    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.

    Its just funny seeing all this exact same stuff again after the build up to the Parker fight, just doesn't have the same impact anymore.
