Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois: Usyk is The Favorite, I've Got To Do a Job on Him

[TMLT87]

The only thing that gives me even a shred of doubt in this fight is Usyk is 36 years old and small for HW, so the decline could start hitting hard any time now.

Likely outcome is an easy UD win or late stoppage for Usyk though.

Dubois can win if he lands a punch and scrambled usyk s brain to the point his equilibrium isnt there

That's the only way he wins as he won't win on points. I could see a scenario where DD lands hard to the body and takes Usyk's legs away and then goes for the kill to the head but even there he has never demonstrated that kind of stamina nor skills to employ that strategy.

Lol just reading you people comments always crack me up. Usyk barely beat a faded Derek Chisora but now you people like Usyk is some kind of heavyweight boxing God because he beat slow robotic Anthony Joshua after doughboy Andy Ruiz already smashed him first. I know what you casuals will say but Dubois was knocked down and hurt by Kevin Lerena. Dubois went down because it looked like he hurt his ankle more than being hurt by punches. But let me play people little game. Tyson Fury got knocked down by light punching Neven Pajkic, Muhammad Ali was knocked down by various people earlier in his career and struggled against 180 pound Doug Jones. Wladimir Klistchko was destroyed by 37 year old Corrie Sanders. People lose and people get knocked down.

This doesn't mean Dubois is a good fight but Usyk isn't anything special at heavyweight either. He proved noting. Again beating slow robotic Anthony Joshua after he was knocked out already doesn't make you a world class fighter. In the first Joshua bout Usyk landed 28 percent of his punches against a slow target. In their second bout he landed 24 percent of his punches. This isn't remotely impressive. I can't imagine any legit top champion from Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Evander Holyfield, Rid**** Bowe etc landing those poor percentages against Joshua. Yet Usyk is suppose to be this boxing master to these casuals.

If Usyk does beat Dubois he will do it by running and landing a poor percentage of his punches. But Usyk isn't dominating any current heavyweight who has a pulse.

Dubois couldn't even avoid Joyce's "slow as mollases" jab lol. HW boxing, so he's still got a puncher's chance.

Usyk is gon beat Dubois ass.

I think it won't be such an easy fight for Usyk. It will be much more interesting than many think.
