    If Gatti had beaten Baldomir then Cotto it would make sense.
    Same here.

    Dubois would destroy Parker anyway.

    After Usyk KOes Dubois for the 2nd time, I want to see Itauma vs Dubois.

    If so then Parker should fight Kabayel, he is ready and willing to fight the best...

    Not happy but it was coming
    Usyk wins a decision

    Although I think Usyk beats parker, it's a disgrace that Dubois gets next shot. F..k his paper title and selling this as undisputed. Usyk already is undisputed

    If parker and agit fights and the winners meet? Then I would certainly be happy

    I think we never before saw such a boring and meaningless undisputed fight . I will not pay a cent for ppv since we know for sure usyk will win this while in reality he is ducking parker and especially kabayel .

    I absolutely do not like it

    I really can't get excited for this. Parker or Kabayel would have been much tougher and interesting challenges. The first fight wasn't competitive, probably Usyk's easiest fight at heavyweight. So what's the point? To see if Dubois will quit from a jab again?

    I have a feeling Dubois deliberately avoided Parker because they were worried Parker could be a banana skin and ruin the big pay day vs Usyk.

    Not really that enthusiastic about this fight honestly it's Usyk 3rd rematch vs a British fighter who he'd already beaten comprehensively the 1st time.

    I'd rather a new opponent, a new challenging style, and a non British opponent and I say that as a British guy.

    And I could could go back in time and bang Jessica Simpson when she was a 10.

    Usyk by wide UD. DDD won't quit this time, but it won't matter.

    I'd rather see Usyk fight Kabayel or Parker honestly. But I do get why Usyk is pursuing Dubois, it's for that IBF strap so make it happen. Undisputed Once again.

    Dubois chose Parker as a voluntary defence, he didn't have to fight him. They wouldn't have chosen Parker as an opponent in the first place if they thought he could be a banana skin.

    Well Dubois climbed the ring and called Usyk out and Usyk said let’s do it right then and there. So I can see why Usyk is not backing down now and fighting Dubois. I think it’s personal to him. Also he has to wipe out the bodyshot fiasco. If he doesn’t beat Dubois clearly a second time that bodyshot will always be hanging over his head.
