Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois - DAZN PPV- Fight By Fight Thread

People are fickle. Before Joshua beat Francis Ngannou they said Joshua was done for losing twice to Usyk and to Andy Ruiz. Joshua beats Ngannou and they jump bakc on his bandwagon. He loses today and they jump back off. The same people who said Dubois was nothing special and a quitter now act like Dubois is this incredible fighter. Joshua was never good. This is his career. Beat Charles Martin for the "title" struggled against a 41 year old Wlad, beat a old man Alexander Povetkin and beat Joseph Parker a guy these people said was a nobody until he himself beat a old Deontay Wilder and a even older Zhang.. But that is Joshua's career. He was always robotic and stiff. He could never take a punch well. Despite all of his steroid muscles he seems fragile. Dubois got beat slow Joe Joyce who couldn't even beat a ancient Derek Chisora. Dubois barely got pass Kevin Lerena. Dubois quit against Usyk. Dubois beat overweight steroid cheat Jarrell Miller and then beat a mentally damaged Joshua who seemed mentally damaged ever since a old Wlad knocked him down years ago. Andy Ruiz completely shattered his confidence level. I mean, you can narrate it however you like. Fact is: AJ can stay around, but hes not the top of the food chain anymore. Whether he's been exposed or just changed after Ruiz, I don't know. All is know is he was the champ, and now he's not. He has a strong 1-2 when he can land it (against Ngannou), but it doesn't look like he has what it takes to beat the actual top guys. Other fact: whatever 3D is or isn't, he's got the other belt now. He came back from hard losses to big wins, and it's a great story. He may or may not beat Parker, Kabayel, or even Makmudov. But he's young enough that I hope we get to see it. And he looks ready and determined to take that work.

AJ challenging that Australian break dancer. Add in Wilder's pirouette and Clown Show Fury doing his Ukrainian pin ball routine and we would have the boxing equivalent of Cirque du soleil

It was a good one tho. A new chapter. Old champ is completely finished. New guy who had some struggles proved most people wrong who wrote him off a couple years ago. I hope he stays busy and keeps pushing forward cuz the other top guys are on the way out. People are fickle.

I know styles make fights and there are so many variables to consider, but taking the last, say, ten or so years into account and who fought who and who beat who and who lost to who… Maybe Daniel has shone the brightest light yet on the actual state of the division in that time frame? He beat Joshua, he arguably beat Usyk (eh, he didn’t, but I can go either way), who beat Fury, who almost lost to Ngannou, who got trashed by AJ, who got blitzkrieged by Dubois. Sounds like Daniel basically just licked the stamp and closed the door on a mediocre era and opened up a promising new one. Oh, also, I’m drunk as a skunk so also take that into consideration when you roast. ;)

Wilder was way overrated. That was clear long before his last 2 humiliation losses. And smart boxing fans who had overrated him at his peak (me) owned up to being wrong. Let’s see the 4 or 5 clown Hearn nuthuggers (note - they usually refer to their hero by weird girlfriend names like ‘Josh”) say it - Joshua was badly overrated and washed. Joshua was massively overrated. They literally gifted him a gold medal and it went from there but Joshua still compiled a good resume with 8 top 10 wins. He's nowhere near a wilder hype job. Joshua took tough fights and won someand lost some but he basically tried to fight everyone relevant including wilder ortiz etc...he was overrated from a talent perspective but at least we know his level. Wilder tried to perpetrate a fraud on everyone by knocking over can after can in order to trick people into thinking he was some unstoppable force. He was not.

Quite interesting to see/hear some real talent, ain’t it? At least people playing real instruments.

Looks like he's just come over the top rope like he biffed on the Naz entrance!

Looks like he's just come over the top rope Blooper reel highlight from the royal rumble.

The look of all that lost money on Tyson fury's face Yes. He got out of his chair and walked off straight away.

t Im no AJ fan and picked DDD to win...but i'll back you on that statement. I thought he was going to quit standing up like the Ruiz fight but he didn't.

At least AJ went out on his shield. Im no AJ fan and picked DDD to win...but i'll back you on that statement.

I think Joshua loses to every top 10 guy at this point. The man is mentally weak. I think Kabayel and Bakole both beat him right now. Parker beats him. Fury knocks him out. Zhang stops him. He should call a day. No need to get more damage . he had a great career.

Credit to Daniel he kept AJ completely out of this fight until the 5th round but then proceeded to not come out. I thought we had a chance to win but never in this fashion pretty much complete dominance. :boxing:

I think Parker outboxes DDD in 12 He has the skills, a good chin and is still hungry.
