Why did Dubois refuse to go to the body this time?

You reach I teach. Going to the body exposes yourself to headshots and Usyks movement is too deceptive. If he was stationary sitting at the ropes he would have unloaded but it’s hard to land body shots on someone who’s moving constantly.

 

He tried a few times but got his head knocked back, it’s not easy hitting a mobile target like Usyk to the body without suffering the consequences.

 

He tried it once but Usyk was sharp with the jab and rocking his head back consistently.

Dubois hasn't got the chin or boxing IQ to take those kind of risks he's simply not good enough.

 

Couldn’t find the right range. When he changed levels bringing the head down Usyk would time him coming forward with hooks.

 

Maybe because he signed a very well paid contract ? No idea. I agree its as strange as the whole evening

 

Its why I can't see Kabayel beating Usyk.

Usyk would anticipate those bodyshots from a mile away and use his footwork all fight.
