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

[Slip jab]

The fury wilder and aj era is over!! Aj was only in it because he swerved the other guys. He would’ve gotten found out years ago but luckily for him Fury went AWOL so Aj got to masquerade as champ. Fraud.

[The plunger man]

Dubois is a big ,strong and fast dangerous puncher who is not afraid to let his hands go…that alone makes him a real handful in that ring

You tit Fury is probably the biggest fraud of all of them Frauds, he literally only fought Wilder and Whyte and as soon as he fought a 38 yr old Usyk he got knocked about the ring and was on qu*er street for 3 rounds

[Gamboal00]

AJ quits 4 da rematch so you gotta beat him twice.

And he's ducked more fighters than any heavyweight of this era...IMHO.

You mug you just started watching boxing last year?

He's ducked more people than Fury? Sorry what, how? Explain numpty.

Cong**** to Dubois. AJ looked like trash. He didn’t show any aggression until the 5th round. However he then ran straight into a counter trying to force a KO. Bad execution of the gameplan. I don’t think any of the blame goes to Davison bcs AJ didn’t look himself at all. Weak punches and poor movement. He was bad defensively and had no offense. There is no way the game plan was to do nothing until a perfect KO opportunity presents itself. This was the fighter doing poorly on the night.

Regardless ppl drooling over how good Dubois was are delusional. He was as open and stiff as ever. He ate again all of Joshua’s weak jabs without being able to block or slip. Against this fact AJ’s performance looks even worse as the opponent was there all night to be hit. Dubois deserves credit for constantly responding with aggression as soon as Joshua tried to throw. Kept AJ nervous and on edge from the beginning. I was sure AJ would be able to exploit Dubois’s leaky defence but not even close.

All in all a career worst performance from Joshua and great limitations on display by Dubois. However a massive profile lift and a huge W for DDD. Dubois will be fun to watch down the line as he is aggressive but also vulnerable.

Joshua may as well take the rematch since he still visibly hurt Dubois and he can’t rly do much worse than this. But there is no reason a rematch clause should be in place for the challenger. Although this wasn’t truly a championship fight so I guess it matters not.

If he takes a rematch it will be the same outcome, but probably faster. AJ cannot take any of Daniel's punches. Every connect, even the jab was hurting him. He was hurt in every single round. How is he going to increase his punch resistance in a rematch?

Well there are two ways to do that. Improve defence so you don’t take clean punches. And pumch more so you give less chance for your opponent to hurt you. It’s 101 boxing.

If AJ changes nothing then sure, he’ll likely get stopped faster since he was saved by the bell twice. But on the other hand he did so poorly he can even the odds by making small adjustments. He can be much better but Dubois looked the same as ever. I don’t think DDD is gonna change anything at all.

AJ was scared the minute he stepped in the ring with Daniel. Very difficult to execute any game plan in that mental state.

[Boxviewer]

Woooow...that's a great great performance by DDD. AJ has never been dominated like this before. DDD didn't allow him to settle down and imposed himself. A lot of respect for this guy. I really like his warrior mentality. I becoming a fan of his. I am an AJ fan but this was total beat down. DDD seems to be the real deal.

[SSDnv]

AJ really goes careless when he hurts his opponets ,Ruiz 1 comes to mind. Looked like the way Rolly jumped on the Tanks punch. Before the fight I tought it will be competative just because how Kevin Lerena put DDD on bambi legs several times. Daniel just went out there and ate AJ alive. And the new moniker Anothny "Rematch" Joshua comes into mind since the challenger to that clause lol ...
