    Whoever lands first to do damage wins

    I have more faith in Dubious to survive getting dropped however I have more in AJ to get there first with his right hand

    I think Dubious jab will be surprising early doors and AJ will sort of ghost around like the bum he is at heart and drop rounds waiting for Dubious to slow down on the jab which he will...then look for his right hand.

    AJ hasn't fought a puncher in literally years.

    I bet he gets chinned over in his final sparring session and starts chewing his gumshield again on the ring walks. Dubious comes out with that youthful young dumb and full of cum mentality and bin chickens the bodybuilder.

    Eddie Hearn you're a dosser.

    Dubois is on a good roll, AJ headed downward. Doobie gonna ko his man late.

    What sucks about this fight is the IBF belt is at stake because it was stripped off Usyk who beat both these guys.

    Usyk who fought both said clearly aj will win against dubois. Ajh is on a different level to dubois. I will go by early stoppage before the 7th round by aj

    It's kind of good though because if the IBF didn't strip Usyk....who would have AJ fought? Probably a Parker rematch. BORING. Eddie is not sticking AJ in front of a puncher, he's only stuck him in front of Dubious because that belt is there whilst the Saudi money is on hold with Fury Usyk 2.

    Actually, the Miller fight was a 10 rounder. But that doesn't detract from your greater point.

    Thank you for another great video Rummy!

    If Joshua does not win this one, he is really going to lose a lot in my eyes. AJ is superior to Dubois in almost every way. To me, this is a really important fight for Joshua and he should win because he is the better fighter, but you never know with these guys these days.

    With all due respect, I will have to disagree with you again. I'm thinking it will be the opposite. I think AJ will KO Dubois in round 7 with a huge right.

    AJ is too much for Dubois.

    I would love Dubois to win. He's a genuinely humble guy and it would officially close the book on Joshua's career and an entire era of Heavyweight boxing which promised so much but delivered so little.

    My head says Joshua wins. Dubois porous defence is going to be an issue against somebody who hits as hard as Joshua. But then again Hrgo hits hard and Dubois wrecked him so you never know.

    Actually I have a feeling Dubious will take a dive to gift the IBF belt to AJ by getting knocked out in a devastating fashion, so that AJ vs Fury will be a huge title match that will make Queensbury and Matchroom rich.

    Dubois and Fury both work for Frank Warren. And the heat between AJ vs Dubois in TV interview was also scripted.

    I think Hearn and Warren agreed to fix Dubious vs AJ fight to make AJ vs Fury fight bigger so that they could empty pockets of fans.

    Why? Fury still has to get past Usyk, so makes no sense for Frank to give up a strap so easy.

    AJ vs Fury, a title fight will bring huge revenue to both Queensbury and Matchroom, everybody will be rich. The IBF title must go to AJ.

    I disagree. More money for Frank if he holds all the cards, and leaves him at Hearns mercy if he decides to try AJ v Usyk 3

    Aj has generally looked more chinny than DDD surely?

    DDD has glass eye sockets maybe, or glass ligaments but a glass jaw seems harsh.

    He was KO'd by Usyk with a jab but Usyk is the best around so it seems harsh counting that too hard against him and he took some big shots from Hrgo and Miller.

    AJ on the other hand has looked wobbly (or worse) against a few guys: Wlad, Usyk, Ruiz, and Whyte.

    Maybe there are examples I'm forgetting for both men?

    I also have the perception, rightly or wrongly, that Dubois is discount AJ.

    But then, would AJ bringing a strap not make a huge difference to the AJ-Fury bout (if it happens, which I don't think it will)?

    Because Fury won't be bringing one.


    The bigger point is that Dubois is likely to rule the division once he hits his prime - which is after most this generation steps down or ages out to irrelevance... Why would anyone risk throwing away that fighter?! Not even for a megafight payday.
