    Absolute non-fight. Usyk already out skilled and made Dubious quit. This + the fact Usyk only fights once, maybe twice a year tops and we've got the division becoming held up / stagnant again. Parker and Kabayel deserve their shots.

    Kabayel is the better fight

    Usyk is 38 and slowing down. He's ripe for an upset. I still favor him here, but I give it a reasonable possibility that Dubios knocks him out.

    I dislike Usyk fanboys as much as you do but I don’t think Dubois takes a dive. He just mentally broke/had an adrenaline dump after he got denied a legit bodyshot.

    Usyk better doesn’t let Eeyore weaken his legs is all I am saying.

    Would have preferred Parker or Kabayel because like many others have said these rematches are getting boring. but it's not a bad fight. Dubois has improved so may do better. But still expecting a clear Usyk victory.

    Lets hope there's a quality undercard to make it a good summer event.

    Counting DDD out is stupid. He's more mature, more experienced and a lot better than he was 2 years ago. Usyk on the other hand is older. Would that be enough for Dubois to beat him?

    Pointless rematch. Usyk outlanded Dubois in every round of their right, KO'ing him in the 9th. As for the low blow, Dubois has a disturbing tendency to throw low blows. He did the exact same thing in his fight with AJ as he did with Usyk, he threw an obvious low blow, the ref called him on it, the fight had to be paused and AJ was given time to recover. Dubois would have likely done the same thing, with the same outcome, against Parker if he hadn't pulled out of that fight at the last minute when he realized what he was up against.

    Dubois was setup to lose in Poland for sure. That’s what they brought him in for.

    I would have preferred Kabayel or Parker fight, but understand why Usyk wants Dubois. Double undisputed, Dubois called him out in the ring, etc. etc. etc.
    Considering Usyk ballooned up to 110 kg post Fury 2, I really do think Usyk has one fight left in him before retirement or a homecoming exhibition.

    Parker and Kabayel still have at least 3-4 years at a high level so they will definitely get their shots. Considering how we rarely we saw the best fighting the best at heavyweight even a few years ago, I feel very privileged to see good fights being made again.

    how do you know Usyk ballooned up to 120 kg? That is 260 lbs. He does not look anywhere near as heavy.
