    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

    Dubois uses his jab to land his offense, without it he struggles. All Usyk has to do is take that away and Dubois won't know what to do. I mean he has a pretty good jab, but Usyk is a consummate pro with a tonne of experience, even aged he should be able to nullify the jab.

    Unless Dubois has added some more elements to his game, his best chance is headbutts, low blows, hitting on the break and after the bell and hoping the ref backs him.

    One of the most unhinged, baseless, and deranged conspiracy theories I've seen in the sport, which is quite the feat in a sport that is full of so many members of the tin foil hat brigade.

    The low blow was literally the only moment in the fight that Usyk wasn't making him look like a total novice. If they address that, then the fight doesn't sell because it looks like a total mismatch.

    Frank has played a blinder managing to leverage Dubois back into this position and marketing him as Dubois 2.0 because he beat Miller, who is not world level, Hrgovic, who was headbutted into submission and stopped because of a cut, and the ghost of Joshua, who fights like he has PTSD.

    Dubois has got more chance of figuring out the square root of 743 than he has of figuring out Usyk, but fair play to Frank, he knows how to do his job.

    He was talking on Proppa Boxing (and sorry, but they crack me up) about how Dubois never gives Charles any credit, or says anything nice about him. They even showed a clip in which a reporter was trying to get a nice word for Charles and Dubois just diverted things to talking about his dad.

    Maybe something is going on, there?

    **** me. I understand this big fella (see below) far better than I do “right on cue” Daniel Dubois.

    DDD has to be related to Abby Normal in some way.

    There are several theories what was on this cross

    Hey mate, religious fervour is one of the most powerful forces on the planet! I wouldn't take it lightly.

    Its actually crazy to see how Usyk went from looking the most lost in ring I've ever seen him to completely flip in the following round after that. He clearly is strong on his faith and takes a lot of psychological strength from it.

    Also I know Fury was getting clowned for the showboating, but I reckon that is his equivalent, the showboating helps build his own psychological strength in a fight.
