    I could see an exhausted DDD getting stopped either on his feet or on his knee. He has some good wins, but he has quit before and as you say usyk is a mover

    I'm personally not happy about the fight. I know the result. Usyk will maybe have aged a little, but not enough to get beat. Daniel has a punchers chance, but this is not like fighting an AJ or miller

    DDD just ain't clever enough to hang 12 rounds with Usyk - guys with much higher ring IQ (and IQ in general) have said he's a head**** to fight, Dubois has his plus points but intelligence isn't one of them... I suspect he'd really, really struggle with Usyks angles and his increasing pace.

    I'd have preferred Parker to get it, especially after Dubois managed to swerve him... Nobody else deserves it nearly as much as those two, even if we do already have a strong indication that Dubois can't cope already.

    Well it's made now and Dubois is a puncher, but you know as well as me it's an absolute long shot for Ddd to win

    I think he starts OK, but like you say he's not the brightest bulb in the room. It will be a much bigger shock than Dubouis battering Aj if he wins. I know many think father time has caught usyk and say Daniel will knock him out, but do they really believe it?

    If I'm kind to Dubois, I give him 20% chance to win, but I think it's lower. I don't think parker beats Usyk, but it's a different match up and I'd be more intrigued

    Anyway fights made now. I just don't particularly want to see Usyk vs Aj or Fury again. He needs to be called out as a money fighter like all others if this is the path he leads.

    Parker has earned his shot next

    Since you are too dishonest to look it up for yourself here is Daniel Dubios shown the low blows in an interview yesterday where he did not even deny it.

    Yeah I wish this fight was dropped and someone deserving goy the shot ( Parker ) not this blowhard who has quit twice in his career so far.

    I don't think it's likely...

    ... But the possibility is the only thing that makes the fight interesting.

    Usyk fading whilst Dubois gets closer to his prime makes it less of an open and shut case than first time around - it's more interesting than immediate rematches after clear and dominant wins first time around (eg Usyk Vs Fury, Usyk Vs Joshua, etc).

    No way Usyk will ever be able to fight a FOTC or Thrilla In Manila kind of fight. He isn’t build like that.

    I wouldn't agree with that...I think he's in that class. But Ali is the greatest, Joe is top ten, and its amazing they had those three great fights!

    Nah man, Usyk gets punched on the hips once and he already starts crying to the referee. No way can he take that onslaught.

    The ref ruled it low, even if you think it was a legit shot had it been ruled a knockdown Usyk may have gotten up instead of milking it

    Well, no use arguing about it, because we have the rematch. Let's go double or nothing.

    Anyway, we agree on Ali and Frazier.

    Everybody wants to see usyk vs parker and especially vs kabayel but it will not happen since usyk fights only guys he can be sure to beat .

    And you can be 100% sure I will be one of the loudest guys in here to call him out on his BS if he fights Fury or AJ after DDD. I hope it's just a sneaky way to get Belly out of "retirement" and finally get him in the ring with AJ.
