    Initially I was thinking Dubois showed good chin and energy to beat Zhang on points, but if Dubois doesn't manage to sort his head movement out I very much doubt he can't take those kind of shots from Zhang - Joyce couldn't and I think that says a ton.

    If Dubois can fight smarter and keep his head off the line then he could do enough for a decision, but Zhang KO based on last 2 fights

    Dooobwas has no c,ue hiw to block a punch. Joyce had the same defect and look what happened to him.

    Big Bang will Bolivianize Dubby. Easy work.

    But AJ will get to Dubby first. It's too big a Brit fight to pass up. Eddie lost Fury-ZJ and this is the next biggest match.

    Dubois is way too open and Zhang is far more powerful than Hrgovic. You don't take a flush shot from Zhang and expect to not get hurt. Even the iron-chinned Joyce panicked the moment Zhang landed.

    Dubois may be able to take 3-4 flush shots, but the 5th shot is going to turn his body into jell-o.

    Zhang by KO.

    Even though Big Bang was doing God's work when he hammered the final nail into The Dosser's manufactured can crushing career, I wasn't too impressed with how he looked prior to the finish.

    Granted The Dosser stiff=arming with his leg length arms and doing that constant pawing with his ''jab'' thing which we see increasingly more of from the American school and is essentially a sneaky way to stiff arm and should be illegal made it difficult for Big Bang to get in range, but he didn't look like the same Big Bang we saw against Hrgovic and Big Joe Joyce to me and he is obviously 41 y/o.

    That being said, I can't see Dubois standing up to his power for very long if he's as easy to hit as he was against Hrgovic. Dubois has the power to KO Big Bang too and might land first but I'd still favour Big Bang via KO at this point.

    I'd favor Big Bang Zhang.
    Dubios too easy to hit, and Zhang hits too hard to just tank those punches for too long.

    If DD can take the Zhang shots like he did with Hgorvic, I think he wins the fight. Zhang would gas out like he always does and youth would be served. However, I don't think DD can take too many shots from Zhang without being wobbled or going down. As much as I love Usyk, who is way more conditioned and skilled than Zhang, I highly highly doubt he punches harder than Zhang. And he was able to stop DD.

    My prediction would be Zhang by KO.

    Zhang would KO him cold. DuBois has no defense which is a significant liability against Zhang.

    Zhang knocks his ass out. Within four or five rounds.
