    Honestly astonishing how Dubois just keeps coming back after bad losses. Became champ after getting beat by Joyce. Becomes champ again after losing to Usyk by beating Hrgovic and then successfully defending it against AJ. Gets stopped by Usyk again and yet somehow grabs another title by beating Wardley. People have given Dubois crap over the years but he somehow keeps proving his doubters wrong time and again by showing up to win when it matters.

    It's a shame guys like dubious and even AJ don't train their jab enough or truly understand how fundamental a punch it is. It's the most important punch in boxing and would have changed so many fights for them if they used it properly. That Wardley fight early doors dubious shouldn't have done anything but jab till that quick overhand right slowed. To be fair dubious managed to use his feet and positioning to take it away mostly but atleast come behind his jab for his own offence as a caution.

    Anyone with a good jab can stop Dubois.

    Prime Fury jabs his nut off as he will AJ.

    Watching Usyk and Fury fight for lead hand dominance and even both being rendered useless by each other at times by footwork was great to watch. So high level. Makes these plodders not look like boxers at all.

    Dubois is the type of fighter Fury has targeted his whole career, tall, but shorter than Fury, poor movement and easy to hit. Tailor made for Fury.

    Yeah, I gotta agree with this. While he still certainly has some weakness in the punch resistance department, his overall offensive ability and heart should not longer be questioned.

    In retrospect, Wardley was grossly overmatched to be sure, but other than the KDs Dubois did what one should with an overmatched opponent.
