Should Dubois apply the same gameplan against AJ he did vs Hrgovic?

    Or will those right hands put him to sleep?
    Will his lack of defence be critical?
    What would be the best strategy for him?
    Will AJ easily outbox him or their skills are comparable?

    You mean headbutt an low blow all the time because you are not good enough to fight clean?

    There isn't a strategy that exists that will get Daniel the W.

    He should come out with his hair on fire and completely blow his load in the first 2 rounds, throwing nothing but haymakers.

    Not possible to apply intelligent pressure?
    Because it's not good to get countered by a guy like AJ

    He doesn't have the defense to apply intelligent pressure. AJ will land bombs on him no matter what, he might as well make it ugly and get reckless.

    I hope I am wrong and Daniel wins, I just don't think he has the tools to compete with him.

    He has a punchers chance early
    I think Aj boxes his ears off, takes his time to break him down then go for the finish probably around the 8th or 9th

    He can't outbox AJ and he's too easy to hit to out fight AJ. Of course he has a punchers chance but that's about it. AJ KO's him.

    He has the power to hurt AJ, if he can land it. This fight may be a case of who lands the first devastating punch. I don't think the fight ends early like some, but I don't think it goes later than 8-10.

    He took some bombs off Hrgovic so I don't think chin is a huge concern. His best bet is to try and hurt AJ early, make him uncertain and apply intelligent pressure for a points win.

    I think it's unlikely he can win. As much as I dislike AJ he is still more proven with equal or slightly greater power.

    The game plan changed to making it dirty against Hrgovic after the lop sided opening rounds.

    Joshua is the clear A-side, so Dubois is likely to get himself DQd if he uses the head as much as he did against Hrgovic...

    but maybe making it dirty is his best hope for victory

    Daniel "Dirty" Dubious will be using the same strategy he used against Hrgovic: headbutts and low blows. He'll likely be full of PEDs to give him better punch resistance and aggressiveness. And Warren will have a dishonest referee there to make sure Dubious gets away with his illegal tactics.

    I hope Joshua avoids the head butts, I think he knows how to. I think even if Dubious is roiding, AJ can still knock him out.

    People still complaining about the rabbit punch king Hrgovic getting a taste of his own medicine I see.
