    His footwork, his punch speed, his ring IQ. After the low blow (IMO) he changed Into a different fighter with more spite and you could tell he was p1ssed after the low blow (IMO). I think he could have knocked Dubois out In any round.

    I feel sorry for Dubois, he Is a good boxer and moves very well for a big man but comes across as mentally weak. He has took the knee In 3 fights now. Joe Joyce took his soul.

    Fury will never fight Usyk. I think It will be Hrgović next.

    Hrgovic will end up similar to Dubois, the only difference is that Hrgovic doesn't punch as hard as Dubois and has a slightly better defense, and I think Usyk won't knock him down, but he will beat him convincingly, I'd rather watch the fight between Usyk vs. Fury because it is a fight for unification, and as for Hrgovic, he should really wait because he is not ready yet and there are more opponents out there ready for him.

    That jab has some major spite in it for sure
    If there is a rematch, he'll clear him out before round 3 now that he knows a check/stab jab will get him outta there

    It's sad that the best boxer in the world has to end up with fighting the likes of Dubois, Hrgovic etc and gets paid like $1M or $2M per fight, whereas Fury is getting $100M average per fight and not giving Usyk the undisputed title shot he deserves.

    Firstable Usyk purse is a lot higher than 1-2m. and Fury is never ever getting 100m. for a fight. Usyk biggest purse against AJ, aka 75$m. is more than any of Fury biggest purse, so that comment is kinda strange.

    He's PFP #1.

    Total domination of a man who had never been legit stopped, and who was ahead on the scorecards in his only previous loss (Joyce).

    It was a total masterclass against a young, powerful, durable fighter.

    Also, I think Dubois will be back. He's had some tough fights, but he's still young at 25.

    Plenty of time to learn.

    Remember Young Wlad or Young Lewis getting KO'd?

    Dubois can improve. He has tools.

    Usyk is great, Dubious is not…won’t say he’s awful, but he’s definitely not very good.

    Hrgovic would demolish Dubois.

    Yes , he was incredible.

    The ukrainian propaganda show in wroclaw , the political speech of his president , the chooosing of the biggest bum fight available , the + 4 min rest on the canvas , anything .

    He is great , he is the best not only on our planet but the entire universe .

    Usyk was indeed masterful, again. He wasn't moving as much as he probably wanted to since the ring mat was wet with all the rain. Nonetheless the frequent low blows by DuBois angered Usyk and he came at DuBois aggressively and taught him a lesson.

    Let's not forget he sold out a 43,000 seater stadium last night too. How many other boxers are selling out venues that big? AJ. Clenelo. Belly. Who else?
