Usyk vs Dubois 2 - Preview & Prediction Video

Good video and preview. I expect Usyk to win again but am one of the fans who likes this fight. I think Usyk being older and Dubois gaining experience, confidence and being at home are going to be factors. I don't think they add up to Dubois getting revenge but I think Dubois will be better in the rematch and have a better fight. Joshua did slightly better the second time though Fury did worse.

I think the key to beating Usyk is pressure and body punching. Fury and Joshua's success came when backing him up and also getting to the body. Usyk is smaller and can be bullied. The problem is that his foot work and stamina are so good that it makes it very difficult to sustain that type of attack and Usyk recovers very well after taking a big punch. I don't think Dubois or really anyone at heavyweight is going to sit back and counter their way to victory.

I can see Dubois rallying some time in the fight but ultimately failing to get the job done and Usyk taking over. I think this goes anywhere from 9-12 rounds but again Usyk wins handily

 

Usyk will win more easily. He is better grown into being a heavy, and he knows Dubois back and forth, now.

 

I’m inclined to agree based on what I’ve seen up to this point. Anything can still happen it’s heavyweight boxing but it’s looking like Usyk might still have one good performance in him

dumbois got real touchy when the subject of that Jab that KOed his ass last time came up!!

WAR USYK

 

Great video and I don't see anything in it that I disagree with.

 

Nice analysis Rummy.
Been trying to find the words to explain the idea that although Dubois will have learnt from last time he was in the ring with Usyk, Usyk will have learnt a lot more about Dubois.

 

Good analysis as usual Rummy!

Looking forward to a great encounter - regardless of the result it will tell us a lot about both men; should Usyk have retired after Fury 2? Is Dubois 'renaissance' the real deal or more a factor of his opposition? How much does Usyk have left in the tank?

 

One reason I think Dubois can win is mentioned in this video, Dubois is naturally sharper and more effective than when they first met. Couple that with a fighter pushing 40? I believe Dubois winning wouldn't be that great of an upset

 

I agree with your analysis of how he can beat Usyk, pressure and body punching. I think Dubois has to attack behind his jab and make the pace fast, he can't wait on Usyk . I know Usyk has excellent stamina but he is 38 and nobody has really gotten into his grill and stayed there. I'm going to be curious as to what weight Dubois comes in at before I bet on this one.

 

I only watched the first fight once but despite losing almost every round I thought he did well at times and had a good jab in the fight and could slow Usyk's attack in moments. The only factor in the first fight was the rain and slippery canvas which likely hampered Usyk and that should not be a factor in this fight

Despite thinking Usyk won the rematch with Fury clearer I thought he looked a little slower and his output and activity seemed lower. I have a feeling age is beginning to catch up with Usyk and his performance may dip sooner. It felt like Fury could win more rounds in the rematch if he just let his hands go more but he seemed reluctant.

 

Usyk is bound to lose....Teddy Atlas has picked him to win!

Good work as usual, Rummy.

 

Great work Rummy, as always. I like Usyk in this fight even stronger than the first meeting. Dubois will lose confidence and demonstrate why people question his mental toughness early this time. He couldn’t beat Usyk on a slippery canvas last time, it’s going to be worse for him this time. He might have some moments but in the end, DD will gas and Usyk will knock him out after giving him a boxing lesson.

 

Sorry Rummy, I initially ignored this for some generic promotional material. If this had the trademark Rummy thumbnail, I wouldn't of hesitated!

 

I think there is a very good chance Usyk will win, but I also think there is a decent chance that even with a win the fight will convince him to retire (similar to Marciano against Moore). A powerful confident younger opponent can potentially cause significant hurt against a 38-year-old.
