    I'm in the minority but stylistically Sanchez could be all wrong for Dubois. Kabayels resume might get a boost after this one

    Styles can make the difference if levels are somewhat close...

    Sanchez is a low level gatekeeper at best, Dubois is a legit contender (albeit with a few flaws).

    I wouldn't expect this to be particularly competitive.

    I think Dubois will be the clear favourite, but Sanchez does have the capability of winning this. Dubois' limitations have been exposed, but that was by a master in Usyk. He is still very good at what he does and Sanchez will have to be focused and in his best shape over 12 rounds to win.

    It would be crack up if we got the Usyk vs Dubois trilogy though, I mean I will hate it, but I'd still have to laugh.

    lol the title should read Dubois targets potentially vacant belt. Do you really think he wants to go fight usyk again?

    But I like the fight and should be interesting. Sanchez if fit has the potential to stink up the joint and win a lazy decision. If Dubois catches him I don’t see him standing up to a full assault

    Dubois will win this easy. Sanchez is awful. Unless you are Cuban, I don't see how anyone can think Sanchez would win.

    Didn't the Dumbinator already learn his lesson? He could have nails in his gloves and wear full body armor, yet Usyk will still beat him.

    His dad must have told him so. Dubois doesn’t look like the type to do anything other than what he was told to do.

    I think Warren decided this, Moses has stated that he has no say in who he fights, he just does what Warren tells him.

    He certainly won't get it so I doubt he's going for it. Usyk will retire soon and no one is clamouring for Dubois 3. He's lining himself up for another vacant title shot.

    Although a few fighters have pulled out including Itauma, not sure if Dubois warrants an immediate IBF eliminator especially having lost to Usyk twice.

    With that said, Sanchez is an reasonable fight to go into after a KO loss considering as so many fighters have the meaningless tune up fights. But I expect Dubois to stop him in the early to mid rounds.
