    Dubois has improved and there is no way Usyk has done the same. And since he already KO'd Usyk he really doesn't even need to improve but to repeat his previous performance.

    I have the mortgage on Dubois. And for good reason.

    Can a light heavyweight knock out a heavyweight given a free punch

    Dubois isn't in Usyk's league. Warren and Charles have a lot of people believing in a series of completely fake narratives that gaslight them into thinking that Usyk won't win every round this time. But he will.

    It's obvious Usyk has every tactical and skill advantage.
    The advantages Dubious has are no joke though.
    1. Size
    2. Power
    3. Age
    4. 'Home' advantage

    I think one thing that folks need to not sleep on is that I think Dubois coming into ring after Fury 2 really pissed Usyk off, and coupled with the low blow fiasco, I think he might want to make a statement in this.

    Whilst always a consumate professional, Usyk has always seemed more spiteful and aggressive against fighters that he perceieves as disrespecting him - or plain dislikes. Just ask Huck and Bellew.

    Dubois has his work cut out in this and I for one will be hugely impressed if it's even close

    Watched the first fight again last night. A switch definitely flipped after the low blow for Usyk. He got mean real quick

    Usyk’s right hand had him completely under control in fight 1. Without the jab dubois cannot setup anything. Once usyk takes that away the fight is effectively over

    That can also work against him walking into a crazy counter, although usyk tends to be defensively responsible even when aggressive, but still can happen as it did in round 10 of Joshua 2, it was a massive counter was actually surprised he wasn’t flat on his back lol
