Will Usyk Knockout Dubois?

I'm leaning not. I think Usyk UD.

 

I think Dubois will retire just like Witherspoon, between rounds 7-9.

 

Dubois will go all out in the first 6 rounds, if Usyk stands, DD is going down just from the damage that he will get

 

You have to fancy Usyk to force the stoppage perhaps not via a direct KO, but via a corner stoppage or retirement in the corner.

Dubois looked very vulnerable against Lerena and Joyce, and Usyk's movement will cause him lots of problems.

 

I lean toward yes.

Dubois knows his best chance is a knockout, cause unless Usyk's stamina has absolutely fallen off of a cliff worse than any way seen before, there's no way in hell he can outpoint him. So Dubois is probably going to try and go for the KO early, which will probaby lead to him being low on gas by the halfway point, and after that I'm expecting Usyk to win by KO due to accumulated damage around 7, or 9 at the latest. Either he'll end up like Bellew or he'll stop being able to defend himself like Hunter.

The next most likely outcome is Usyk winning a wide decision again, in my opinion. I only see Dubois winning if he lands the luckiest shot of his career. Not impossible of course, cause it is Heavyweight boxing after all, but against a guy who was last down over ten years ago in the amateurs, that's a pretty big ask.

 

I'm thinking he can, the way Lerena put him down suggests Usyk has enough power to stop him if he can land cleanly enough times.

Even if he can't drop him with one shot I think the accumulation will either see him quit or have the ref step in and stop it.

 

Doubtful, Joyce battered him and the stoppage was legit, but he put all that weight and power on him and didn't make him bend the knee.

Ain't no way Usyk will.

 

Believe it or not Usyk is *favored* to win by KO. It's -225 for an Usyk KO & +250 for Usyk decision.

I'm not going to bet on this fight but that Usyk pts win is interesting. I just don't trust Dubois, tho.
