Alexander Povetkin vs Daniel Dubois

Povetkin

 

Sasha is just more all around, and him handling a punch better just seals it from a betting perspective.

 

More Povetkin

 

We probably haven't even seen Dubois' prime yet...

I think the Pov that fought Joshua (where he fought really well) would probably just squeak past current Dubois, but it'd be close.

 

Dubois has a good chance, powerful jab and devastating combinations, but Povetkin should bust him up, beating him to the punch and being too fast, quick counters over the top and being a step ahead.

 

Povetkin lights him up. Dubois' defence is dubious.

 

Good fight.

Pov stops him in the later mids.

 

Povetkin by cruel KO in 6.

 

Dubois could spark him out

Daniel already has more achievements than Povetkin by winning a legitimate world title

We also possibly haven't seen Dubois in his prime yet

 

Leaning towards Povetkin here, he is tough and a tricky boxer with decent power. I think he will beat Dubois to the punch and do enough to keep Dubois from landing a lot of his shots eventually demoralising Dubois to a UD or later TKO.

 

I actually think Dan could tuck up, box behind his jab and bust Sasha up before stopping him late. And I mean 10-12 late. I dont think we have seen Dan's prime yet and I already think he's an underrated boxer. His footwork is not fast but its always inch perfect.

 

But you've seen him getting knocked down in round 1 by Lerena, and getting KOed by Joyce and Usyk, haven't you?
And you definitely didn't see him winning an Olympic gold medal...

 

Yeah I did see that

Did you read the thread title?

Prime for prime

So would you say the examples you used above were fights involving a prime Dubois??
