Daniel Dubois vs Pinklon Thomas

Thomas.

I would say not quite easily but he would win convincingly. That jab is going to land on the Dubois defense and he surely is not walking through it---like he would need to. Late stoppage due to cuts or swelling or the decision win. Not a hard bout to score because of the frequency those stiff jabs would be landing. That wins the rounds on the judges scorecards.

 

I don't know. Pinklon has one of THE jabs but Dubois own, whilst not as elegant, quick or refined is thunderous and hurtful. I don't think Thomas has the consistent power to keep Dubois away for the full fight. Thomas likely wins three or four competitive early rounds but Dubois catches him sometime after 6. I still don't know if Dubois is a busted flush, or how history will remember him, but history suggests Pinklon struggles against big, heavy handed relatively mobile opponents, although I concede several of his losses to this kind of fighter were after his 'best before' date....

 

Best vs Best Thomas easy. Dubois can't fight, and Thomas could.
It really is that simple.

 

Dubois crumples him, in my opinion. Dubois folds against guys he feels he has no chance against. Against guys that he can land on, he seems to keep going until he lands the money punches. Thomas was a fine boxer but I think that just a jab isn't going to cut it against a mastodon like Dubois. To be clear, Dubois doesn't have a great defence himself, but if it turns into a punchup, I don't think Thomas has the guns or the defence to win down the line with Dubois.

 

I think Pinklon Thomas of the Witherspoon fight wins. He might have some shaky moments though.

 

Pink UD

 

Another vote Thomas. Unlike Anthony Joshua, Thomas has a great chin to weather an occasional big shot by Dubois. Dubois' fragile mentality would fold after getting 100 plus stiff jabs in the face.

 

Big edge to Thomas. He went deep with killers and stayed functional. Dubois has not consistently shown comfort in deep waters against durable opposition.

 

Big bad headache s

 

Thomas wasn't hard to hit but he had a good chin and Dubois can't outbox him and he's outskilled at close range too

 

Dubois gets pieced up by that jab of Pinklon’s in my opinion. Either late rounds TKO or wide decision for Thomas.

 

Probably before, too.

But yeah idk if Dubois could pull off a similar performance against Witherspoon, I have Thomas all day.

 

Anyone else find it odd that several of the eighties announcers would pronounce his name as the phonetic equivalent of "Pink-lawn"?

I would think (??) it's supposed to be pronounced more like Lincoln or Wriniklin'.
