker.

    If it happen in the UK, Ol' Fish Eyes will have crooked officials who will let Dubois hold, head butt and low blow.

    Dubois will refuse VADA testing and be full of PEDs.

    There will be a British stoppage by a dishonest British referee in favor of Dubois.

    I know a lot of people are pressed about this but Dubois is a tougher fight for Usyk than Parker. And it is for the undisputed belt.

    I'd fully expect Parker V Kabayel on the undercard or something.

    There's no dispute. Dubois is a paper champion. Usyk already beat him. His claim to be a champ is highly dubious. Especially against the guy that KOed him with a jab.

    Not denying he is a paper champion even though he is still champion somehow and we need to unify the belts, and I just really can't see Parker giving Usyk a harder time than Dubois.

    Dubois for me is on a better winning streak than Parker.

    Dubois could take this. Usyk is getting older, and Dubois is now more experienced than he was before. And has a rough and aggressive approach that seems a decent shot at imposing himself on a smaller opponent.

    I'd still bet on Usyk, but still.

    Usyk is a better opponent than Parker. Dubois may be the better opponent than Parker, certainly is rated higher. So who exactly ducked Parker to took on a bigger challenge?

    He pulled out of their scheduled fight due to an illness last minute and won't reschedule it. It's a duck for me

    Parker isn't a unification fight and there are no rewards for Dubois beyond legitimizing himself, but Dubois still signed. Parker is faster than Usyk, younger, more powerful. Usyk doesn't do everything better even when he's the superior fighter

    He was knocked out because he was tired after getting robbed of a legit brutal knockdown that had Usyk shaking on the floor like a puff.

    Disappointing, I had hoped Parker would get his shot, he's more deserving.

    But having said that, I think Dubois has improved and will do better 2nd time around. But Usyk will win again.
