    Probably yes, but I hesitate because Dubois is still green and has not shown his full potential yet. Or maybe he did, but we'll see after this fight. So I'm not voting.

    No, Usyk stops him between the 5th and 9th.

    Im saying yes. I think Usyk doesnt have ko power at heavy to beat guys a lot bigger but he will outbox him. Im going for a 8-4/9-3 type ud with a possible late tko if Dubois rushes him early on and gets tired later.

    I think Usyk will use his skills to out smart/out box Dubois to either a mid-late stoppage or Dubois corner pulls him out. I just feel if Joyce can out box him with the jab that Dubois is going to have a hard time dealing with Usyk. But it’s Heavyweight boxing and anything can happen,so good luck to both fighters .

    Dubois will take a risk, either he will knock out Usyk or he will be knocked out, in any case the fight will not go all 12 rounds.

    The thing that happened to Witherspoon will happen to Dubois. Usyk will rain constant bombs on him and Dubois will retire between rounds 8 - 10.

    Imo either Dubois will shock Usk early, or Usk will wear Dubois down and the fight will be stopped when Dubois starts to take too much punishment.

    Got a feeling Usyk is going to stop him via accumulation, somewhere around 8-10. Could see it happening earlier if Dubois tries throwing everything at Usyk early on and wears himself out. I'm gonna say TKO 9.

    I think Usyk will make him quit or make the ref step in to stop it, it will be that one sided.
