Were you impressed by Dubois' chin?

We also have to acknowledge that Usyk's power is underrated and he's faster than Hrgovic and Dubois didn't see his shots coming.

Usyk has hurt Belly, AJ and Dubois with single shots and either got them out of there, come within a whisker of doing so, or come close to doing so.

We told you that all those SHW giants in the WSB he fought respected or felt his power and he stopped 2 of them

Here he is stopping a tough 263lb Eric Brechlin in three rounds in the WSB albeit Brechlin's corner threw in the towel (after three standing counts) but the 260lb or roughly in that vicinity absolutely murderous punching Makhmudov was taken the five round distance by the same Brechlin. And Brechlin took plenty of big shots and didn't run from him. Brechlin also lasted the distance against Hrgovic in the WSB and AJ in the amateurs

Here he is stopping the 277lb Italian Belly Modugno in 3 rounds, including dropping him twice

Modugno lasted into the 4th in the WSB against the 6'6'' 240lb Joe Joyce only losing that one on a cut eye, which AFAIA is the only other time he's been stopped.

Usyk 211lbs - Nistor 233lbs
Usyk 213lbs - Modugno 277lbs
Usyk 210lbs - Majidov 235lbs
Usyk 211lbs - Joyce 238lbs
Usyk 209lbs - Brechlin 263lbs
Usyk 208lbs - Fa 246lbs

So Usyk actually has a long track record of not only slaying giants but hurting them

 

Not really, I picked Dubois to win, because I thought Hrgovic's power was overrated. He never properly stunned Zhang, and that TKO against McKean was a bit premature and it took him 12 rounds to pull that off. Dubois' chin has never been that bad, he took haymakers from Miller for 10 rounds, and a ramrod pulverizing jab from Joyce for 9 rounds and only quit because his eye was about to pop out, and even though he was stopped by Usyk and Fury and AJ weren't, Usyk hurt AJ and Fury far more than he did Dubois. And like @Serge said, Hrgovic lacks the speed and unpredictability of an Usyk. So Dubois quickly acclimated to and braced himself for the power, aided immeasurably by Hrgovic throwing everything at the same speed. By the 5th, the gassy Hrgovic was running on fumes, and his punches had lost most of their pop. Dubois instead of getting in his head and allowing himself to spiral (a rare instance where being a dope paid off), assessed the situation properly, he realized going 9 against Joyce and Usyk, and beating Miller ain't too shabby, his chin ain't that bad, so it gave him the confidence he needed to find his level and to be the face first rock 'em sock 'em defenseless robot he was destined to be. But if he does that **** against AJ, he won't see round 2.
