Were you impressed by Dubois' chin?

Dubois aint bad

 

It was shocking, I'd relegated his chin to glass after being dropped 3 times by Lerena a blown up cruiserweight. I now must put that performance against Lerena down to being caught early and the fact the shot was a counter left hook he didn't see coming. That and Hrgovic's power clearly wasn't as good as we were led to believe.

 

He also hurt his knee that night.

 

Plus Lerena is MUCH harder puncher than you may think by looking at his KO%. He had much bigger Justice Huni completely out on his feet with a single punch in round 10. Still shocked that Huni survived

 

True but he did get dropped before the knee was an issue, at least that's how I recall it.

 

Yup. He got clipped and hurt his knee on the way down. Second KD was clearly due to his knee as Lerena didn´t even throw a punch at him, Dubois just took a knee himself. Same with the 3rd KD.
People have completely forgotten this and say things like "Cruiserweight Lerena dropped him 3 times." Well, not really.

 

His knee seemed to go with the first KD, possible they he got slightly wobbled and his knee went as a result, which is why he ultimately went down. I don't really recall punches landing in subsequent knockdowns. I think he was just freaking out because of his leg and wanting to catch a break.

I never saw Dubois as having chin problems. He was simply mentally overwhelmed by Usyk and had his eye socket smashed by Joyce after eating punches from him all night. He seemed to have his faculties intact for every KD of his career.

 

Not really. Just think even less of Hrgovic’s power. Thought Hrgovic was useless anyway, now he doesn’t even make my top 15.

 

Yes. It seemed on a whole different level than previously, but thinking about it I haven't really seen it cracked before. Joyce smashed his eye and against Usyk it was more about fatigue and frustration. But I had not expected him to take those punches as well as he did.

 

Was a temple shot, right?? This type of counter shots can done even the best of chins. Not i suggest that Dubois has topone, but that statement stand.
As far as Hrgovic power i think he is very heavy handed, but doesn't have that explosiveness for 1 punch KO.

 

Or possibly Dubois is on some high-quality PEDs.

 

I thought so too. Dubois didn't look normal last night.

 

To be fair he surely is. He somehow moves up and down with the weight, and carry as much muscle as possible, and it's still ripped asf.
His recovery stamina wise is insanely impressive as well. Such type of stamina recovery, when a fighter look completely gassed and comes out in a next few rounds rejuvenated when the given guy is not known for his Stamina, and is all muscle has always been suspicious. Kinda remind me of young AJ. But maybe it's the age, is he is very young and fresh, who knows.

 

His stamina was good high quality blood doping going on in Saudi.

He had a really wierd one with that cruiserweight who Fury used to Usyk sparring. Got clipped early then his legs gave out.

He was doing ok against Joyce but eating jabs and broke his eye socket. Hurgovic didn't really bother with his jab...but he didn't need to because Dubious was there for the right hand all night...but they all bounced off our favourite pin head
