Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn warns Daniel Dubois ahead of Anthony Joshua showdown

[Phase III]

Sparring is nowhere close to a real fight
Just sayin’
This fight will be determined by DDD being able to take AJ’s power
If he can absorb it then I see DDD getting a decision in hard fought fight and maybe even a late Ko as AJ is known to kind of slowly but surely slowing down in the later rounds

Dubois had power plus. He already knows he can put AJ to sleep and trust me AJ knows that too. Dubois knocked AJ TFO, you hear me? AJ is as fragile mentally as they come and when Dubois connects, it’s over.

Whilst AJ has power, Dubois power is superior mate. Just watch how tentative AJ fights Dubois. I’m telling you mate, AJ not only got KTFO, there was concern he wasn’t going to wake up. Save my prediction mate.

How much you betting on it ???
Sounds like a sure thing

This could be a rough couple of months for Hearn. AJ could fall to Dubois. Canelo - who Hearn always makes out to be a great friend who can’t wait to work with DAZN again - may snub Hearn once more and bypass his guy Berlanga to fight Eubank Jr.

At least he swept the 5 vs 5 against Warren in Saudi.
Oh, wait, never mind.

They have one common opponent. Joshua KO’d Kevin Johnson in 2 rounds(might be 3 I can’t remember)
Dubois landed clean on him for 12 rounds and couldn’t stop him

This fight is win or retire for AJ and Fast Eddie knows it.

I don't think it ever really works that way.
Let's say AJ loses to Dubois but decides to keep fighting anyway.
If he knocks out a retread in his next fight (pick a name, any name will do), Eddie and the hype machine will
probably get him in the conversation, again, as a top-tier fighter.
"Do or die" - eh, we'll see.

Maybe if he wants to be a punch drunk journeyman trying to re live glory days he'll carry on for the 'fans' like ol mate Chisora.

Can't see it though. And if Fury loses again i doubt he would want to go to war with AJ for some local brit derby pissing contest bragging rights.

There's no incentive for Joshy to fight if it isn't for belts and this is his last grab. He'd be best served using his wealth trying to be a rapsinger.

If only their whiskers matched their power, they have both been badly stopped , and we all know it's really for the southern area title , you've got to be a complete buffoon to think otherwise . Usyk is king ..Good , decent scrap between a pair of contenders and should be fun whilst they last!

No way he will stand and trade toe to toe with DDD. He knows that Dubois only has only one thing going for him and that is his chin and KO power.

Two things?

If you’re into betting and the odds are favorable, I think it’s a good bet. Remember, you can check my prior post, I said Crawford was going to beat Spence easily, very easily, while most were calling it a 50/50 fight.

Given how fragile AJ is mentally, the KO by Dubois in sparring when Dubois was still a kid, is embedded deep in AJ’s brain. I’m telling you, it wasn’t a flash knock down, AJ took a lot of time to regain his faculties.

Dubois knows he can do it again. Hearn is a circus barker who wants you to believe that AJ got his confidence back. Hearn knows AJ is damaged goods which is why he has been very carefully matched with Helenius, Wallin, and Ngannou? Helenius fights like a wooden soldier, Wallin and Ngannou gave Fury all he could handle, which tells you Fury is not a good as you might be thinking.

Matchmaking is sometimes more like an illusion where the trick is to make you believe that what you’re seeing is real when in fact it’s all smoke and mirrors. The Hearn/AJ act is an illusion. AJ has never fully recovered from Dubois scary KO in the gym, Klitschko’s right hand, Ruiz’s KO , and two loses to Usyk where like Maverick in Top Gun he wouldn’t engage. Far worse than that, he got put to sleep by Dubois with headgear on. There was absolute panic in the gym with some thinking AJ was in grave danger. Like, is there a doctor around, this man looks like his body is in the rigor mortis stage.

Someone here commented that sparring is not the same as a real fight. I agree. But, when you have headgear on and don’t get up for a while after taking a shot to the head, that should alarm you. So besides AJ’s fragile mind, he also has a very very suspect chin. Just watch how carefully he fights Dubois circling to his right, incorporating head movement to make sure he’s off the center line, and being oh so careful throwing an uppercut, knowing that if he misses, a Dubois stinger missile is ****ed and in the launch position and then you will know what I’m saying mate.

AJ will ko dubiou around 7 or 8. AJ has to much power and is back to throwing again which is bad news for Daniel I'm afraid.
