I don't expect Usyk to stop Dubois, providing? Dubois is injury free.

Dubois has good power, he is durable and he is innately a extremely aggressive fighter.

Usyk will most likely win the fight, but stylistically it will most likely be a bit of a struggle for Usyk.

But I don't think Usyk should be down rated for that, whether certain fights are stylistically easier for him or difficult 'Usyk has been getting the win'.

Usyk's fight vs Chisora, is actually good experience for him coming into this fight 'Because I expect the action to be very similar in this match up' etc.

Agree. Winning wide or decisively isn't the aim any more when you're a unified champion. Just winning is enough.

I don't care how Usyk looks against Dubois. If he beats a mandatory then he's proven himself, again. With mandatories you don't get to cherry pick the fighter with the style you think you can beat - you get the guy who is mandated.

I do think Dubois will pose problems for him.

Dubois tore his ACL didn't he?

Just a terrible injury for an elite sports person. You can reel of loads of footballers who were never the same after that injury. That explosiveness goes.

Could there be a worse opponent to face than Usyk if you worried you can't twist or turn quickly, change directions and push off?

Dubois seemed like he went into his last fight with an ACL injury and then completely fu.cked it whilst he was in there. Fair play to him for the win.

I think Dubois is having a shot to nothing here because why not. Usyk isn't a big heavy.

Dubois will probably retire after this fight imo.

I would. He's a young kid and he's getting some horrible injuries that actually to me just put a ceiling on how good he can be anyway.

Tough gig boxing at that level innit.

Doubt he wants to take lumps fighting for domestic titles. He doesn't really have much of a following.
