    If he faced Zhang he could give him the coup de grace imo. Hes shot....definetely. His resume after Ruiz 2 is made up of by tailor made fighters who werent able to expose him like Ruiz did.

    For me AJ showed incredible heart and will. Don't know how he recovered from the first round, abd the big hook that finished him was as he was throwing and right on the button. A perfect counter, would have poleaxed anyone.

    Spot on this! The big right was a big factor, but I felt it was a matter of when not if - AJ's body language was bad, his footwork was off, and his guard was non-existent. That's a recipe for disaster against someone as heavy handed as Dubois

    I've just rewatched this, Dubois beat two men in there. That ref was appaling.

    Yes, that's a good point. No guard is a recipe for disaster. At the end of the day that's what actually happened.

    Waved away the count (think it was before the second or third knockdown when Joshua touched both gloves to the floor) disgraceful.

    Loved the Tysonesque ring walk, no robe, just bad intentions.

    That's exactly what the majority were saying about Dubois being taylor made for AJ.

    Not anymore!

    Dubois made a fan of me last night and earned a buy for his next PPV event. He looked great. And let's not forget, he did have a moment of adversity -- AJ landed a perfect bomb on him, which did wobble him for a second, but he kept focused and landed that counter to end the fight when AJ lunged in trying to capitalize on his one good moment.

    I think the great irony is he 'old manned' AJ.

    I knew if Dabouis hurt him early he would never recover
