    In all honesty, legal or not, it was Daniels one chance

    Unless usyk has aged overnight? I expect him to win by another stoppage or wide on points. I was not a fan of the rematch, but with Daniels streak and usyk being 38 I'm now intrigued

    Gotta heavily favour usyk, but one punch can change everything and Dubois has power with youth

    Fair play…but a low blow from a male?…no wonder Olek was pissed and not very feel about it. :confused:

    I’m a Usyk fan but the possibility of aging overnight is always there and becomes that much more likely with each and every next fight.

    Imo, there’s no question that Uysk has already lost a step, so he’s already trending downward at some rate even if still very much viable.

    There’s also the question of how much Dubois has possibly improved himself since their last fight.

    There was plenty of scope for Daniel to improve in terms of grit and determination since their first fight - a KO loss by jab, not good… - and we perhaps have seen some improvements in those regards in the interim.

    Just before being KO’d himself, AJ clocked Daniel pretty good - but Dubois immediately fired back with his own, fight ending punches. I was impressed by that in due measure.
