I think he’s a live dog for sure but I do expect Usyk to make the appropriate adjustments like he so often does and win by decision or late stoppage.
Anyone see Dubois winning? If so, how do you see the fight playing out?
Dubois probably is more aggro this time. Throws more jabs , uppercuts and body shots.
Gives him better chance to win than he had first time
He cant fight like chisora did vs usyk but will try to take aspects of that
The Fury fight gets misread as a close fight because Fury was not trying to win but trying to fight tall and survive, cheap shot, dartle around and not take too many chances. It is an easy way to get a 8 figure bag however Usyk was the one pressing the action that is why he got the win. Fury did not fancy himself good enough to take the amount of risk needed to win the fight so Usyk nicked in all the rounds by landing the better shots and being the ring general. It takes 2 to make a fight and in both cases Fury wasn't interested in that type of fight. Dubois is not able to fight defensively the way Fury does so will face the same problems as last time and it might be worse this time as Usyk has already got a good read on him.

Realize this is Saudi Arabia, you've got to fight and not dartle around and play it safe hoping for a hometown decision.

Disagree, Usyk is the same fighter as he was 2 years ago, Dubois however in this fight will be the first confident fighter in good form that Usyk has faced at heavyweight.
Don't believe me? Look at the form that AJ, Fury and Dubois 1 were in when they fought Usyk, they had all been looking terrible in their recent fights.
Dubois is on good form and confident, it's a challenge Usyk hasn't seen yet at heavyweight.
Good point. I think Dubois has definitely improved since the first fight.
funny how apparently Usyk "schooled" fury but now suddenly in preparation in case he loses we are hearing how the fury fights "took so much out of Usyk". Hang on I thought they were easy wins?
Usyk did not school Fury – they were close fights. Whoever is saying schooled DKSAB. Usyk was also hurt multiple times and had to dig deep incredibly deep in the first fight.
Daniel Dynamite Dubois by 7th round knockout!
And then, watch the haters gather round Usyk's remains chanting ".....He was a phoney, Joshua and Fury were spent forces!!"
I got a bet placed for DD for UD. The odd pay out were pretty good lol.

Usyk had two of his toughest fights with Fury. He's getting to (or is at) the end of his career. Dubois is seemingly getting better each fight, and is riding a big high off of his last three stoppages.
I'm a big Usyk fan but I think Dubois has a strong chance – if I were Usyk I would have already sailed off into the sunset with one of the best careers the sport has ever seen.I agree. This is a fight that Oleksandr doesn’t need. At this point of his career he has nothing to prove. The longer he prolongs his career; Then the greater are his chances of losing.

I say Daniel Dubois by KO. Usyk is too old. Those two Fury bouts have really aged and took a lot out of him. Father Time is undefeated.
Also. this time around; Dubois just may get the benefit of a doubt. Many boxing fans and experts alike are split over whether Triple D defeated him the first time.
I personally believed that body punch Daniel Dubois landed was legal. I expect him to target that same area again.
Usyk did look slower in the second fury fight, as did fury, Dubois has never looked better, usyk still quite the favourite but chucked a little bet on Dubois knockout, could find a slower usyk and put him down.
Usyk was already well past his prime 2 years ago. His absolute peak was in the Briedis-Gassiev era, when he was fighting 4x a year and was a world class athlete.
As a heavyweight his peak was in the first AJ fight. Ever since then the UK promoters have been desperate to age him out and kill him with inactivity, the same thing they're trying to do with Parker and Kabayel now.
Since then Usyk has been fighting once or twice a year, has slowed down significantly and yet he still beat the crap out of Fury, AJ and Dubois even as an old man. His feet are noticeably slower and his punch output has faded and he is showing some signs that the silk sheets are starting to get to him.
He will still probably beat Dubois because he is simply from a different class of boxer and athlete than Dubois.
LMAO getting the excuses in eh!

I believe his chances depend upon Father Time in regards to Usyk.

IF Dubois uses the right strategy and jumps on the small old man early and treats it as a 6 round fight, then he has a good chance.
He won't though, he will come out trying to match Usyk jab for jab and I'll throw my TV out the window.
