Who wins? I think this is one of if not the hardest puncher Joshua will have fought. I don’t think Joshua or Dubois have bad chins. Joshua got hit in the wrong spot against Ruiz after carelessly swinging for the fences after landing huge shots on him, thinking he was ready to go. Dubois ate right hands from Hrgovic over and over. But he also got stopped by a heavy jab from Usyk. However, I’m not sure if the defensive display we saw last night from Dubois is a good sign he’d last more than 6 with AJ, who I think is more precise and heavier puncher than that slob Hrgovic
I would like Dubois to win but I think Joshua ko/TKo win mid to late rounds. Dubois is too open defensively for AJ. AJ to fight smart (unlike Hrgovic), will get behind the jab, as Dubois looks to close the distance AJ will look to land the 1-2s combinations, AJ will pick Dubois apart and Dubois down.
Joshua would be favorite. But if Dubois can clip him and/or take it into second half of the fight anything can happen.
Dubois was great but he still couldn't escape the right hand. If AJ lands, which he will, its game over.
Dubois and Joyce seem interchangeable to me. Neither has any idea how to block a punch to their head. No head movement, not even covering their face with a glove. Terrible boxers.
Hardest for a while maybe - but harder than Wlad?! Harder than Povetkin?! No way, absolutely not. Overall... Joshua's just got way too much for Dubois - he's too measured, hits way too hard and he's a huge, huge step up from Miller and Hrgovic.
AJ easily, Dubois defence is non existent, hrgovic was finding a home every time with that 1-2, AJ has destructive power
And then Dubois will become hot trash. Especially in the eyes of guys who were backing Hrgovic to dominate AJ. Because Joshua must never be given credit for anything - ever. (I can't stand the man, but the double standards on here are ridiculous )
Joshua gives him the Ngannou treatment. Dubois isn't a good enough boxer to land on AJ first, and if he takes even a couple of AJ flush bombs like he took from Hrgovic he's gonna shake down to his boots. Dubois chances are better than Ngannou's obviously and if he flips the script and tags AJ first we might see the royal china shatter again. But 8/10 AJ gets him first I reckon.
Why are you quoting me? I will give him credit I don't give him credit for his last 2 opponents, because realistically that's what Fury should have done, but if Joshua fights legit contenders, then I will credit him It's the Fury haters that don't give credit,not me Personally Aj is the only fighter in the world really dislike, but I can credit him
Oh I'm not disagreeing with you - or implying you wouldn't. I don't always reply to disagree - sometimes more as an agree-and-follow-on kind of thing.
