    I just think he has more in his locker as a boxer than Dubois does, and that should tell next time, kind of like Eubank Jr and Liam Smith. Both got ambushed and paid the price.

    But, there's a caveat with AJ, he is 34 with some hard fights through the years and it may well be showing in his performance now.

      It looked to me like DD's physical attributes, and the way he uses them, are all wrong for AJ at this stage of career. AJ did rock him though, right before getting nailed himself at the finish, so there is a glimmer of hope there for him.

      Imo, if there is a rematch AJ should do what he talked about doing in his post-fight interview- roll the dice. Stand his ground at the first bell, slug it out and hope for the best. It would be fun to watch, while it lasted.

          I think Josh can do much better in a rematch but not sure Josh can best ddd.
          DDD stopped 2 hard chin guys in jarrel and flip. Josh not tough chinned enough to last. I think Josh can last, but might be too cautious to get points win.
          So Josh best chance is to get ddd outta there

            I think Joshua getting cracked early had a strong influence on what came next, with the right game-plan I think he can subdue Dubois and land the shots he needs to get him out of there.

            To answer your latter question Joshua beat (a likely juiced) Dillion Whyte, I suppose everyone would claim Dubois beats Whyte, but that's not a given for me either, even now.
            So he'll be fine as long as he has a better game plan, and he doesn't get punched while trying to execute that game plan, because if he gets hit it all goes out the window?

              DDD might take the fight because the amount of money that the Saudis pay. He won't get that anywhere.
