    It will be another Matchroom vs Queensberry 5 vs 5 event.

    Am I the only person who thinks Joshua has a chance of winning the rematch?

    I'll be amazed if that comes to fruition. AJ kinda did that already but just couldn't handle Dubois' ferocity, at long or short range.

    If he does that, it ends horribly for him again.

    Swinging for the hills from the get go is his only hope.

    If he doesn't get caught cold early he has a very good chance. He may have underestimated Dubois. If that was the case it's a very winnable fight.

    Problem is he is very hittable and folds under pressure. Not great when you're against a puncher who's barrelling towards you.

    Dubios has the superior jab and a solid chin. I think he wins even sooner next time around.

    Dubois can then be content to just jab his head off round after round.

    The Dubois doubters need to watch the first round again. He dominated the first round well before he landed big on Joshua.

    It wont Make any difference at all because he cannot take Daniel's punch. That is why he lost

    I still havent watched the first fight, so I dont have much analysis for this one yet, but on the surface this seems like quite the mistake.

    This likely pits the nail in AJ being a top tier fighter.

    (Keep in mind I thought that about Ruiz 2 as well though.)

    He has a puncher's chance.
    If he lands two or three perfect power punches in quick succession, he might score a stoppage. We saw him land ONE of those, and he knocked Dubois back and had him on the retreat - but Dubois recovered very quickly and moments later AJ was KTFO.

    But Joshua has to improve about 500% to get himself up to the standard to hope to deliver that. Whereas Dubois only has to improve about 5% to cancel any Joshua improvements.

    Senseless fight imo, AJ just for the money lol

    AJ can just maybe win, if he hires Usyk as his new trainer

    He can win, but he needs to box a perfect fight (correct the awful mistakes he made defensively) and hit Dubois with a crisp shot or a combination. It will be hard to do. Chances are slim but not none.

    Sure he can win, but he won't
    Fury has a much better chance and most give him zero
