AJ vs Dubois.. It's official

The vacant one was the mighty Klitscho who held tightly unto the belts for a long time and no one dare to snatch. Yeah I forgot someone got em with Roids, went into depression and dare not defend.

Parker still gave wilder a beating even after losing to joyce, Whyte and AJ.

The last few weeks have been difficult for haters of boxing who wanted an mma novice to smash a former boxing champion. Hilarious!

 

Slightly unfair to leave out the Klitschko fight which gave him the vacant one, but even then, Wlad was ancient and it still went life and death. One freak uppercut from the gods kept him from losing that fight.

I used to like watching AJ back then because there was a hint of vulnerability about him whilst still having knockouts, kind of like a superheavy Khan. Povetkin was probably the template - he didn't look comfortable now and again but still flattened the guy. Enjoyable nights. Ruiz kind of proved that point and it's been a weird career ever since.

 

Klitschko was 41, inactive for 18 months and coming off a schooling.

 

Joshua could blitz him in the first couple of rounds if he’s brave enough.

 

I'm picking Dubois, both are fragile but ddd seems to have a new found belief in himself, and I like what I am seeing from him, I'm going with a Dubois stoppage in about seven.

 

Would be great for the sport if he did. Shows that the big names aren't set in stone and people can challenge after defeats.

Joshua was great for UK boxing but it seems to have a better benefactor now.

 

Your post was credible until you mentioned IBO.

Hearn has done well for the sport. Relatively speaking, given other peoples' means and advantages compared to his, I'd say people who spend their minimal cash to show up at his events, have done just as much.

 

Dubois needs to let his hands go early and he may find the Big Humble Crumble again.

 

The thug life coming out in AJ in that face off video. Hope Dubois clatters him into next week. AJ is just as much of an idiot as Tyson Fury is. None of them have the class of Usyk.

 

Let's see how much Dubois has learnt from his early loss and tough comeback wins. Has he really got the heart to beat AJ? Definitely worth a cheeky bet. I'm sure AJ will be the clear favourite.

 

Dubois creases me these days. Said a jokey comment and wannabe roadman AJ was straight out.

 

He really is quite dry and funny in a quiet way, he's finding his confidence, I genuinely think he's a fighter you can root for.

AJ however..........erm..........

 

So no one gives Dubois a chance? I personally think that this is a straight shoot out and that Dubois is more than a chance in this. Yeah Dubois isn't great defensively at time, but I don't remember AJ reacting well to getting hit either, and this is by far the biggest puncher that AJ has faces In a long long time (probably since Klitschko 7 years ago), so yeah, I could be wrong, but people writing Dubois off and saying AJ to do this in a canter are crazy imo.

 

Read the thread. Plenty are backing Dubois.
For me personally Joshua is the hardest puncher in the division and I feel Dubois is too easy to hit. Dubois does have power though, AJ does have a suspect chin, so it mightn’t be straight forward.

I foresee an AJ uppercut leaving Dubois starfished on the canvas.

 

AJ is 34 and has 3 losses on his record and his career is coming to the end. He has been boxing a long time and doesn’t have the best set of whiskers.

This means this fight isn’t the foregone conclusion it was 2-3 years ago.

Yes Dubois has Frank Bruno vulnerability vibes but he is in his athletic prime with a lot less miles on the clock.

I think it will be a classic fight. I think AJ is the narrow favourite here but only if Dubois comes out cautious. If Dubois comes out aggressive and goes for it then I would favour Dubois.
