Daniel Dubois is underrated

He needs to properly use his left hook and right uppercut .

 

Certainly has no hesitation in taking the big fights
Usyk twice
Miller
Joyce
Hrgovic
Joshua
Norman

Facing Wardley next

Consider he has only had 25 fights

 

An offensive beast, though he really seems to pack it in if choppy waters persist.

 

I think his team is full of idiots

Dubois clearly has a weakness to southpaws. Both Fury and Joshua managed to win 3-4 rounds vs Usyk in both fights.

Dubois could not win a single round vs Usyk legitimately.

His jab doesn’t work vs a good southpaw. This is where a good team would adjust and tell him to properly use his left hook to the body and head and also lead with the right hand.

Dubois team convinced him that he won the first fight. Even if this was a legit body shot (it wasn’t), he lost every other round. Surely his team should have recognized that and tried to get him to use the lead right hand and lead left hooks.

Dubois barely attempted any left hooks vs Usyk in fight 2 despite Usyk moving to his right in the direction of the left hook. He hardly tried uppercuts or lead right hands either. He simply tried to set up his right hand the usual way with the jab and that was never going to work when your jab itself isn’t working.

his team did him a disservice by convincing him he won the first Usyk fight instead of using it as a learning experience.

his team should have also put him in with at least one southpaw leading into the second Usyk fight just so he could gain more experience vs lefties. But they didn’t. Poor.

I am also not sure of him beating most guys. Yes, he could. He has fairly quick hands, a massive right and a ram rod of a jab. But he lacks punching variety and his attack is too predictable. Eventually someone other than Usyk was going to figure him out.

he deserves immense credit for fighting everyone and anyone but his team is incompetent beyond words.

 

Wardley is going to blow him away lol

 

He lost half of those fights and fouled his way past Hrgovic, yet he's had three title shots (I count the AJ bout) and is about to walk into a fourth.

Then you've got guys like Kabayel who don't even get one.

 

No doubt. Dubois is packing glass:

His chin isn't "average," it's pure china. Wardley's gonna lay him OUT COLD, and early too!!

 

His chin isn't the best. But I think his confidence will have taken a hit as well. Some glass cannons can get by if the self belief and mental toughness is still there. Wardley on the other hand appears to be improving fight by fight and his confidence will be sky high. Some fights are decided by momentum above all else. But yes Dubois certainly has the weaker chin of the two.

 

Then Dubois will be the first. Massive KO incoming !

 

I think rating Dubois's jab as great is an overstatement.

When I think of notable Heavyweights with great jabs I think of.

Larry Holmes
Lennox Lewis
Wladimir Klitschko
Sonny Liston
Pinklon Thomas

Good jab yes but great ? Certainly not in my view.
