    Dubois has improved a lot in recent fights and I do think he does better 2nd time around, but as long as Usyk hasn't gotten old and is close to the fighter we saw last time out, this should be a decisive win again for Usyk.

    I think the first 4-5 rounds will decide if it will be a UD or a TKO . First rounds will decide if usyk is able to beat dubois regulary or if team usyk will be forced to sound the alarm .

    Sure . Thats why dubois got unfortunetly but suddenly sick a day or two before fighting parker , with dubois loosing to parker usyk would need to face him and not dubois for undisputed .

    I expect Usyk to win again but Dubois is younger, confident, and very dangerous. I'm rooting for Usyk but hope Dubois goes the distance and gets some kind of redemption and a moral victory. Would not be shocked though if Dubois wins.

    I was really looking forward to the Parker fight before he dropped out

    Usyk already knows about the low blows but if dubious can get away with using the head butting strategy that worked so well against Hrgovic then that could totally changed everything

    Against Dubois, I felt that in the face of some some decline and in anticipation of engaging Fury for the first time, Usyk came out more planted and punching with greater authority - perhaps even more so after the low blow raised his ire.

    Accent on a more aggressive approach appeared to blossom that much more when he did finally fight Fury. It will be interesting to see how Usyk chooses to start out against Dubois the second time around.

    Usyk could opt for an eye for an eye….but to date he has proven that he is absolutely not that type of fighter.

    I hope the ref is fair in regards to the fouls that Dubois practises and has basically admitted to.

    It wasn’t just THE low blow that felled Usyk, Dubois threw plenty before and after that fact.

    Fortunately, he abstained from head butts in fight 1 but he may very well weaponise that elongated nut of his in the rematch.

    I think a lot of people are making too much of Dubois learning to headbutt and low-blow more aggressively. Nothing Usyk hasn't seen before, and I don't expect much of a problem.

    Exactly. Dubios is no Fury. I expect Usyk to make a statement with a round 7 KO

    But it would’ve been that much more of a problem if the ref hadn’t ruled a low blow in the first fight -

    id rather see Kabayel. Learn if the whole “he’s weak to the body” thing is really true about Usyk. Thats always Kabayel’s strategy anyway, but against a guy who is allegedly weak to body shots? Kabayel would walk into that ring with a personal vendetta against Usyk’s liver.

    It would show once and for all if he is a little vulnerable to the body, or is it just a myth?

    We will never see the fight. I'm not saying usyk is dodging him, but he hasn't long left. I think he may even retire after Dubois, as there are apparently talks about some mma match with Paul lol

    Usyk better know what's he doing. Because if the undisputed world champion and some people's goat loses to a Disney kid in an mma fight? That will look terrible

    I hope the mma talk is nonsense.

    Well as already mentioned in Rummys vid and posts here. Dubois is most definitely an improved fighter since their first bout. Other than time possibly catching up with Usyk, he's ALWAYS 100%...both mentally & physically, we all KNOW what's coming with him...and HE knows what's coming with Dubois 2.0...

    Early doors I can definitely see the 2.0 Dubois confidence & improvement coming into some play, but I honestly don't think it'll be enough. And once we hit midway through the fight I can see Dubois confidence and desire tailing off, if so, that'll be the beginning of the end for him...

    It's still so fresh in my mind in the first bout, when he was on one knee, very, very, clearly hearing and seeing the ref's fingers gesticulating the count, and Dubois timed it to perfection to rise at the perfect time so as to just get counted out...he most certainly could've made the count and carried on had he wanted too....he didn't.


    SO, i think Dubois gets overwhelmed again here, I think Usyk is Dubois bogeyman.

    Of course Dubois can win the fight. He is after all in his athletic prime. Whilst Usyk is a 38 year year old man.

    Usyk could get injured in the ring or he could be carrying something into the fight.

    Even having said all that the probability here of a Dubois win is less than 15% and taking the rematch was not a great move for him and its very likely he gets beat again.
