The Official "Duhaupas is going to win this thing" thread

:yep

Besides Buffets... Wilders team should Scout out
Home Depots for Wilder opponents...

There's a crowd of guys that hang around outside
needing cash... I bet they'd fight/work for food!!

:hey

 

I heard Duhaupas does a lot of carpentry on the side

 

The fight is fixed, regardless of dephaus bumminess. They needed to fix the Scott fight, Wilder's last opponent (who?) wobbled him, they can't risk.

 

I think Wilder wins but I can see a scenrio where Duhaupas weathers the early rounds and breaks some glass.

 

I didn't vote.
I think Wilder wins by either late KO, or an 8 rounds to 4 type decision.
Duhaupas is good enough to cause a few problems for Wilder, but I don't think he wins, or gets blown out either.
He could, but I see him in a shell early, and winning a few middle rounds b4 Wilder's offense overshadows him.

 

So dredging this up to reflect on what actually happened, Duhaupas brought a bit of fight to this match - Wilder couldn't knock him out and tbh it looked to me like Wilder completely outboxed him, he was basically landing at will for most of the fight and while his antics were odd, he was able to leap around like a lunatic in the championship rounds of the fight.

He is a very fit, strong, fast tall reachy fighter and received a few shots which didn't rock him so isn't packing as bad china as people give him credit for. Plenty of holes in his game, but he's going to cause more issues in future fights than a lot of people are giving him credit for - but then there are others who still over rate him.

Him versus Povetkin could be one of the most interesting HW title fights in years.
