    I’m choosing to be positive so I’ve now signed off on this fight in my own mind. It’s not that bad.

    Im grateful these guys are fighting all at the same time. Sets up bigger fights next. Now just need Wilder and Ruiz to stop playing games and get a deal done.

    Usyk by decision, although I can see him getting hurt as DDD has heavy hands.

    DDD gets wrecked, but I guess he earned his shot?

    Using logic on Miniq is like searching for the darkness using a torch and flood lights.

    Dubois is better than he gets credit for. Usyk obviously wins and Dubois will get written off as a bum afterwards but honestly I think Dubois isn't far off being a top 10 heavyweight. Arguably beats somebody like Parker.

    You maybe right but then Dubois has never beaten anyone on Parker's level. His best win is who? Gorman, Dinu, Bryan? His resume sucks, the fact he was slightly competitive with Joyce is really his only notable achievement. Right now I'm not even sure if he's gate keeper level as he's never even beaten a fighter that could be considered a fringe contender or gate keeper.

    On paper this is a huge mismatch. Maybe Dubois can give Usyk a few problems, but I suspect Usyk to win this fight without much difficulty and expect him to dominate once he blows off the ring rust.

    Dubois only hope is Usyk to be old, injured and slower than usual.

    My official prediction is Dubois gives up in round 6 with an injury.

    If he goes down three times vs Usyk he won't be pulling any magic rabbits out of hats

    Yes.

    The event isn't promoted by slimy old Fish Eyes, so the chances are there will be a fair and honest referee working the fight.

    Im not sure its an as easy style match up for Usyk as aome might think.
    Heavirs always got that 1 punch power, Usyk can get older overnight since he doesnt have an age friendly style. Obviously he is the favourite but I wouldnt be surprised if it was a tough ud win.
    I hope he wins though just so Fury diesnt get of the hook for his shameless duck
