Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker should beat Daniel Dubois, says teammate Paddy Donovan

[Toffee]

My prediction has been Dubois by KO around 7-10. On styles that looks right to me. But I've always liked Parker and backed him on here when most were mocking him (as they do as soon as someone has a defeat or two).

Parker has been in with big hitters before and there's no sense that any of them could just steamroller him, as many are predicting Dubois will. Zhang couldn't, Joshua couldn't, Whyte couldn't, the ghost of Wilder couldn't. Joe Joyce got a stoppage but it was late and that was peak Joyce against Parker when he was starting to look a bit like he was accepting his time might have passed.

Should be a really good fight. I like both guys, they're both on a high right now and really just hope they both turn up and do themselves credit. May the best man win.

All of those guys fight conservatively with a very low or modest output. None of them were as fast on their feet or as prime as Dubois is now and none of them had the volume punching or combination punching that Dubois has AND none of them were as aggressive. It's possible that Dubois will be a bit reckless in his aggression...That can be something that Parker can capitalize on. I just don't know if Parker will have the consistent accuracy and fortitude to deal with the onslaught. He might or he might not.

On the face of things that's how I see the fight too. But when you look a bit deeper I don't think you can ever question Parker's fortitude - he's a proven survivor in the ring. And not many have ever really built up an onslaught against him. Is Dubois really that much better than the guys he's been in with?

I agree with questioning whether Parker can land enough to halt Dubois. But he finds ways and always has done.

It's a great match up.

Once a QUITTER, always a QUITTER. Most interesting fight on the card.

I’d say most intriguing fight on the card

Doobies left eye aint come right since Big Jugs mashed it. Thats the "Quit Button" right there.

Usyk targeted it. I expect Parker will too. Get Doobie second guessing about that, covering up for it and it will reawaken old ghosts...

I fully expect Parker to experience an early flash knockdown from which he will recover and go forward with the game plan. I'd also expect Andy Lee to also have a plan B to adjust on the fly.

I dont know that, like BFF Fury, Parker would feel motivated to continue if he loses.

He's done enough for his family, his country and his culture. There's plenty of other roads he could travel that dont require getting punched in the face along the way.

Anthony Joshua should have beaten Daniel Dubois 'If he executed his customary solid fundamental boxing fight. Instead? Joshua seemingly disregarded his Olympic Gold Medal boxing skills and many years of experience as being one of the three Heavyweight Mountains of this era'.

To beat Daniel Dubois is no mystery 'I believe that most of the World's top boxing trainers, and fighters are? Very aware of the blue print and approach to beat Daniel Dubois. In all of his top level fights, in reality? Dubois has been done by the middle rounds. And this is because as a fighter, Dubois is a front runner'.

Daniel Dubois was done by the middle rounds vs Joe Joyce, he was done by the middle rounds vs OIeksandr Uysk 'And in my opinion, he was starting to erode vs Anthony Joshua even at his worst during their fight. Joshua from the moment he was deck in round one, got up off the canvas? To then fight his way back into the fight. If it was not for the uncharacteristic unforced errors, and technical mistakes from Joshua. In my opinion all the signs were there, that he would of completely taken over in the second half of the fight'.

Note: Daniel Dubois may have knocked out Anthony Joshua 'But go and look at the two fighters, during the aftermath of the fight. Daniel Dubois appeared to have sustained more structural damage than Joshua. Daniel Dubois on his best night, in a so called one sided performance? Was smashed up by Anthony Joshua at his worst'.

Yes. Daniel Dubois did show courage, and a certain level of resolve to battle on vs Joe Joyce with a injury 'But regardless, as the rounds progressed in that fight. Joe Joyce was systematically beating him up, with a straight forward game plan. Joyce effectively beat Dubois with his jab, solid movement and composure while under the attack from Daniel Dubois'.

To conclude: I personally think Joseph Parker and his team are just too smart 'Andy Lee is too good of a boxing analyst, to not be aware of how to beat Daniel Dubois. Andy Lee knows that Daniel Dubois is a front runner. During the Parker vs Dubois face off, Lee questioned Dubois on some of his past performances. Andy Lee could of pushed the issue, but out of respect? In my opinion he backed off. Lee most likely backed off from pushing the issue, because he was a fighter himself competing professionally not so long ago'.

Daniel Dubois is the favourite to win 'Only because there is no denying, that he has big momentum in his career right now. But I would not be surprised if Joseph Parker wins, and? Immediately when this fight was announced. I stated that if the fight goes past 5 to 6 rounds Daniel Dubois will begin to fade. Like he has done historically in all of his top level fights. Beating a out of condition, domestic level American Heavyweight Jarrell Miller in 10 rounds, does not prove that he is not a front runner'.

Toney Bellew said it best 'Fighters like Daniel Dubois are ether going to win in spectacular fashion, or get beaten in spectacular fashion'. The clock is ticking; it is just a question of when? Joseph Parker, Anthony Joshua II, Oleksandr Uysk II, I would even give Joe Joyce a chance of beating Daniel Dubois in a second fight'.

Joseph Parker just needs to box a sensible and technically sound fight in the early rounds 'And look to establish his jab. The rounds will beat Daniel Dubois, just by staying in the fight and not wilting under any attacks. I honestly believe those tactics can have a big impact on Daniel Dubois'.

I rate Daniel Dubois as a dangerous, powerful and aggressive fighter 'But I don't rate him super highly as complete fighter. He is there for the taking in my opinion, by Top level fighters with an all round boxing game and power. Both Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker have all of those attributes' etc.

Parker has little chance ,dubois is far too accurate and has a good enough work rate to keep parker on the run all night

Unless Parker hurts Dubois in an exchange and finishes him then hes not going to win and the chances of that happening is in the 10 percent range

i feel like Dubois's jab will play a huge factor as parker will be eating it at the start of every combination and he will struggle to see the other punches coming

I have to agree.

Joseph Parker has a very big chance. He is most likely the second most powerful puncher, he has ever fought after Anthony Joshua 'Parker is also a proven skill for skill component boxer with superior levels of durability than Daniel Dubois'.

Those are all the attributes you need to beat Daniel Dubois, because? Skill for skill Dubois is doing nothing sophisticated during his fights 'Dubois entire game is based on wading forward, and letting his punches go. Which is great, due to his brute strength and power he will beat many Heavyweight fighters within this era. But when he truly comes up against a top level Heavyweight fighter, with durability power and skill. I think Daniel Dubois will be there for a taking vs that level of fighter'.

If Daniel Dubois does not deck or inflict serious damage on his opponents 'And his opponents are able to just land their attacks on Dubois with consistency. There is a very high likely-hood, that Daniel Dubois will just fade as a fighter and be broken down systematically'.

'Daniel Dubois has been proven to be a front runner in ALL of is top level fights. Beating Jarrell Miller who was a domestic level American Heavyweight fighter, does not prove? Dubois has a great work rate. Dubois may be active and dangerous for 4 to 6 rounds, and then? Historically he has always began to fade, that is what happened vs Joe Joyce, Oleksandr Uysk and? All there signs where there that Anthony Joshua before making a unforced error and wading into a knockout punch, was also beginning to break down Daniel Dubois in my opinion'.

Looking at the two fighter during the aftermath of the fight 'Daniel Dubois had clearly sustained heavy structural damage. I don't think that fight was as one sided, as the media and Joshua's critics would like you to believe. I give credit to Dubois for taking his opportunity vs Anthony Joshua, and executing a better fight. But I have continually referred to his performance and that fight night? As Daniel Dubois, Any Given Saturday. In reference to the NFL movie Any Given Sunday: 1999'.

I will acknowledge that Daniel Dubois did show courage and certain level of resolve vs Joe Joyce 'To battle on for so long with his injury. But the injury was caused by Joe Joyce, he inflicted the damage. And as that fight progressed, you could see that Dubois's game was decreasing. Dubois was systematically beaten up, by Joe Joyce predominately with jab'

Joseph Parker is the proven more durability fighter than Dubois 'Parker has never been knocked out by a jab, from a former Cruiserweight fighter in Oleksandr Uysk. Who has never been renowned or his brute strength or power. Parker has also has never dramatically faded in fights, soon as the fight action surpasses the middle rounds'.

I personally think the win for Daniel Dubois is reliant on two things predominantly which are: 1: Dubois has to hurt Parker badly. 2: He has to knock Parker out within 5 to 7 rounds. If Daniel Dubois does not achieve this? I would not be surprised in the slightest, if he is beaten up and systematically broken down by Parker over the distance'.

To conclude: Joseph Parker historically has been criticised for underperforming, or not really executing his best fight 'Even though he has not suffered any traumatic losses like Anthony Joshua. In many of his fights, he has been a way more tentative fighter. Parker is actually a very similar fighter to Joshua, with his abilities. And that is why I actually give him a big chance of winning vs Dubois'.

Stylistically Heavy fighters that have all round game, combined with power 'Those type of fighters are bad match ups for Dubois. Anthony Joshua upon an analysis, was a extremely dangerous fight for Dubois. That is why? Dubois's momentum after that fight has went from 0 to 100, because that was a great win'.

I believe it was Toney Bellew who stated it best 'Fighters like Daniel Dubois, are ether going to win in spectacular fashion or get beaten in spectacular fashion'.

In my opinion on his current form, with his fighting style 'It is evitable'. Joseph Parker without a shadow of a doubt, has all the attributes in order to win 'And a great team around him, to execute the type of fight to beat Daniel Dubois' etc.

I think you're far too hyped on Parkers last couple of wins.

He does not systematically break down fighters and stop them.

By the time its round 6 or 7 Parker will have taken such a sustained beating he'll be running for the hills or hoping the towel gets thrown in.


I seriously think everyones underestimating Dubois.

He was a child when he was beaten by Joyce and he quit..

He wasnt stopped or ko'd and he took some bombs off Joshua,i beleive he will dominate Parker in one of his easiest nights yet..


His accuracy has always been there and toppled with more of the training he's been having hes only getting better..


Its the easiest fight of the night to predict excluding the Shakur fight
