    Does Doobie have a broken hand or not?

    So not a brutal KO as you suggested. Man, sorry, I'm a bit slow tonight...

    Dubois few kg (10 pounds) heavier.
    No idea why? He look very good with lighter weigh. Maybe they afraid of antidoping control.

    Joshua look very good. Good mass with good quality. But Yes. I understand that is just detal. I dont read this as winner or loser situation.
    But what for Dubois need more mass here? no idea

    In the Hrgovic fight Dubois was at his career heaviest weight, 246 lbs. Now he's only 2 lbs heavier, not a huge difference.

    True, but it´s a little bit concerning because he is gaining weight and is now close to 250 when he started his career off at 230.
    Then again, he is 27 and it´s not all that surprising. Joshua himself went through exactly the same path. It´s what happens when you spend your entire life training and lifting weights.

    Both seemed fairly chilled and confident at the weigh in.

    I'm looking forward to an explosive main event tomorrow night.

    I feel bad for Dubois, I think he will get demolished in one or two rounds.

    I have a feeling it will turn out to be a good match with both landing some big shots and with some ebbs and flows

    AJ outright is - 425.

    but him winning by decision is +550.

    Incredible odds.

    Bookies very confident this doesnt go the distance lol. Probably rightfully so... but those odds are tempting lol.

    Yeah a little over complacent from the bookies tbh. If both play it cautious it could very well end in decision.

    That interaction where Joshua was waffling on about giving them an inch and they will take a mile and Dubois wasn't even paying attention, was hilarious!

    Rewatching some DD fights, think I will ultimately bet on the under 7.5 here.

    I expect these two to probably box cautiously so that likely screws my bet but oh well, lets see how the cookie crumbles.
