Dubois with right attitude could demolish Usyk, what then? Lets talk strategy.

    Yeah, you have put your finger on something. Dubois is fairly basic. He's quite good in a phonebooth and reasonably good applying pressure. But if a fighter has a good jab he can keep Dubois off of him and work of that jab to hurt him. And Dubois doesn't move particuarly well.

    As I said earlier, Dubois could do something sneaky/dirty to try to get Usyk to do something silly and then clip him. Failing that, though, he's going to have to hope that Usyk has gotten old or lost his motivation.

    But I suspect we're looking at something like Usyk by TKO 10 because Dubois will be drowning in the last 1/3rd of the fight.

    People were really high on dubois before the Joyce fight. Then they were really high on Joyce until the Zhang fight. Now they're high on Zhang even though everyone said he was trash after the Forrest fight. They had been high on hrgovich until he couldn't knock Zhang out but now they're revisionist high on hrgovich again bc zhang beat Joyce who they were high on for beating dubois who they're now high on for beating Trevor Bryan.

    I like usyk by decision here unless he's on some steep decline that hasn't been observable bc AJ has also declined and he's been inactive..

    Much better fighters than your boy DuBois have tried and failed.

    Dubois has to take the maximum risk and go for the knockout, along the way Usyk will hit him several times, but Dubois has to go forward.
