Zhang vs Dubois

Dubois 70-30 fav.

Dubois needs to survive 6 rounds and fight is his.

 

Zhang. His left flicks out so effortlessly and Dubois is square a lot.

 

Dubois would be the clear cut favorite for once.

 

Zhang would likely spark him out. Dubois is hittable. Very hittable, bar the moments he remembers to move his head. No world class defense woven into his long rhythm.

 

Zhang wins.

By the way, Joyce probably had a confidence boost when Dubois destroyed AJ.

 

Not sure, Zhang has a granite chin and Dubois hasn't got the best defense. If it goes past 5 rounds, Dubois wins but I'm not sure it does

 

I suspect Dubois would need to adopt the opposite strategy to the one he had against AJ.

If Dubois went in aggressive against Zhang I suspect the wily Chinaman would counter and take him out early, it would certainly be high risk.

But if Dubois stuck behind the jab and wore Zhang down for 5-6 rounds then he could definitely win down the stretch.

 

Don't think Zhang actually has a granite chin, he got 1 punch KO'd a few times in the amateurs. He took Hrgovic' shots without issue, but so did Dubois. Solid defense though, Parker and Joyce were mostly hitting his guard.

 

Zhang most likely

 

Dubois takes him out. It’s just his time to dominate.

 

If it happens soon, Zhang stoppage inside 6. Dubois’ chin is good but Zhang will find it. He’s not hard to hit.

But as time goes by, Dubois’ chances increases simply because Zhang is so old, it’s virtually unheard of for someone in their 40s to be at the elite level like Zhang is

 

50-50, this is the most intriguing potential match.

 

Dubois has good power himself but not sure if he can handle the Chinese power. Would be an excellent fight to make.

 

Good fight but I think Dubois would be sensible to avoid this one for a while. Zhang is very dangerous.
