    Can Norton weather the early storm to stop him late or win on points, or does Dubois have the perfect tools to take him out?

    A knockdown along the way is possible, but Norton's guard and head movement are much more educated that what Daniel ever encountered bar Usyk who mostly made him swing at the air before walking him down and stopping him. He can smother inside, bangs in combinations himself, and is more skilled all around the board, with Dubois hitting a fair bit harder. His body punching and sneaky uppercuts are likely a novelty for DDD as well.

    Definitely a banger simply because Norton is not going to box Dubois on a backfoot, and the man can hit. Ultimately his defense is too rudimentary to get past Kenny's defense, and his gas tank will quickly betray him against those jabs and shots to the gut Norton likes.

    Dubois knocks him out early. Can we please be serious?
