Daniel Dubois vs Kevin Lerena

This would definitely be Dubois' best win. I need to watch Lerena more before I predict a victor.

 

Why not have Dubois fight a heavyweight?

Warren is using the old Bob Arum method of having his boxers fight smaller men.

I hope it backfires and Lerena wins.

 

Lerena is a good fighter, but Dubois is still a higher level and will knock him out, I don't give Lerena too much of a chance...

 

Interesting choice of opponent. As basic as Dubois is, Lerena will likely stand right in front of him for much of the fight or go right at him, so it suits Dubois that he won't have to chase an opponent down.

But Lerena might make a fight of it, if he can back Dubois up as it's clear Dubois can't fight on the back foot, but that's a big if considering the size and power difference. Much more likely that Dubois simply over powers him and stops him.

 

DuBois probably wins but Lerena has decent head movement and good handspeed. This could be a good fight. If Dubois comes in flat he might take an L.

 

Dubious is no beast, Lerena has a chance.

 

Interesting fight, will be worth watching. Dubois was clinical against Bryan. Put an end to his hype train.

 

Out of top 20@Cruiser 6`1 blown up cruiserweight fighting at heavyweight ? Speechless. Bad fight for Dubois.

 

I like Lerena, but he's just a bigger George Arias. I think this step up at heavyweight comes too fast. He'd needed 1-2 fights more. Nevertheless i hope Lerena win's a decision (he can't KO Dubois), but its gonna be super hard!

 

Either Dubois catches him or Lerena schools the shiets out of him. Wouldn't be surprise with Lerena win.

 

Should be a good fight, I’ve always liked Dubois.

 

Lerena turned pro at 19 years old weighing about 215, he is big for a traditional heavyweight, just not for the giants of today. He is also a southpaw, quick handed, and as mentioned he has good head movement. If he is really 6-1, he weighs about 230 which makes him about the size of Tommy Morrison so he isn't small, he has just been fighting huge fighters and looks small by comparison. Dubois is fighting a tough southpaw opponent and should be given credit for taking the fight.

From just watching the video above, Lerena does seem to stand in front of his opponent a lot and from just watching the small amount of video available, he "admires" his work after throwing punches and doesn't use angles. Of course neither opponent (Dinu and Wach) in the videos above was able to take advantage of Lerena's lack of movement and maybe Lerena moved more earlier in the fight when the opponents were more dangerous? Regardless, Lerena looks like a good fighter.
