Comments Thread For: Shock and awe as Daniel Dubois bulldozes Anthony Joshua

[Hands of Stone]

When we said AJ no longer has a chin, AJ hasn’t been tested since his Usyk loss, a lot of you said we were hating. Now I hope it is crystal clear. The concept of you don’t know what you don’t know was a huge factor with Dubois tonight. He didn’t know what AJ was capable of and he didn’t really care. His plan was to go out there and put it on him with little care what was to come back and that worked perfectly.

Now in fairness to Joshua, had he started fast instead of been timid (which u can probably attribute to lack of belief in his chin), he may have been the one to get to Dubois first. AJ may be done at the top level at this point. We say Wilder is done after that beating, AJ took worse beating here and this fight should have been stopped in round 4 so he just may be done as well. Maybe they can fight each other now and both retire

people were hyping "Rebuilt Joshua" under Davidson, Dubois was landing with ease.

I know it's embarrassing how anyone bought into that narrative particularly when its based on wins over Franklin an absolute nobody, Wallin a sparring partner he regularly man-handled over 100s of rounds and Ngannou.

I'm more than happy!! Despite I won 1000 betting I'm happy because everything and the "scene" was ready for AJ's victory. The referee was somehow at AJ's side. Dubois is a real threat to the HW division. He's only 25 and hope he will improve much more. Hearn had the nerve to say that AJ put in danger Dubois in the fifth round...Oh boy! I'm sure if that fight keep the same way to the final round the decision could be favorable for AJ. Dubois is not so loved as AJ. The good thing is boxing is not Hollywood...

It never ends. No matter the fashion in which a great fighter loses he’s always suddenly an unredeemable bum to these fans.

That was almost like white collar fighting. What a amatuer fight. AJ deserved that for keeping his hands down and chin up all night! Dubois is easy pickings for Usyk. Hell i think Tyson fury might be able to beat him. Dubois is so easy to hit but this fight was always going to be who ever lands first and Dubois did and AJ never recovered.

It was always going to be that way.

Yet Joshua seemed to be the only person who didn't realise it. When the bell rang he came out for a 'feeling out' first round and Dubois came for a fire fight. Inside 20 seconds there was only one winner.

It took Joshua 4 rounds to realise it was a fire fight. By then he was so damaged it barely mattered.

Where are all the AJ groupies who were screaming how he was back and better than ever after the Ngannou fight? Then they got mad when they were told it was fools gold. Now you got to see your boy with his leg in the air. Lmaoooooo

[El_Mero]

I called it!

This is who Joshua is & always was.

After the Klitschko fight, where a 41 year old, who had just been easily schooled by Tyson Fury, almost stopped him, Hearn made sure not to put him in there with anybody who could actually beat him until he had to against Usyk & now Dubois.

[alexguiness]

Fair play to Dubois, he beat Joshua like he owed him money. Joshua was exposed horriblly, his chin was so high and hands low...Dubois was lighting him up with jabs and ragdolling him in clinches. I didn't like the way Joshua kept posturing either, embarrassing himself. Joshua may be a physical specimen, but he is a mental midget.

[Mr WorldWide]

That last count was the only time I've seen a boxer try to pull off a breakdance move with one leg in the air and his tongue stuck to the floor.

Well done Daniel.
