Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua will knock out Daniel Dubois 'in style,' says Eddie Hearn

[hugh grant]

If DDD thinks he can take as many punches against Josh as he did with Flip, DDD maybe mistaken. Unless Flip hits harder? BUt yes, i think Josh kos DDD. BUt its a fight id not be shocked if DDD wins at all. Maybe a little suprised.
But yes, Josh to win.

Forget the three times world champion rubbish and the world title , this really is neither BUT a paper title and it's desperate that it's been seen as that by some . It's a scrap for the London bragging rights and would be a better fit for the southern area title , to call the winner the world champion is just embarrassing as we all know both have been badly beaten by the real world champion , Joshua twice now! It is an excellent domestic tussle with both being hard hitters and susceptible around the chin.

Eddie is probably right. AJ does just about everything better than Dubois.

[Mr WorldWide]

For Dubois yes, for AJ at least on paper no way unless you are going to try and discredit the long list of opponents better than Dubois .. we'll start with Joseph Parker who is ranked currently by everyone above Dubois and was when he beat him :-) .. looking at the Ring ****zine rankings Klitschko and Povetkin where ranked higher than Dubois is now .

I was talking about the recent opposition for both......post Usyk.

AJs resume is clearly superior

Eddie has to hope that Joshua has recovered from his PTSD of getting KTFO. Remember, Joshua was KTFO in sparring by Dubois and knowing how fragile Joshua is mentally, Dubois has a big edge. It didn’t help that Joshua during his rehabilitation was given three cream puffs and now he faces the fighter that practically put him in a coma during sparring. Eddie needs to build Joshua up because absent Canelo and now Turkie, he has been Eddie’s meal ticket. Dubois by KO

I don't know who hits hardver but DDD must be smarter and improve defence. I believe that AJ will not underestimate DDD like Miller and Filip did.

[Poopdick]

is this also going be on ESPN+? since Dubois usually is on there being a Warren fighter

Didn't Edward say exactly the same about Hrgovic.

Personally I'm hoping for a Foreman Lyle slugfest. But that's me every heavyweight fight.

& let's get things straight here, firstly Dubois isn't bidding he is the ibf paper belt champion.
2nd the wording has to change. When Ali was champ he faced everybody, was he 3 times undesputed?(I'm not sure) Or just a paper belt holder like Aj avoiding all the danger men in the division until he faced the best cruiserweight at the time & always with a prefight rematchroom clause.

There's a difference, time will tell but so far Aj hasn't beaten a prime elite heavyweight. Name one? 41 yr old retired 2 year's Klitschko, prospect Parker, nope.

As you can tell i'm hoping Dubois can get Kanye out of there early, or a 12 rd mauling would be great.

"Undesputed?(I'm not sure)"
It's Undisputed......Lol
"rematchroom clauses"
FYI
All Heavy Weight Title fights have Re-Match clauses!
"I'm hoping Dubois can get Kanye out of there early or a 12rd mauling"
Like Jesse Jackson said
"Keep hope alive"

I don't think boxers underestimate opponents really. More like overestimate own abilities. Yes ddd must take less hits, he might not be able to take that amount of hits again. Unless flip has no power, and it's taken nothing from ddd

[baroidi]

and if Joshua loses, will they do another rebuild with 3-4 very soft touches that leads to another paper title shot? or Dubois rematches till Joshua wins?
