    He is a wonderful fighter. To come back the way he did after his rocky moments against Fury and almost stop him and to come through that brutal round against AJ and come back and dominate him shows his heart. There are no problems with Usyk's ticker!!

    So, I don't tend to look too deeply into stare offs and press conferences and the like, and I certainly shouldn't when it comes to Dubois because he's an incredibly awkward dude. But all that shouting, the posing and then the obvious signs of being deflated when he got zero reaction?

    Gotta admit, it is making me feel even better about my prediction, and I've already been feeling pretty ****ing good about it. Ever since the fight got announced, I've said Dubois' newfound confidence would end up biting him in the ass. I think he'll come in hot, find no success with what has been working so well for him since their last fight, then be completely drained mentally by the end of the third when he realizes that Miller, Hrgovic and AJ were **** poor preparation for Usyk.

    Said it since the fight was rumored, gonna stick with it through fight week. I'm saying Usyk stops him around the mid rounds, probably even before the midway point.

    Not long now! :ggg

    ...oh, I think Usyk is having a kip on Saturday. Have been saying this since fight was made. History will prove me right or wrong as it always does...!

    I didnt read it that way. Pissed off with the Usyk chants, starts his own, zero fear in his eyes, zero doubt, even the little smirk shows how little fear he has. This might sound dumb, but I hope he hasn't overlooked Usyk! A little fear is essential, I hope he hasn't bought into his 'destroyer of men' narrative too deeply.

    What I would like you to do, start prepping on how Daniel Dubios sees life.

    What’s those questions gonna be?

    Start thinking about the youth.

    It's one of the universe's great japes that we do in fact have a world championship boxing judge named Cheatham.

    Back the youth, ask the questions the youth require to be asked.

    Usyk represents a certain demographic, a certain age bracket.

    I am backing the youth here man. Been backing Dan since the fight was made. So wasn't sure why you were making that point...

    Usyk will not blow his load trying to KO Dubois, so if Usyk wins by KO, it will be late round.

    Why did Dubois elbow Don Charles here? I'd like to elbow Charles right in the mush but it was peculiar behaviour.

    The British media, and in particular the Big Frank shills, as they have been doing for months haven't shut up about the low blow and have been doing their bit to try rattle Usyk and stress him out. Almost every single interview and you can see, as ice cold as he is, it's been working a bit.

    Not a single peep out of them about Usyk dominating the fight and stopping Dubois

    Nor a single peep from them about Dubois morphing into one of the dirtiest fighters in the sport since hooking up with Charles and Dubois punching Usyk low many times, punching Miller, AJ and Hrgovic low too, and literally billy goat butting Hrgovic at least 22 times and the fight being stopped because of cuts which in no way, shape or form were caused by the cuts and someone the British ref managed to miss all the headbutts. The fight should've gone to the cards but not a peep out of them about that

    Even that serial cheat from Oakland didn't butt Kessler as many times as that which is really saying something

    Nor a peep from the British media about round 1 ending 9 seconds early for Dubois vs Lerena when Dubois had touched down x 3, 2 voluntarily, after suffering a torn ACL

    And then the British ref, who allowed Dubois to hobble around the ring like a cripple for the next 2 rounds and see out the round where he'd been down x 3, jumping in and waiving the fight off AT THE BELL to end round 3 when Lerena had been hurt and dropped. Lerena wasn't out of it, the round was over, and he should, and would've if the roles were reversed and it was Dubois, sent Lerena back to his corner and given him a chance to recover.

    Usyk a little irked here after having to do all these interviews and answer all these questions from British media members and Big Frank shills
